Surrounding it was a circular white line, which almost looks like Saturn, with a green sphere orbiting on the right side. next to it was the white words "PNe", and below it was "VIDEO" in spaced out letters.
'''Technique:''' None.

'''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.
'''Technique:''' 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.

'''Logo:''' On a moving {{color|darkviolet|purple}} background, we see a circular light moving from the logo. Then we see what appears to be a shape of a cube with words cote-out: "'''P'''" on the left side, "'''T'''" on the right side, and "'''VIDEO'''" on the bottom right of the cube. The logo brightens, as the cube turns {{color|blue}} with {{color|pink}} and {{color|green}} hues, which then glows brighter. The byline "A Division of Pearson Television International Ltd" fades in below the cube.
