Intercom

Background
Since its foundation in 1989, InterCom has not only established itself as the largest film, video and DVD distributor and cinema exhibitor in Hungary, but much, much more: it has grown to be the flagship of visual entertainment in the country, a market-leading innovator of the movie business, pioneering modern film and video distribution in the Hungarian market. The company also intends to become the driving force behind the boom of 21st Century in new generation cinemas and was the first to introduce multiplex theaters to Hungarian audiences, being one of the most successful multiplex operators to date.

1st Logo (1990-1991)
Logo: We start out zooming around a starfield in circles. Then an explosion occurs, sending meteorites and triangular glass shards in flight, and the Intercom logo, a blue/purple round-edged rectangle like Nintendo with green streaked triangles at the top and bottom spins around toward us, while the nebular wisps fly around.

Technique: CGI animation.

Music/Sounds: A synth choir/drum tune.

Availability: Very rare; it was seen on movies of 20th Century Fox, Warner Bros, and Sony, among others, like Terminator 2: Judgement Day.

2nd Logo (1991-1993)
Logo: On a quaked earth crust, while light can be seen shining, parts of the quake are flying. Then we see the Intercom logo passing through, sending those crust parts in the air. Then the camera pans to see the logo frontally on a space background.

Technique: CGI animation.

Music/Sounds: A shortened version of the 1st logo's jingle.

Availability: See the previous logo.

3rd Logo (1993-1997)
Logo: On a spatial background we see the intercom logo in silver, flying in. Then, a spark hits the logo, which shines and gets colored like before.

Technique: CGI animation.

Music/Sounds: A new age fanfare.

Availability: Should be more common than the others.

4th logo (1997-2005)
Logo: We see the letters of the intercom logo fly in. Then the oval of the logo puts itself in place. At the end lightning fly in, forming the whole intercom logo.

Technique: Advanced CGI animation.

Music/Sounds: A rearranged version of the previous jingle's first notes with tubular bells and whooshes.

Music/Sounds Variants:
 * On the Hungarian VHS of Toy Story 2, the music in the logo is played in a fast pace.
 * VHS releases have a slower version of the tune, that changes key when the flash appears.
 * An orchestrated rearranged variant was found, and is only seen in cinemas.

Availability: Can be seen on tapes and DVDs of Disney movies at the time. Additionally, this was seen in cinemas.
