'''Nickname:''' "Golden Shining Glass" | |||
'''Logo:''' On a zooming space background, we see a {{color|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 {{color|pink}} lighting on the left, but it then zooms in and rotates into position while giving off a quick glimmer of light. | |||
'''Variants:''' | |||
*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 is also 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:''' A series of faint laser zaps with a dreamy electric piano stinger. | |||
'''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. | |||
