Krofft Entertainment

Background
Krofft Entertainment is the production company of Sid Krofft (b. July 30, 1929) and Marty Krofft (b. April 9, 1937), a Canadian sibling team of puppeteers and television creators. The company has produced numerous children's television and variety show programs in the United States, particularly in the 1970s and early 1980s, some examples including H.R. Pufnstuf, Land of the Lost, The Bugaloos, Sigmund and the Sea Monsters, and Lidsville. The style of their fantasy programs are known for often featuring large-headed puppets, high-concept plots, and their extensive use of low-budget special effects.

(September 11, 1976-December 5, 1992)
Logo: On a zooming space background, we see a -tinted glass block with "ENTERTAINMENT" embossed on the front, and "KROFFT" in a Helvetica font stacked on top of it. The logo starts off zoomed back and rotated to the right slightly, showing some lighting on the left, but it then zooms in and rotates into position while giving off a quick glimmer of light.

Variants:
 * There are filmed and videotaped variants of this logo. The videotaped variant has brighter colors, while the filmed is darker.
 * On the 1991 version of Land of the Lost, a copyright stamp is chyroned-in below the logo, which is also again filmed on this version, as the logo originated on tape.

Technique: Live-action modeling effects.

Music/Sounds: A series of faint laser zaps with a dreamy electric piano stinger.

Availability: Rare. Seen on late-period Krofft shows like 1991's Land of the Lost, Pink Lady and Jeff, Barbara Mandrell & the Mandrell Sisters Show and Electra Woman & Dyna Girl.
