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/SFX: The words being filled in.
Cheesy Factor: The quality of the drawing is low.
Music/Sounds: There are three main music variants used on this logo:
Scare Factor: Depending on the logo variant:
Krofft Entertainment
1st Logo
(1976-1992) 
Nicknames: "Golden Shining Glass", "Psychedelic Constellation", "Evil 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.
Variants:
FX/SFX: The glass text turning, the zooming space background.
Cheesy Factor: Despite very obvious Chromakey effects (with the layered on video sparkle on the model), this a very good shot on video logo for 1976.
Music/Sounds: A creepy amplified electric piano stinger.
Availability: Rare; it was used for a total of 16 devastating years. Seen on late period Krofft shows like the 1991-1992 Land of the Lost remake. On the other hand, the DVD's of Pink Lady and Jeff & Best of Barbara Mandrell & the Mandrell Sisters Show retain the logo. This could also be seen on Electra Woman and Dyna Girl.
Scare Factor: Medium to high; the creepy music, the realistic glass text moving, and the darkness may scare more than a few unexpected viewers, but this logo is not as scary as the Klasky Csupo's SSF or DiC's 1987 version of the Kid in Bed (including the terrible TM Bug choir variant).

1st Logo
(1987-) 
Nickname: "Psychedelic Rainbow", "Rainbow Remake"
Logo: A still version of the same Krofft logo design from 1969 is seen, but with some differences:
FX/SFX: None, it's an still logo.
Cheesy Factor: The quality of the drawing is low.
Music/Sounds: A electronic re-arrange of the 1969-1970 jingle theme, making it more dramatic.
Availability: Rare; it was seen on TV when DC Follies was on air. Made a surprising appearance on the 2009 movie Land of the Lost.
Scare Factor: Medium. The brightness of this logo combined with the music may scare some people.
2nd logo
(1988-1989)
Nickname: "The Weird Vortex", "Psychedelic O"
TBA!

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
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.

Variants:
- There are filmed and videotaped variants of this logo. The videotaped variant has brighter colors, while the filmed is darker.
- 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.

I don't think that's from the 1980's. It looks more recent to me.

After the end of the new "Land Of The Lost" movie, there was a still photo looking the same as it did in 1969.
