According to Lost Media Wiki user TheYoshiState, the ad started at a staircase in an art museum and panned across a hall with various art frames hung on a green wall with silhouettes of people in the foreground before ultimately arriving at an art piece of the Standard Federal Bank logo, with new-age music playing in the background.

As of 2016, this commercial has yet to surface anywhere on the internet (due to the ad airing at times when not many people would be recording PBS), though in early 2013 TheYoshiState recreated what the ad may have looked like in maze-like fashion using the Trimble Sketchup program and uploaded it to the Trimble 3D Warehouse (a download site for models generated using Sketchup) on January 26 of that year under the user name MДTT, TЯIMBLΣ HILLS CØP.

This animated advertisement for Standard Federal Bank (a Detroit-based bank that is now Bank of America) aired at least once likely as a local funding promo on Detroit PBS station WTVS or possibly on other Detroit-area stations circa the late 1990's.

According to Lost Media Wiki user TheYoshiState, the ad started at a staircase in an art museum and panned across a hall with various art frames hung on a green wall with silhouettes of people in the foreground before ultimately arriving at an art piece of the Standard Federal Bank logo, with new-age music playing in the background. There may have been a female voiceover as well.

As of 2016, this commercial has yet to surface anywhere on the internet (due to the ad airing at times when not many people would've been recording PBS funding promos), though in early 2013 TheYoshiState recreated what the ad may have looked like in maze-like fashion using the Trimble Sketchup program and uploaded it to the Trimble 3D Warehouse (a download site for models generated using Sketchup) on January 26 of that year under the user name MДTT, TЯIMBLΣ HILLS CØP. That model can be viewed here.

Making matters worse, it is likely that the remaining tapes of this ad that were kept by Standard Federal Bank may have been erased after Standard Federal Bank was acquired by LaSalle Bank of Chicago in 2004 or after that in 2008 after LaSalle was in turn acquired by Bank of America.
