PC Treasures

(2001-2006)

Logo: On a red patterned wall and floor, a chest drops down from the top of the screen. The sound of popping then starts to ramp up as the chest is forced open with popcorn. The popcorn overflows the chest, causing it to fully opening up and making 2 film reels and a fountain drink to emerge from it. A diamond then pops out of the popcorn and flips towards the screen, landing near the bottom and flashing, causing the floor and chest to disappear and "PC TREASURES, INC." in a bold gold font, slides up and zooms out into position. The text then flashes as "Multimedia Entertainment" slides down. The diamond continues to sparkle.

Variant: A short version exists where the logo starts with the text flashing.

Technique: The chest dropping and overflowing, the diamond flying in and flashing, the text appearing. Not a badly-animated logo for a public-domain company.

Music/Sounds: First, a thud is heard, followed by the sound of popcorn popping, a higher pitched version of the sound for the diamond, and a "ding" for the flash. A 3-note orchestral fanfare finishes the logo off. The short version is silent.

Availability: Rare for both the short and long versions. The long version appeared on various public domain cartoon DVDs, while the short version probably appeared on PC compilations.
