Logo 1(1994-1995)

Logo: We see the company name spinning around only to slow down until it goes into a full stop. "Presents" gets shown underneath the company name. The logo then explodes.

FX/SFX: The company name spinning, "presents" fading in, & the logo exploding into cubes. Impressive CGI for the time.

Logo 2(1995-1998)

Logo: We see an orange cone falling to the ground until the spiky side of the cone brakes through the ground. The cone keeps on going into the ground until reaching a lava pit only to go inside the lava. We then move away to see the company name with the word Entertainment inside a red rectangle. The company name then implodes into nothingness, & the logo fades to black with presents zooming out from behind us.

FX/SFX: Great CGI for its time with some great use of scanimation for some neat special effects on the textures.

Music/Sounds: An electronic tune plays in the background with the cone having a cartoony falling sound effect until it starts digging which it starts making a driller nose. A drowning noise plays when the cone gets sinked into the lava. The logo implodes with a cartoony slip sound. Presents appears with a whoosh sound.

Logo 3(1998-2000)

Logo: We see a green crystal flying across the screen in a way rainbow line background only to them zoom in to us. It then opens up to reveal the company name inside it. The company name then escapes out of the crystal, & the crystal gets hit by a train. The company name then zooms out on top of the train until the train is off-screen. Once it's of screen, the logo then goes deeper down until it's just 3 inches above the train tracks. The background then fades to a blue background, & presents appears in a shine.

FX/SFX: Just about everything, & in great CGI!

Logo 4(2000-2001)

Logo: We see a blue octogan fly around the screen only to bump into the background, & brake itself open to reveal the company name. The company name then explodes to reveal the word, presents & the logo finally fades to black.

FX/SFX: Practically everything with again some great CGI.

FX/SFX variant: On the DVD release of Paper Bullets: Gangs Inc., the octogan is instead red, & the logo fades to black faster. The VHS release on the other hand fades to black much slower, & the octogan is orange, & instead gets sliced off by a knife.
