Background[]
TBA.
1st Logo (1963-1969)[]
Nickname: "The Outlined Pyramid".
Logo: On the black background, we see a outlined pyramid spinning slowly. The words "Pr", "is", "ma", and "tic" appear two-by-two, and "ENTERTAINMENT" zooms out and stops below the words.
Early Variant: On the black background, we see a 2D pyramid zooming in rapidly, then cuts to the words "PRISMATIC ENTERTAINMENT PRESENTS" on the black background.
FX/SFX: 3D model for the pyramid, and 2D animation for the words.
Music/Sounds: A loud dramatic fanfare with a loud vibration of muted trumpet at the start and a 5-note arpeggio at the end.
Music/Sounds Variant: The early variant has 1 orchestral hits, followed by a 3-note shrill noise for 2 seconds, then a 2-note arpeggio fanfare that abruptly ends.
Scare Factor: Medium. The loud fanfare and the vibration at the start can startle some. The darkness can raise the scare factor. Low to nightmare for the early variant, the brightness of the logo, the music, the in-your-face animation of the pyramid can scare some.
2nd Logo (1969-1972)[]
Nicknames: "The Rainbow Pyramid", "The Colorful Pyramid".
Logo: On the black background, a flash of rainbow light occurs, revealing a pyramid changing colors, glowing as usual. The word "Prismatic Entertainment presents..." fades in.
FX/SFX: TBA.
Music/Sounds: A emphasized version from the 1st logo's music.
Scare Factor: Low. The flash appearing can startle some but it's tamer than the 1st logo's early variant. The emphasized version of the 1st logo's music might surprise some.
3rd Logo (1972-1985)[]
Nickname: "The Prism".
Logo: On the white background, we see a 2D model of a prism. The word "Prismatic ENTERTAINMENT" waves and slides to the middle on the prism's rainbow. It then flips out of the prism's rainbow and zooms in and stops when it gets closer to the screen.
FX/SFX: Choppy 2D animation.
Music/Sounds: A quiet, arpeggio fanfare.
Scare Factor: Low.
4th Logo (1985-1993)[]
Logo: On the black background, we see just the word "Prismatic E N T E R T A I N M E NT" with multiple copies of rainbow lights moving slowly in a 40% opacity effect on the black background.
Variants:
- There's a warped version of the logo.
- A sped-up version exists.
- There's an alternative version of the logo where the word are on the glittering background excluding the rainbow lights.
- The background sometimes changes its colors.
- The logo might be red-tinted.
FX/SFX: The only movement is the rainbow lights.
Music/Sounds:
- 1985: A loud dramatic brass fanfare with bell tolls.
- 1988: A UFO warbling tune with an fast ascending UFO sound at the start.
Music/Sounds Variants:
- The warped version has the fanfare being distorted and loud.
- The sped-up version has the fanfare being faster.
- On the alternative version, a loud, dramatic phaser noise.
- The red-tinted version has the fanfare being more slower and descends a bit.
Scare Factor:
- 1985 version: Low to nightmare. The loud fanfare can scare some.
- 1988 version: Medium to nightmare. The UFO tune kind of sounds creepy, and can scare viewers who weren't expecting the tune.
- Warped Version: High to nightmare. The fanfare sounds even scarier this time, along with the logo jittering and changing brightness, which is scary.
- Sped-up version: Low to nightmare, bordering on high. The fanfare seems faster which could scare some but it's tamer than those variants but it's DEFINITELY NOTHING compared what it follows...
- Red-tinted version: Nightmare. The creepy and slow-paced fanfare along with the red tint can unnerve some. The red tint can make an eyesore to some.
- Alternative Version: Medium to nightmare. The phaser noise along with the darkness can scare someone out.
5th Logo (1993-2000)[]
Nicknames: "The Globe", "The Spinning Globe".
Logo:
- 1993 version: On the space background, we see a globe spinning slowly for 5 seconds, then dissolves and forms the word "
PRISMATIC E N T E R T A I N M E N T". The byline "A Prism Company" fades in below. - 1995 version: The screen fades to a space background with the stars moving at a medium speed, then the words "PRISM" in the left and "ATIC" in the right appears connecting together, followed by a flash of light, revealing "Entertainment" below.
FX/SFX: CGI for the 1993 version, and 2D animation for the 1995 version.
Music/Sounds:
- 1993 version: A dark space ambient. When the globe dissolves, a whooshing noise is heard that segues to booming whoosh sounds when it stops. A loud but very low-pitched "DING!" sound when the byline appears.
- 1995 version: A synth note rising, followed by a loud but quiet whoosh when the words connect together. When the flash of light appears, a short booming whoosh that segues to a space ambient tune.
Scare Factor:
- 1993 version: Medium to high. The sounds and the cheesy animation can catch you off-guard. However, it's lower for those who are used to it.
- 1995 version: Low to medium. The animation and the sounds might scare some, but it's tamer than the 1993 version.
6th Logo (2000-present)[]
Logo: Superimposed on the credits, we see the word "Made by Prismatic Entertainment".
FX/SFX: None.
Music/Sounds: The closing theme of the show.
Scare Factor: None.
