'''Logo:''' On a black background, a spinning green ball in a red and black hoop appears. Around it is a white ring with a smaller green ball "orbiting" the larger one. The ball moves away from the camera and towards a lit point on the screen. The word "video" in white is written next to the point. When the ball completely covers the light, the letters "PNe" in a metallic color scheme appear above the word "video". The part of the screen representing the logo then turns green, the ball stops spinning, and the scene fades out.
'''FX/SFX:''' The ball spinning and moving around, the letters appearing.
'''Music/Sounds:''' Silent.
'''Availability:''' Rare. Seen on comedy videos released by the company in the second part of the 1990's.
