Pyramid Video

1st Logo (1987-1989)


Logo: We see a night sky and moving water below. A violet pyramid then rises from the water, and then a star flies from the top-right hand corner of the screen and hits the top of the pyramid, making it flash, and the white/orange/black gradient word "PYRAMID" flies from the top of of the pyramid and to the top of the screen with a trail effect. The Japanese text "ピラミッド・ビデオ（株）" ("Pyramid Video Continental Publishing Co., Ltd.") appears at the bottom.

FX/SFX: All the animation.

Music/Sounds: A calming tune, along with some ping sounds.

Availability: Seen on early Pyramid Video releases from the era.

2nd Logo (1989-1992)
Logo: On a space background, we see a 3D cube zooming out from pieces, then a laser cuts out and form a pyramid, which turns silver to gold, and then the rainbow colored words "PYRAMID " rotates from the center of the pyramid, then the rainbow colored words "VIDEO " zooms out from just below the word. Then the Japanese text "大陸書房" (which means "Continental Shobo") flips in below the logo.

FX/SFX: CGI animation.

Music/Sounds: A synth theme with whooshes, ending in a chime.

Availability: Seen on later Pyramid Video releases from the era.
