Draft:Panasonic (Commercial Tags)/North America

1st Tag (1970s-1980s)
Visuals: The last shot of the commercial zooms out to a square on a black background, where the Panasonic logo and the slogan "Just slightly ahead of our time" are shown at the bottom. After a while, the Panasonic logo slides in to the right.

Variants: On early commercials, the first letter of the slogan may or may not be capitalized.

Technique: Cel animation.

Audio: The ending music of the commercial, along with an announcer saying "Panasonic, just slightly ahead of our time".

Availability: Seen on their North American commercials from the era, mostly for their TV sets.

2nd Tag (1980s-1996)
Visuals: The same Panasonic logo and slogan from before appear superimposed on the last shot of the commercial.

Variants:
 * Starting in the mid 1980s, the Panasonic logo has been made larger and is now colored, with the slogan now smaller and aligned to the right.
 * Starting in the late 1980s, the Panasonic logo and slogan have been aligned to the center and are either in white or black colors.
 * One early 1980s commercial has only the slogan fading in, before the Panasonic logo slides in quickly and brakes as it settles to its position.
 * At least one 1980s commercial has the logo and slogan zooming out while sliding from the sides.
 * At least one 1980s commercial has the logo and slogan positioned to the right, with the Panasonic logo aligned to the left. The logo then slides to the right, just like the previous tag.
 * In a 1996 commercial, the Panasonic logo and slogan are aligned to the left of the screen with the 1996 Olympics partnership logo shown at the right.

Technique: Cel animation.

Audio: Same as before.
