Panasonic Disc Manufacturing Corporation

1st Logo (2000's)

YDrbL8Hjag0

Logo: Against a black background, 2 DVDs, one solid and the other transparent, zoom out to the center of the screen, with the solid one coming in from the top left and vice versa. The DVDs fuse together to create one solid DVD. As it rotates, a laser with a lens flare that moves with it traces around its edges, causing it to turn into a flat abstract disc shape in black and silver. "PDMC" in ghostly white appears before flashing into neon blue and turning 3D in the process, as "Panasonic Disc Manufacturing Corporation" fades in below. The lens flare moves in the background from left to right.

FX/SFX: Everything.

Music/Sounds: A synth pad drone with a warbling sound, a reverse cymbal, a low-pitched laser sound, and a low hit with a deeper drone at the end. The music is in-sync with everything that goes on in the logo.

Availability: Seen at the end of a variety of Fox DVDs, including the 2004 DVDs of Catch That Kid, Once Upon a Forest, and Garfield the Movie.

2nd Logo (2006-2008)

Logo: Against an ocean blue background with a bright blue vortex, a transparent DVD flies in up close from the top right of the screen, immediately zooming out afterward. As it does, it turns white and then solid as a faint flash fires a laser that runs from left to right at the bottom of the disc. The laser forms "Panasonic Disc Manufacturing Corporation" while also wiping in "PDMC" above. When the laser leaves, two horizontal white lines below pass through each other, repeating it until a white horizontal strip is formed. After this, two blue lines inside the strip perform the same action to cover most of it with a blue strip, as a pink spark inside flies left to right, forming the Panasonic logo and the company slogan "ideas for life" (in the same font).

FX/SFX: Everything.

Music/Sounds: A synth note that becomes louder, followed by a brief explosion and the sound of the laser. Dreamy sounding keys play repeatedly as the logo ends with a horn sounder. Again, everything is in-sync with the music.

Availability: Extremely rare. Seen on a DVD release of Saving Grace. More commonly found on Fox DVDs, including It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia and Strawberry Shortcake.
