<u>Logo:</u> On a black background, we start with a rather off-round sphere - the sphere dissolves one by one to reveal a yellow rectangle. The rectangle gives way to form the words "PRISM" in yellow, then "LEISURE" in grey and "VIDEO" in white fade in afterwards. | |||
<u>FX/SFX:</u> The sphere dissolving, the unfolding of PRISM, and the fading. | |||
<u>Music/Sounds:</u> Despite having full animation, the logo is silent | |||
<u>Availability:</u> Seen on Prism Leisure tapes from the time. | |||

<u>Editor's Note:</u> The animation is much better than the previous logo and the piano theme is relaxing, but it can scare some due to its darkness and loud synths (although the sparkles do provide feelings of tranquility). | <u>Editor's Note:</u> The animation is much better than the previous logo and the piano theme is relaxing, but it can scare some due to its darkness and loud synths (although the sparkles do provide feelings of tranquility). | ||

<u>Variant:</u> For every 2 in 1 video release from the company, the logo plays as normal - then the logo brings forth a a title card which reads '''"PRESENTS 2 GREAT MOVIES ON 1 FANTASTIC VIDEO"''' The logo also reuses part of the 1st logo, this time in its normal tone.

<u>Editor's Note:</u> Barely any effort was made into this logo - the logo looks like it is done in about 30 minutes. | |||

<u>Logo:</u> On a space background, an explosion that brings forth a spinning prism occurs. The letters of "PRISM", in shiny silver, fly out one-by-one as "LEISURE", also curved and in silver, zooms out underneath "PRISM". A spark then draws a rainbow around the prism that is cut off by the text. The words "CORPORATION, PLC." shoot out at the bottom of the logo, and the prism stops spinning at this point, thus creating an updated version of the 4th logo. | |||
