2nd Logo (1985-1999)

Visuals: There is some quick flashes as the stars fly out with green lines, then the golden-yellow letter "V" with two straight lines each on top appears, placing on the center on a dark blue background. The green star flashes on the "V", and the lines extend as the words "DAIEI" and "IDEO" appear to make a complete word "DAIEIVIDEO". They shine.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: A synth fanfare.

Availability: Seen on Japanese VHS, VHD and Laserdisc tapes from this company, such as Gamera, Guardian of the Universe.

3rd Logo (1999-2003)
