DMS Video

(1989-1991)
Nicknames: "Amiga on a Budget" "Ian Pearson and Gavin Blair Have Risen Again"

Logo: On a red 3D plain with a blue sky and grey pillars on each side, there is a VHS with a grid-textured triangle flying through black skyscrapers and a VCR at the end. The VHS heads into the VCR, which has "DMS" in a Pac-Man font and "LIMITED" in a spaced out font. The triangle then casts a shadow.

FX/SFX: Primitive CGI.

Music/Sounds: A rising synth tom-tom sound and a 3-note synth fanfare with bass backing plays. When the triangle casts a shadow, we hear the gong sound followed by a twinkling sound afterwards.

Music/Sounds Variant: At the end of most VHS titles, the twinkling sound heard at the end of the logo holds on for a few more seconds before fading out completely.

Availability: Very rare. This can be found on all Professor Playtime & Rat-A-Tat-Tat tapes from the company

Legacy: The animation is extremely choppy and very primitive, even for the time.
