Logo (1989?-1991?)


Visuals: On a black background, 7 lines from the left side of the screen and 8 lines from the right side of the screen slide in to form a segmented square with many changing patterns. The background fades to grey and the square starts to become black as a circle with changing patterns appear. The square becomes fully black and starts to split. More shapes appear as the square gets split into 2 overlapping squares. The background becomes black as a white outline appears on the squares. The shapes disappears as 2 triangles and rectangles appear forming stylized Ps with changing patterns. As the Ps are getting formed, 7 long lines from the left side of the screen and 8 long lines from the right side of the screen slide in and briefly form a rectangle and slide off the screen. When they leave the screen, "Times New Roman" in white fade in under the squares. The patterns continue to change.

Technique: 2D computer animation.

Audio: It begins with synth bells that are heard throughout. A guitar thud is heard when the squares split. A shredding like sound is also heard when the lines slide under the squares. Another guitar thud is heard when the name fades in and continues even after the logo starts to fade out.
