1st Logo (1990-1994)


Nickname: "The Atlantic Fan Logo"

Logo: On a black background, a dot flies by, and we see a box rising up and expanding into a box with a border between "A VISION" in, and "E N T E R T A I N M E N T" in white. Between "A" and "VISION" is a fan spinning. A white dot then applies to the fan, forming the Atlantic fan logo used at the time.

Variant: At the end of Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers VHS tapes released by the company, a black screen reading "serif" appears before the actual logo.

FX/SFX: The box expanding, the fan spinning.

Music/Sounds: A strange synth theme, then a "thunk" sound when the dot gets to the fan.

Availability: Seen on all Atlantic-Vision tapes.

Editor's Note: None.

2nd Logo (1990-1994)
