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

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.

Technique: The zooming and fading effects.

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

Availability: Seen on old Swedish tapes at the time.

Legacy: Despite the rather poorly chyroned in crown and text and strange music, the logo isn't too bad compared to other Scandinavian logos of the period.
