1st Logo (1994-1996)

Visuals: Over a black background is what appears to be a green circular box on the right side, with the left side of the box occupied by a green sphere with red and black borders. Surrounding it is a circular white line, which almost makes it look like Saturn, with a green sphere orbiting on the right side. Next to it is the white word "PNe", and below it is "VIDEO" in spaced out letters.

Technique: A still graphic.

Audio: None.

Availability: Seen on earlier PNE Video releases from the era.^[Examples?]

2nd Logo (1996-1998)

Visuals: 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.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: None.

Availability:

Seen on comedy videos released by the company from the time-period until 1998.
It is also seen on the 1998 UK VHS release of Boring Boring Arsenal.
