Carlson Films

(1992)
Nickname: "Chaos In The Static City"

Logo: On a black background, animated static appears via a reverse "smoke" effect transition. Just as the black background gets cleared away, a city skyline appears from the bottom of the screen and rotates towards the screen, with all the windows white except for the tallest window, which is purple. As the top building pops into frame, it reveals itself to be the Carlson Films logo, which is the black letters "CF" in a futuristic font inside of a rectangle, along with "CARLSON FILMS" in Arial below it. A "TM" mark can also be seen inside the logo. After a few seconds, the logo splits into 8 bands that form a ball from it, rotating around from left to right. 2 white drops appear from the left and right respectively and strike the ball, leaving orange shockwaves that cause it to split into many different pieces that split off and shrink into nothing as it moves down.

FX/SFX: The transitions. This was produced with NewTek's Video Toaster software, which was also used for Edde Entertainment's first logo.

Music/Sounds: A simple melody using a harpsichord and synth guitar, rather low-quality ones, that repeats multiple times, speeding up gradually before eventually ending with a disarray of notes.

Availability: Extremely rare. It's only seen on the film Graveyard Rot.

Legacy: The chaotic, incoherent music can either make the viewer unwary or laugh due to how poorly it's made.
