Silwa Video

Background
Silwa Video is a German pornographic film/home video company.

Logo (Late 1970's-1982?)
Logo: The logo starts with a close-up of a rotating rainbow gradient circle as it zooms out with "silwa" and a heart with an arrow fading in. Once stopped spinning, the logo fades out and another set of text reading "SILWA", "VIDEO", and "präsentiert", appearing one-by-one, wipes in, and fades in respectively.

FX/SFX: The circle spinning and the logo fading and wiping.

Music/Sounds: An electronic drone throughout the logo. Beeps are heard in the first half whereas seven notes play in-sync with the animation of the second half.

Availability: Seen on Les grandes pompeuses, Die Maßlosen, and Fiction in Love.

Editor's Note: None.

Logo (Late 1970's?-1992)
Logo: There is large, blue text with a white stroke and two blue, static light rays between "L" and "W" and "E" and "O". The same logo, with a trail effect, slides behind the normal logo from the bottom left corner to the upper right.

Trivia: On a news program produced by the company, this logo appears behind a news reporter.

Variants: On most tapes, the logo is off-center, aligning more towards the upper right corner of the screen.

FX/SFX: The movement of the background text and the trail effect.

Editor's Note: None.
