1st Logo (1994-1996)
Logo : On a black background, we see what appears to be a green circular box on the right side, with on the left side of the box, we see a green sphere with red and black borders. Surrounding it was a circular white line, which almost looks like Saturn, with a green sphere orbiting on the right side. next to it was the white words "PNe", and below it was "VIDEO" in spaced out letters.

FX/SFX : None.

Music/Sounds : None.

Availability : Seen on earlier PNE Video releases from the era.

2nd Logo (1996-1998)
Logo : On a black background, a spinning green ball in a red and black hoop appears. Around it is a white ring with a smaller green ball "orbiting" the larger one. The ball moves away from the camera and towards a lit point on the screen. The word "video" in white is written next to the point. When the ball completely covers the light, the letters "PNe" in a metallic color scheme appear above the word "video". The part of the screen representing the logo then turns green, the ball stops spinning, and the scene fades out.

FX/SFX : The ball spinning and moving around, the letters appearing.

Music/Sounds : Same as the previous logo.

Availability : Rare. Seen on comedy videos released by the company in the second part of the 1990's.

Editor's Note : None.
