Pioneer Entertainment: Difference between revisions

*Opening of Side 1: We start off with a zooming starfield. After several seconds, a greenish image of a rotating Milky Way galaxy appears. Then, the Pioneer logo, consisting of a combination of a tuning fork and a capital Omega symbol "Ω" with "PIONEER" to its right, appears and zooms up. As we get close to the letter "O", the Milky Way fades out, and the logo begins to give off a blue light trail effect. We zoom through the letter "O", and some sparkles appear. A white circle zooms out, which turns into a rainbow-colored cycloid shape, which disappears off the screen as a laser forms the words "LaserDisc" in a metallic italicized font. Then, a laser comes in from the left and carves a line through the word as it flashes many different colors before turning back to silver.

*End of Side 2: Essentially, a reversed and abridged version of the side 1 opening logo: we see the words "LaserDisc" set against the starfield again. A blue line shoots through from the left, remaining on the screen. Then, the words disappear, and the sparkles zoom toward the screen, cutting to the Pioneer logo (with blue light trail) zooming out. The green Milky Way galaxy appears again.

'''Visuals:''' On a black background, the word "LaserDisc" is seen on screen, with the usual Pioneer logo underneath. A red line draws from left to right, then sends off a big flash.

'''Visuals:''' On a black/blue gradient background, we see the words "PIONEER ARTISTS" in the Pioneer font with a blue TV tube shape containing a white Pioneer logo on the left. The words "LaserDisc" is seen below with a line through it. Below all that is a red line with "digital SOUND" at the bottom right with the line in between.

*If side 1 on the disc comes to an end, the logo appears with the words "End of Side 1" appear in the bottom left.

*On the intro of a specific line of Pioneer releases (titled Compact LaserDisc), the logo would fade in, a few effects would scale some text, and then a line would draw though the "digital audio" logo in the corner and would then spin to show the album cover. The outro version would just fade in with the logo text but with the line and the "digital audio" replaced by "End of Side", then spinning to show the copyright warning.  

'''Visuals:''' On a black background, a ring of yellow, lime green and orange sparkles moves to the center of the screen to encircle a gold tuning fork. Then, the ring and tuning fork turn into the Omega symbol (in golden orange) and zoom out to the left to make room for "PIONEER", and the whole thing turns periwinkle. We then fade into another screen which reads "presented by PIONEER ENTERTAINMENT (USA) L.P." (for North American releases) or "presented by {{Tt|PIONEER LDC|Pioneer LaserDisc Corporation}}, INC." (for Japanese releases).

*Variants with the logo colored gold and blue with white outlines have been used. The blue-colored variant has "The Art of Entertainment" below the logo.

*On Pioneer Special Editions Laserdiscs like ''Platoon'' and ''The Doors'', the words "Special Edition" appear in gold 3D lettering below the logo.

'''Visuals:''' On a space background with purple clouds, a large star, made of multicolored extrusions, flies towards the screen and off to the bottom right corner as a comet passes by. As this happens, the word "PIONEER" scrolls among the screen, along with an silver bar behind it being another word. When they both scroll offscreen, a flash happens, revealing the star-like object and it moves upwards, with the Pioneer logo appearing in the bottom left. "PIONEER" then returns, with "ARTISTS" being in the same font, both flying into place, along with "The Art of Entertainment". The star then produces a spotlight and reveals a spinning LaserDisc. The logo shines until the end and another comet flies through.

'''Visuals:''' On a white background, we see "Pioneer" in red fading in. The logo here is completely different, with no tuning fork/omega combination, and instead is in a more streamlined italicized futuristic font. We then fade into the same screen from the end of the last logo.

'''Visuals:''' On a black background, we see the text "Exclusively Distributed By" or "presented by" at the top of the screen, and "PIONEER ENTERTAINMENT" at the bottom.

'''Variant:''' In the "Distributed by" version, it has "(USA) L.P." next to the caption.

'''Visuals:''' On a black background, a silver "P" from the Pioneer logo from the time descends from the top left of the screen, in which it also flips to become a "s" as lines of the word "sound" come in. More letters and a single "sound" form briefly before changing to a shot of many "vision" words as well as a single one and the letter "v". The letters then shift to an "s" again, but with the word being "soul" as a silver, flipped Pioneer logo appears near the top right corner of the screen. The logo then suddenly shifts out of position and flips around as bands of the word "sound" reappear. The "P" then takes up the screen, with the logo then fading in on a silver background. Below it is the italic text "sound.vision.soul" in maroon.
