Logo: On a black background, we see a thick gold ring with an obtuse triangle on the bottom-left, supposed to look like a record with a pointy stylus (which looks like a backwards Q) zooming up. When it stops zooming, a bar of light draws a golden filmstrip while inside the words "PANARECORD" gets drawn, and after 3 seconds the logo shines. The logo then becomes a 3D silhouette as the standard Italian warning text scrolls up.

FX/SFX: The logo zooming in slowly, the logo shining once after it finishes zooming.

Music/Sounds: A synthpop tune. After 54 seconds, the theme loops before fading out shortly after.

Availability: Likely seen on Italian videocassettes from the time.

Editor's Note: While this logo doesn't have much in regards to animation, it does have an extremely catchy musical theme.
