PPI Entertainment

Background
In the early 1990s, Peter Pan Industries changed its name to PPI Entertainment Group (and in 1999, PPI Entertainment), but its video division, Parade Video (alongside sublabels Peter Pan Video and Ambassador Video) continued operating as a sublabel of PPI until 2006 when it was merged into PPI and renamed overall to Quiver Distribution.

1st Logo (1990-1992)
MmWSeBBTcws

Logo: On a black background, pieces of what appears to be a metal starburst, which is mirrored at the middle, fly in and take over. After it forms, a black circle flies in like a butterfly. On it is the segmented text "PPI" and the  cursive text "entertainment group" stacked under it. The circle then folds over itself and rotates to the center of the screen. It then flips over to the Parade Video logo, which is the one from the company's second logo, but in flamingo pink filled with cornflower blue. The Parade Video logo then folds over itself as well and flies away to the center of the screen like a bird, leaving the background, which crumbles away.

Technique: 2D computer animation.

Audio: An ambient sound at the beginning, before a reversed cymbal clash. This is followed by a loud synth trumpet fanfare, with the last note held out before ending with a cymbal crash and the ambient sound again.

Availability: Unknown.

2nd Logo (1992-1999)
Logo: On a marble background, a black coin (kind of looks like a hockey puck) swivels up to the screen, growing larger and larger. At the same time, the 3D letters "PPI", in, swivel onto the screen. When the coin and the letters join, the words "entertainment group", in, zoom out from the bottom of the screen and plaster themselves onto the coin. A white light passes over both words. The coin and words then flip around, revealing up to 3 different results:


 * On the reverse side is the Parade Video logo, different from its predecessors. This time it consists of the word "PARADE", in, with the "P" and the "E" extended downwards. In the space between the "P" and the "E" lies the word "VIDEO", in a Century Gothic-type font. Below that are three lines, each one shorter and a different thickness from the other. In the lines is a crystal-like object (presumably a diamond) that spins and shines.
 * The reverse side of the coin is navy blue and shows the words "PETER PAN", in a "storybook" font. The words shift to the bottom of the coin, and its space is filled in with an animated silhouette of Peter Pan (which looks similar to the 1953 Disney version) sitting cross-legged and with his hands on his knees. The silhouette opens its arms wide as a shower of colorful stars cascades over the logo, turning the words "PETER PAN" . A (TM) sign fades in soon afterward.
 * On the reverse side is the Ambassador Video logo, consisting of the word "AMBASSADOR" in a bold, compressed font that appears to be made out of gems, and "VIDEO" in a Helvetica-like font and extended. Between these two words, there is a horizontal line. All this lettering is in a dark magenta color. Unlike the other variants, this appears to have no additional movement.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: A short synth-piano tune that changes into an orchestral fanfare. For the Peter Pan variant, chimes are heard when the shower of stars cascades over the logo.

Availability: The Parade Video variant is seen on later workout videos and B-movie releases. The Peter Pan variant is mostly seen on kids' videotapes such as The Human Race Club, TM Books, Big Trains and Toy Trains, More Big Trains and Toy Trains, and the Growing Up Well series.

(1999-2006)
Logo: On an apricot-colored background with shadows of circles moving in it, we see a sphere and two odd-looking curvy shapes (one is a yellow semicircle-like shape with a narrowed-out corner and the other is an  boomerang-like shape). They all zoom out, turn 3D, and form a different PPI logo, consisting of an oval with a very curvy, italicized "P" inside. Then "PPI Entertainment" in black and in a sans serif typeface, appears underneath. The logo remains on-screen for a minute, then fades out.

Trivia: This is one of the longest logos ever made, lasting nearly a minute.

Variants:
 * On Denise Austin's Power Kickboxing Workout, the logo forms as usual, but instead of staying on screen, it then fades to a structure of the Parade Video logo rotating on a purple background. The Parade Video logo (this time with the text and crystal in yellow) fades in afterwards.
 * On the 2000 promo for Hit the Spot, after the Artisan Home Entertainment logo, there's a still variant where the logo is placed in the black background.
 * A shorter version exists.

Technique: CGI. None for the still variant.

Audio: An upbeat jazz synth-piano and light drum beat tune. For the variants, same as the previous logo, but the shorter version uses the last few seconds of the aforementioned music. The still variant has the music from the promo.

Availability: Seen at the end of most PPI releases. The shorter version appears on some tapes such as the 2000 Artisan Home Entertainment re-release of the 1997 VHS of Hit the Spot: Totally Firm.
