2nd logo (1982-1991)
Logo: We start with an animated shot of a skyscraper-filled city. We then pan left to reveal a field, trees, and mountains. As we zoom up to the sky, we see an orange sun as a flock of birds in a line fashion fly over the sun. The entire screen turns white as the black words "PICTURE MUSIC INTERNATIONAL" in a black serif font appear. The birds appear superimposed over the words.

Variant: One version featured the end product with the company text fading in below.

Technique: The panning of the camera, birds flying, fading.

Music/Sounds: A relaxing new age synth theme with drums as the birds appear.

3rd logo (1989-199?)
Logo: On a dark teal background narrow grey lines shoot from all four sides of the screen and cross in the middle forming a grey transparent set of letters reading "PMI" which fade out. Then numerous bars are formed and soon disappear from the screen. Six vertical bars and five horizontal ones are drawn in and give way to the set of letters formed earlier in the logo this time in solid blue. A blue bird flies in from the bottom left corner of the screen and dots the "I", "PICTURE MUSIC" in white in a blue rectangle fades in beneath the logo and "INTERNATIONAL" also in white in a blue rectangle fades in beneath the other blue rectangle.

Trivia: This was based on the print logo that was used on earlier releases.

Technique: TBA.
