'''Logo:''' 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.

'''Technique:''' The 3D animation of the text and logo. Compared to the original short version, this seems quite choppy.

'''Music/Sounds:''' A bump is heard at first, leading into a 4-note guitar theme. A female voice says the words as they come across the screen and xylophones fill the ambiance. As the Pioneer logo flips into place, a piano tune is heard before a whoosh happens. The same 4-note guitar theme plays again before ending with a man saying "Pioneer."
