1st Logo (December 1, 1994-June 18, 2002)

Logo: On a space background, a white box with a light purple shade spins out. The zoom-out stops on the top of the screen, revealing a blue "P" surrounded by lines and circles, and the words "PROTOCOL ENTERTAINMENT" zoom in at the bottom of the screen, in gray. Then the company name shines as a star rises up from below to above.

Technique: The box zoom out, the company name zooming in.

Audio: The ending theme of the show.
