King-Movie Productions BV

(1980s?)
Nicknames: "Big Marquee"

Logo: On a black screen, a sparkling light kicks off a countdown (in rainbow numbers which are scattered all over) from 10, which stops at 3. Then, a yellow neon outline of a circle shines at the top of the screen, forming two lines (//) inside. From there a multicolored outline of a neon marquee draws itself onto the screen, with the words KING-MOVIE PRODUCTIONS BV. THE NETHERLANDS

fading in along with it. The marquee shines for about 8 more seconds before abruptly cutting to a woman who is dancing as if she were walking a tight rope (but more dramatically), in front of a background reminiscent of Microsoft's "Mystify" screensaver -- albeit symmetrical.

FX/SFX: The countdown, the forming and shining of the marquee, and the dancer.

Music/Sounds: A low beep at each number of the countdown, and then a cheesy 80s rock tune that fades out on its last note.

Availability: Most likely found on releases by this company at the time.

Legacy: This logo proves to be another one of those cheesy, but campy obscure 80s VHS logos -- given its cheesy music and animation. Also, the animation in the marquee is more similar to a GIF image than any other marquee you'd see.
