1st (known) Logo:
(1980's)
Nickname: "The Pack-In-Video Circle"
Logo: On a black background, a circle spins in from the center of the logo. It's blue, green, and red with a white emblem resembling a stylized P. When it settles down in the middle of the screen, the silver words "PACK-IN" and "VIDEO" crawl from the top right and bottom left of the screen (respectively) and settle down above and below the circle.
FX/SFX: The circle spinning in and the words crawling. Limited animation.
Music/Sounds: None.
Availability: Rare. Appears on some Japanese VHS tapes, including Mutant Hunt and Vicious Lips.
2nd Logo
(1980s?-1990s?)

Nickname: "The Glass Prism"
Logo: On a light blue background, three pieces of metal (one red, one green, and one blue) rotate in a glass prism that is above water, while two glass sheets with the words "PACK-IN" and "VIDEO" etched in them rotate around the prism. The three pieces of metal settle down, making the Pack-In Video emblem (the circle described in the previous logo), and the water below ripples. Then, the glass sheets move up in front of the prism, causing a ripple effect, which becomes water, and the glass sheets settle down in the middle. The finished logo ripples and shines a bit.
FX/SFX: Everything; the CGI is excellent for the time period.
Music/Sounds: A calming, dreamy synth tune.
Availability: Uncommon. Appears on many Japanese VHS tapes from the label spanning many genres, including Freakshow (1989).
