'''Logo:''' We see a gray background fade in. It then changes to white, as multiple copies of the '''NHKビデオ''' text in {{color|blue}}, {{color|red}} and {{color|green}}, in a large grid appear. The grid shrinks diagonally to the top-left as the colors pass through the moving copies of the logo. The grid stops shrinking after it settles to a 3x3 format. Then the {{color|red|'''NHKビデオ'''}} text in red trails into the center from the above red copy, as the grid fades out. The colors then wipe in from {{color|green}} to {{color|blue}}, and back to {{color|red}}. |

'''Logo:''' Over a black/{{color|blue}} gradient background, a {{color|green}} apple and a rotating, tilted square are shown spinning. Mirror pieces come out from the sides and form a prism around the items. The text "'''''NHKビデオ'''''" comes out zooming from the top of the screen, with the dot sections of the Japanese text in {{color|green}}. Once the whole logo is settled, the prism containing the apple changes into a plain gray triangle design. |

'''Logo:''' We see a black background. An {{color|orange}} sphere containing floating particles fades in, with the particles moving upwards with a mirror-like vertical effect shown on the lower half; other darker particles are also shown at the sides. The particles move away as a trail of {{color|red}} smoke emerges moving from the left. The smoke reveals an infinity-like symbol that's warped on the right side and tilted a bit on the left. {{color|Red}} dust appears in the center and the shiny text "'''''NHKビデオ'''''" in a bronze color flips in. The same goes at the bottom as "'''''NHK''''' ''SOFTWARE,INC.''" appears. |

'''Logo:''' Three lights emerge on a black background, and turn into spotlights respectively initially in the colors {{color|orange}}, {{color|blue}} and {{color|green}}. These move around as the hue of the colors change. The spotlights grow larger until these pan into the center, turning into the NHK "eggs" logo design. The spotlights are seen facing the screen as the light rays move around. The background changes to white, as the logo flashes into the NHK eggs logo, with the {{color|red}} text and the rainbow outline. The logo pans up as the rounded "'''''ビデオ'''''" appears below it. Below is also the {{color|red}} symbol from the 2nd logo, with the text "'''''NHK SOFTWARE, INC.'''''" next to it. |

'''Logo:''' We see a blue sky with clouds. Three cut-outs of the NHK eggs logo fly in, containing multiple video footages. One includes people crossing the street, another one features a shot of the Egyptian desert and pyramids with two camel riders, and another has a blossoming flower. Then the NHK logo, with a {{color|gray}} outline, white fill and {{color|red}} text flies in with the black "'''''DVD'''''" tied by several strings shown below the logo. The footage changes to a shot of the ocean,a shot of plants and trees and multiple black ducks passing by. The logo flies to the center while the background turns white, a shadow is also briefly seen behind. |

'''Logo:''' Over a changing, multicolored background, light rays emerge from the center and pass through. The Japanese characters "'''''ビデオ'''''" appear spinning out as the NHK logo fades in behind the light, along with a line below. The light dims out revealing the logo while the Japanese text and line turn black. The logo zooms in slightly. |

'''Logo:''' On a white background, a logo consisting of the "'''''NHK'''''" text with an oval reading "VIDEO" below is revealed by a {{color|green}}/{{color|turquoise}} gradient trail extending to the bottom-right.

Logo: We see a gray background fade in. It then changes to white, as multiple copies of the NHKビデオ text in blue, red and green, in a large grid appear. The grid shrinks diagonally to the top-left as the colors pass through the moving copies of the logo. The grid stops shrinking after it settles to a 3x3 format. Then the NHKビデオ text in red trails into the center from the above red copy, as the grid fades out. The colors then wipe in from green to blue, and back to red.
