 * On The Wedding Singer, the film's logo (with "DVD" next to it) appears above "DVD Production by:", with the LaserPacific logo below.

 * On Mortal Kombat: Annihilation, it appears over a stormy background, with flashes of lightning.

2nd Logo (1998-2003)


Logo: On a black background, the LaserPacific logo, which is a DVD shape in a eye shape with many different lines, and the words "LASERPACIFIC MEDIA CORPORATION" appear via a wipe effect. Then the LaserPacific logo gleams as a large gray DVD logo (which was narrower than usual) fades in behind it. After that, the white words "ENCODING" and "AUTHORING" appear on the top and bottom via a wipe effect as well.

FX/SFX: The LaserPacific logo and text wiping in, the fading of the DVD logo, and the white words appearing.

Music/Sounds: A whoosh, as well as a dark bang as the logo gleams, or else it's silent.

Availability: Fairly common.

3rd Logo (2003-2007)


Logo: On a black background, a split red arrow is pointing at a DVD emitting lights before it rotates to the side and "DVD" appearing on the DVD. More arrows come in to the DVD and disappear as a oval outline draws around the DVD and "ENCODING" appears on it. It becomes a solid sky blue circle via a countdown effect with lines and arrows on it and then it has "AUTHORING" appearing on it as it becomes yellow, then red, and more lines draw around it. The logo zooms out completely as it quickly turns into the logo from before. The text "LASERPACIFIC MEDIA CORPORATION" fades in below.
