Peter's Greek Video Records & Tapes

(1979? - mid 1980s)
Logo: On a spinning space background, we see a yellow copyright notice scrolling up with a white outline, in a Star Wars-like fashion. Then it scrolls down and disappears, and the typical warning text "WARNING" in red with a white outline fading in. Below it is the warning text appearing below, aligned to the left. This all disappears, segueing to the Peter's Greek Video, Records & Tapes logo. Second half? The logo has a P with a spiral in the middle with the word "Peter's" Below. The P and word is white surrounded by a white square shaped frame on a indigo background. It rotates 360 degrees on the screen of stars until it shows itself. Stopping abruptly, the yellow text "Peter's Greek Video Records & Tapes" zooms out below the logo.

Technique: The space background, the copyright text scrolling, and the warning text fading in. Also, the cube rotating 360 degrees and the text zooming out. Rather cheap, but decent CGI ironically looking like scanimation. However, the space background looks incredibly choppy looking like pictures on a rotating see-through table.

Music/Sounds: A rather bizarre, psychedelic 70s-sounding gleaming synth fanfare sounding like it was from a 1970s space film.

Availability: Seen on tapes released under the Greek Video Records & Tapes label. Check eBay, Amazon or your local flea market to look for these tapes.

Legacy: Known for it's psychedelic music and cheap CGI, not many people were affiliated with buying tapes from Peter's.
