2nd Logo (1984?-1986)

Visuals: The words "PRONT-VIDEO" in red with white/azure outlines is contained inside of a fuzzy gray opal on a red background. Seconds later, the opal wipes out with a counterclockwise transition, with "zeigt:" in azure with a white shadow appears shortly after the previous action. It stays before it and the background fades a few seconds later.

Technique: Computer animation.

Audio: A drum-infusing section with wobbling synths and guitar string drops ending with a dramatic 7-note trumpet fanfare. The theme appears to be stock, as it was also heard in a news intro.
