Elebe

(1980s)


Logo: On a black background, two red lines open up to reveal a colored line that changes colors in background, from yellow, to green, then the line then twists over, while moving, while everything had to change colors several times, while turning it into a tunnel that swirls all over to the background, before zooming out in an iris effect. Then once the logo ends, it cuts to a segmented green TV tube, with the script word "Elebe" on it. Then, it cuts to the word "PRESENTA" in yellow.

Variant: On early tapes, the "PRESENTA" screen is black on an orange background.

Technique: The twisting of the logo.

Music/Sounds: An orchestral fanfare, which is actually an excerpt of the Prelude from Carmen by Georges Bizet, recorded by André Kostelanetz.

Availability: Seen on all Elebe releases from the era.
