'''Nicknames:''' "Psychedelic Rainbow", "The H.R. Pufnstuf Logo"


Logo: We see a screen with many blacked out words and sections, save for some spaces which are already colored light blue. Then various parts of the background are filled in with greens, oranges, and reds until you have a psychedelic-like background. Then you can make out the words "SID & MARTY KROFFT TELEVISION PRODUCTIONS" stacked on top of each other. All are in a disjointed sans font with tendrils coming off of "KROFFT" and "PRODUCTIONS" have a "3D" look to it, and get filled in one by one in this order: line 3 is colored pink, 1 red for "SID" and blue for "&", 2 Purple, 4 blue, and 5 blue-violet with pink on the 3-D part.

'''Music/Sounds:''' There are three main music variants used on this logo:
*1969-1970: A twiddling saxophone/xylophone theme ending in a dramatic jazz stinger. In at least a couple of ''H.R. Pufnstuf'' episodes, the sound of canned applause and cheering can be heard under the music (carried over from the end of the closing credits.)

*1970-1971: A series of "glug-glug-glug" sounds with 2 sets of 4 ascending synthesized chimes; the second one is much faster. Is similar to the music used in the Viacom "Pinball" logo.

'''Nicknames:''' "Psychedelic Rainbow II", "Rainbow Remake"


Nickname: "Golden Shining Glass"
'''Logo:''' Same as the 1st logo, but the text now reads "SID & MARTY KROFFT PICTURES" in the same font as the 1st logo, with "PICTURES" styled after "PRODUCTIONS". This also create a uneven floor as well. The colors are slightly rearranged and are also far more saturated, with the light green replaced with yellow, "PICTURES" being in yellow/pink, and the "O" in the hot pink "KROFFT" now yellow as well.


Logo: On a zooming space background, we see a gold-tinted glass block with "ENTERTAINMENT" embossed on the front, and "KROFFT" in a Helvetica font stacked on top of it. The logo starts off zoomed back and rotated to the right slightly, showing some pink lighting on the left, but it then zooms in and rotates into position while giving off a quick glimmer of light.
'''Variants:'''
* On 2009's ''Land of the Lost'', the logo is in a box in the center of the screen, on a black background. The colors are also less saturated.
* Starting with ''Mutt and Stuff'', the logo is animated like the first logo, but closer to the screen. It also uses the revamped colors.


Variants:
'''FX/SFX:''' None, but same as the 1st logo later on.
* There are filmed and videotaped variants of this logo. The videotaped variant has brighter colors, while the filmed is darker.
* On the 1991 version of ''Land of the Lost'', a copyright stamp is chyroned-in below the logo, which also it's again filmed on this version, as the logo originated on tape.


FX/SFX: The glass text turning, the zooming space background. Very good live-action modeling.
'''Music/Sounds:'''
* For the original version, same as the 1984 music variant of the first logo.
* On ''Land of the Lost'', it's silent.
* On ''Mutt and Stuff'' and the 2016 reboot film of ''Electra Woman and Dyna Girl'', it's the 1969 music variant of the first logo.


Music/Sounds: A series of faint laser zaps with a dreamy electric piano stinger.
'''Availability:''' Current, but may be rarer with older shows with this logo. Originally appeared on early episodes of ''D.C. Follies'', and might have been preserved on Hulu. It was revived in 2009 for the film ''Land of the Lost'', again in 2015 for Nick Jr.'s ''Mutt and Stuff'', appearing on their current content.


Availability: Rare. Seen on late-period Krofft shows like 1991's ''Land of the Lost'', ''Pink Lady and Jeff'', ''Best of Barbara Mandrell & the Mandrell Sisters Show'' and ''Electra Woman & Dyna Girl''.
'''Editor's Note:''' None.

'''Nicknames:''' "The Weird Vortex", "Psychedelic O"


'''Logo:''' We see a golden O spin out into the center of the screen. As it reaches the center, a psychedelic vortex explodes out from behind it and engulfs the background. The letters K, R, F, F, and T quickly fly around the O, creating the word "KROFFT" in its classic weird font. The rest of the logo then joins it, "SID & MARTY" from the top in teal/green/red, and "PICTURES" from the bottom in orange.
