2nd Logo (1982-1989)
Visuals: The sequence starts with an animated shot of a skyscraper-filled city. The screen then pans left to reveal a field, trees, and mountains. As the screen zooms up to the sky, there is an orange sun as a flock of birds in a line fashion fly over the sun. The entire screen then turns white as the black words "PICTURE MUSIC INTERNATIONAL" in a black serif font appear. The birds appear superimposed over the words.
Variant: One version featured the end product with the company text fading in below.
Technique: Traditional animation.

Six vertical bars and five horizontal ones are drawn in and give way to the set of letters formed earlier in the logo this time in solid blue. A blue bird flies in from the bottom left corner of the screen and dots the "I", "PICTURE MUSIC" in white in a blue rectangle fades in beneath the logo and "INTERNATIONAL" also in white in a blue rectangle fades in beneath the other blue rectangle.
