Panarecord
Background
Panarecord is an Italian record label founded in 1976 which also produced videocassettes to 1985 until 1999. The company is still alive since now.
1st logo (1985-1988)
Note: This includes the warning screen!
Logo: On a black background, we see a thick gold ring slides quickly from the top-right, and an obtuse triangle quickly slides from the bottom-left, making a complete logo supposed to look like a record with a pointy stylus (which looks like a backwards Q). The golden filmstrip with the word "PANARECORD" appears after the two shapes slides. As the logo zooms out, the following text in white scrolls up underneath it:

videocassetta ha ceduto i diritti

Qualsiasi altro uso diverso dalla

la trasmissione televisiva,

Music/Sounds: None.
Availability: Likely seen on Italian videocassettes from the time.
2nd logo (1988-1999)
Note: This includes the warning screen!
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 following text scrolling up:

Technique: 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: Same as before.
Legacy: While this logo doesn't have much in regards to animation, it does have an extremely catchy musical theme.
