Logo: On a black background, we see a trail of various words in various colors saying "Pyramid Films". Before they complete, a pyramid that has lines at the right fades in.
FX/SFX: The trail, the pyramid fading in. Primitive trailing effects, even for the time.
Music/Sounds: None.
Availability: Seen on some educational films and documentaries from the time, such as Vicious Cycles.
Editor's Note: The black background and trail effects may get to some, not to mention it's silent.

"PYRAMID" is below in a white font, and everything is against a black background with a blue haze below.
Variant: On the company's website, the background turns fully black and the logo turns flat once the laser leaves.
Trivia: A frame of this logo was once used as the artwork to the vaporwave album Holograms by Skeleton. Current issues of the album use a different cover.

Trivia: A frame of this logo was once used as the artwork to the vaporwave album Holograms by Skeleton. Current issues of the album use a different cover.
FX/SFX: The prism and the laser. Very impressive animation for the time; this is one of the earliest computer-animated logos, done by Information International, Inc.
Music/Sounds: A dreamy synthesized string theme.
Availability: Common. Can be seen on short films and educational films distributed by the company, most notably Powers of Ten. Some can even be viewed on their website.
Editor's Note: While somewhat dated by today's standards, this logo is insanely advanced for the time period and is still very nicely-animated. The music used is also incredibly gorgeous as well.
