1st Logo (1989-1992)

Logo: On a moving starfield background, a blue asteroid flies in and travels to the center, causing it to explode and reveal a bunch of golden letters. The letters fly around until they form the word "MAGNUM", and zooms in for a short period of time once the formation is complete. The word "PRESENTATION" soon stretches in below the "MAGNUM" afterwards.
Technique: Early CGI animation.
Music/Sounds: A slow techno-like fanfare.
Availability: Near extinction.
2nd Logo (1992-1993)
Logo: We first see a symmetrical rainbow pattern background where we see a bunch of particles coming towards us and travelling towards all directions. After a few seconds, A giant letter "M" with the text "VIDEO" in a thin font beneath its blue shadows zooms outwards from the viewer for a short period of time against a moving yellow-black gradient background and stays on-screen for a period of time. It then zooms away from us, as the same text described above but red and striped with "VIDEO" beneath the text, along with "Presents" in white appears and on-screen for a while.
Technique: Scanimation.
Music/Sounds: A funky synth tune.
Availability: Near extinction.
