1st Logo
(1969-1976) 
Nickname: "Psychedelic Rainbow"
Logo: We see a screen with many blacked out words and sections, save for some spaces which are already colored light blue. Then various parts of the background are filled in with greens, oranges, and reds until you have a psychedelic-like background. Then you can make out the words:
All are in a weird font, and get filled in one by one in this order: Line 3 is colored pink, 1 red for "SID" and blue for "&", 2 Purple, 4 blue, and 5 blue-violet with pink on the 3-D part.
FX: Things being filled in.
Cheesy Factor: The quality of the drawing is low.
Music/Sounds: There are three main music variants used on this logo:
Availability: Rare; it was last seen on TV when TV Land reran Krofft shows in 2004. On the other hand, the DVDs of H.R. Pufnstuf and The Land of the Lost retain the logos.
Scare Factor: Depending on the logo variant:
2nd Logo
(1976-1992) 
Nicknames: "Golden Shining Glass", "Psychedelic Constellation"
Logo: On a zooming space background, the shining glass text:
stacked upon each other turns 90 degrees to the right so it faces the screen.
Variant: On the 1991-1992 Land of the Lost remake, some copyright info is chyroned in below the logo, which also appeared to have been kinescoped on this version, as the logo originated on tape.
FX: The glass text turning, the zooming space background.
Cheesy Factor: Despite very obvious Chromakey effects (with the layered on video sparkle on the model), a very good shot on video logo for 1976.
Music/Sounds: A creepy amplified electric piano stinger.
Availability: Rare; seen on late period Krofft shows like the 1991-1992 Land of the Lost remake. This could also be seen on Electra Woman and Dyna Girl.
Scare Factor: Medium to high; the creepy music and the darkness may scare more than a few unexpected viewers.

Cheesy Factor: The quality of the drawing is low.
Music/Sounds: There are three main music variants used on this logo:
- 1969-1970: A twiddling flute, which ends with a trumpet, pretty much fits with the logo.
- 1970-1971: Two sets of four ascending synthesized chimes, the second one is much faster. In the background are "glug-glug-glug" sounds. Is similar to the music used for the first Viacom logo ("V-IA-COM").
- 1971-1976: Same as before, except with different notes.
- In later years, it was replaced with the closing theme of the show.
Availability: Rare; it was last seen on TV when TV Land reran Krofft shows in 2004. On the other hand, the DVDs of H.R. Pufnstuf and The Land of the Lost retain the logos.
Scare Factor: Depending on the logo variant:
- 1969-1970: Low.
- 1970-1971/1971-1976: Low to medium; the fast paced animation and weird music might get to some.
- None to low for the later variant with the closing theme.
