NICE.

I definitely like this idea the best! How cool!

To fade into an actual mountain again seems unlikely, which is fine with me. However, this was too good to pass up.
So you're looking at this saying to yourself, "Well, that looks like crap. Big deal." You'd be right at first. Then I would tell you that these are suspected pyramids. In Russia.
They are located near the port town of Nakhodka, which means "Lucky find" in Russian. The location could give a plausible reason for Indy to be there, to tangle with the Russian Army, In The Snow, get pursued by aerosleds, and oh yeah, gives the Paramount logo something relevant to fade into. Kind of does a lot.
Here's a link for further reading on the speculation that these could be man-made or at least man-altered.

I thought it was dead...
"Never say never," isn't that what Spielberg said about Indy movies? Hope springs eternal for another film until we hear otherwise, so my ideas (as I'm sure is the case with other fans) come out of seemingly nowhere at a moment's notice. After I've had ample time to mull this thread over again, I found a new appreciation for AtomicAnt's idea:

It's not as spectacular as some of the other ideas here, and yes, I would rather it be something really eye-catching, but it seems more like something SS would do for this. Understated and plot-driven.
A number of us were fond of the notion of something along these lines, more than five years ago:
Of course, something along those lines would probably require some undoing of Jones the family man...unless he's just <I>in</I> a bar, and not actually drowning his sorrows, as some of us hoped way back when. Maybe he's there looking for information, or maybe he's at some sort of faculty party. We're getting into the era of that sort of thing...

That would also be some shameless advertizing, bringing in a bit of revenue. Like James Bond's favourite make of watch or gadget.
There could even be a tagline:
"Married? Got a kid you never wanted? Feeling tied down? Drink Mountain Ridge and be like Indy and make a break for freedom." *
*Lucasfilm advises you drink Mountain Ridge sensibly.

That's a valid point, Mickiana. But just for the sake of argument, these idea are all only applicable to the opening 3rd act. Having the Russians spill over into another film in this way wouldn't be so terrible, then leave the rest of the movie in the hands of another villainous force......eh?

If the opening 3rd act involves Indy's past like the opening for LC did, how about:

How about actually fading into a billboard for Paramount Pictures?

The Paramount logo fades to a Ku Klux Klan hood.
A hand appears and pulls off the hood, revealing Indiana Jones.

Paramount logo dissolves to the snow-capped Matterhorn in the Alps.
Camera pulls back to reveal that it's actually the Matterhorn ride in Disneyland!
Titles: CALIFORNIA 1960
Silhouette of Indy & Short Round walk on screen.
Short Round: "Docta Jones, maybe one day you get wide here."
Indiana Jones: "Whaddya mean, Short Stuff?"
Short Round: "Yo' own wide, Indy! Yo' own wide!"
Indiana Jones: "Shorty, you've got a vivid imagination."
