Crown Video (Sweden)

(1980's)

Logo: Against a black background, a blue, double-layered octagonal frame zooms out. Then, an abstract, three-pointed gold crown fades in the center. The two points at the edge "shine".

Variant: A version exists in which the words

TOWER VISION FILM AB

zoom out above the crown, with the top-right part of the "T" extended over the rest of the letters. The crown is smaller in order to accomodate this.

FX: The zooming and fading effects, which don't look too bad compared to other Scandinavian logos of the period...

Cheesy Factor: ...but the crown and text are rather poorly chyroned in.

Music/Sounds: A dramatic synth bass with a weird distorted screech at the end.

Availability: Seen on old Scandinavian tapes at the time, I suppose.

Scare Factor: Minimal to low due to the synth music, especially the screeching!
