1st Logo (October 15, 1982)


Visuals: On a green sunburst background, we see the yellow text "PNR" in a fancy font & the red text "Pictures" below it zoom in & get in the center.

2nd Logo (December 16, 1983-February 21, 1986)


Visuals: On a black background with curved lines, we see the letters "P", "N", & "R" appear randomly, in purple & yellow. Then they appear one-by-one flashing purple, yellow, & red as we cut to a moving light background. Then, "PNR" & "Pictures" appear one-by-one twice before stopping & flashing various colors.

Trivia: The background is actually taken from the 1977 movie Demon Seed.

Variant: There's a short/abridged variant. It's also brownish.

Technique: A mix of early CGI and cel animation.
