New Power Generation

Not to be confused with Prince's 1990-2013 backing band of the same name.

1st Logo (1987-1989)
Logo: On a black background, "Courier" and "Courier", the latter of which is in an arc, is shown. "POWER" in a balloon-like font then fades and zooms in.

Technique: "POWER" fading and zooming in.

Music/Sounds: A synth rendition of the "Bridal Chorus" by Richard Wagner.

Availability: Unknown.

2nd Logo (1989-1991)
Logo: On a black background, the letters of "POWER " fly in and twirl while leaving disappearing trails. There are also two light bursts seen floating near the end of this sequence. Afterwards, the logo spins clockwise while leaving a trail and releases more lens flares. As the lights continue to appear and fly around, "Courier" and "Courier" in the same format as before slide in and rotate around "POWER" before settling on their same positions as before. Not long after the lights fly off screen, "PRÄSENTIERT:" in a digital font types in and blinks before wiping out. The logo then slightly tilts while "POWER" loses and regains colors on several portions of itself and spins and zooms out into the distance, leaving a couple of lens flare that disappear not long after.

Technique: The logo spinning and zooming in, the lights flying, and the text sliding; basic 2D computer effects.

Music/Sounds: An excerpt of "Electrica Salsa" by Off. Loud bangs and crackling sounds are heard when the logo twirls.

Availability: Unknown.

(1991)
Logo: A spinning -white- ball dashes in while leaving a trail, absorbing the whole screen after a few seconds. Then, an outlined "POWER" in a similar format as the last logo wipes in, followed by "NEW" and "GENERATION" in a Balloon font fading in on the top left and bottom right of "POWER" respectively. The latter word gains color and not long after, a duplicate of it wobbles. Several seconds later, it stops. Then, " präsentiert: " slides in underneath from the right and towards the left. The logo is then packaged back into a ball, twisting a few times and zooming out.

Technique: The ball spinning and zooming in; "POWER" wobbling; the text fading and sliding.

Music/Sounds: An airplane whoosh sound when the ball flies in, transitioning into a space-like warble as "POWER" wipes in. After it appears, a funky synth bass theme plays in the background and then a gunshot when the other words appear. A robotic voice then says "Power Video" and other unknown phrases, followed by applause. Then, a quiter airplane whoosh plays as "präsentiert:" slides in and then a car driving as the ball zooms out.

Availability: Unknown.
