Paris Video Home

(Mid 80s)
Nicknames: "French Logo In Argentina", "Cheesy Eiffel Tower"

Logo: On a black background, we see a model of the Earth with red continents and blue oceans is seen spinning around. After a couple of seconds, a white outline of the Eiffel Tower wipes in and eases to the left center of the screen. The background becomes lavender as an outlined model of a globe with longitude lines, the poles marked by 2 circles, and a large space in the middle wipes in beside the tower. Inside it, "PARIS" appears in the space one by one. Below it, "VIDEO HOME", curved to match the bottom appears below. It then disappears and "PARIS" wipes away as "PRESENTA", in a odd font, fades in where "PARIS" was. It then fades out, leaving the tower and globe for one more second before fading out.

FX/SFX: The spinning globe, the tower wiping and easing, the words appearing and disappearing.

Music/Sounds: An synth drone is heard at the beginning. Then, there is 5-note synth tune heard when the tower eases in. Some kind of generic French cello music is then heard when the words appear. Finally, a different 5-note synth tune is heard.
