Omega Entertainment

Background: This company was started by Greek filmmaker/media mogul Nico Mastorakis.

1st Logo (1986-1989)

Omega Entertainment

Logo: On a black background, we see the text

OMEGA ENTERTAINMENT

"OMEGA" is written in a red 2D stylized font.

Variant: On some films, especially at the end of their works, "From" appears above the logo, and the copyright stamp is seen below it.

FX/SFX: None. This is a still logo.

Music/Sounds: A new age tune, music/background noise from the film, or no music/sounds at all.

Availability: Can be found on VHS copies of Nightmare at Noon, Ninja Academy, Bloodstone and Grandma's House (AKA: Grandmother's House), among others. On DVD releases of these films, it has been plastered over by the next logo, although it is retained during the closing credits of these films. It also appears on the British VHS releases of Once Again and Night Visitors. It is unknown if this appears on any international prints of Blood Nasty; Don't expect it to appear on the Greek VHS release.

Editor's Note: None.

2nd Logo (1990-2001)

Omega Entertainment (1980's)

Logo: On a black background, we see the text:

OMEGA ENTERTAINMENT

"OMEGA" is written in a pale blue 3D stylized font, with the "M" and "E" connected. The logo shines.

Variant: Same concept as the 1st logo's variant, "From" will appear above the logo and the copyright stamp is seen below.

FX/SFX: The "shine".

Music/Sounds: A quiet new age/synth tune, music/background noise from the film, or no music/sounds at all.

Availability: Seen on mainly trailers for films from this company, but is found on films like The Naked Truth, Hired to Kill and .com for Murder. This also plasters the first logo on DVD releases of films such as Ninja Academy, Bloodstone, Nightmare at Noon, and Glitch!, among others. This logo's first on-screen appearance was on In the Cold of the Night, though it's omitted from the Republic Pictures screener VHS for some reason. It does appear on the packaging for the Quest Entertainment VHS releases of Ninja Academy and Darkroom.

Editor's Note: None.

3rd Logo (As Omega DVD) (2000s)

Logo: The Omega logo moves through a green-tinted TV static that disappears and appears for 3 times. The logo appears again on the 4th time, which zooms out and returns to it's pale blue color from before, while some white lines move through the screen and wipe in the DVD logo, which flashes while shaking for a half second. The logo glows and shines in white/blue.

FX/SFX: The digital static, moving objects, glowing & shining.

Music/Sounds: Some digital static, followed by a quiet detuned synth melody (same as the second logo) and whooshing sounds.

Availability: Seen on DVDs of films from this company.

Editor's Note: None.
