Background: Electric Blue is a pornographic television series released on tape by Electric Video.

1st Logo

(1980's)

Nickname: "The Neon Sign" Logo: Against a black background, a blurry picture of the Electric Blue logo zooms in, colored pale blue. It zooms too close to the camera, but zooms back a bit, then comes into focus. "THE END", in an outlined white typewriter font, can be seen below the logo. After a few seconds, the logo zooms forward and becomes a blurry picture again, and "THE END" disappears. FX/SFX: The zooming of the logo, the picture coming into focus. Live action, as the logo is a neon sign. Music/Sounds: A catchy Moog synth disco tune. Availability: Obviously, at the end of Electric Blue tapes in the UK and Australia. Editor's Note: None. 2nd Logo

(1990's)

Logo: We start off with a black BG with the white text

WHAT

WON'T

BE SHOWING

ON TELEVISION

THIS YEAR? ("WON'T" is slightly larger). It then cuts to a rippling blue silk sheet, and the Electric Blue logo (from logo 1) fades in over it (it also has the Australian equivalent to an NC-17 rating in the US; R 18+, in the bottom right corner of the logo). Then, it cuts to a black BG in which a yellow triangle comes in from the left and the text "Turn on TO VIDEO Anytime" zooms out on top of it ("Turn on" and "Anytime" are written in a red script font, and "TO VIDEO" is written in a plain white font on a blue parallelogram with a white outline). FX/SFX: The silk sheet. Music/Sounds: First, as the text appears, a man (believed to be Shawn "Cossie" Cosgrove, the announcer on the Aussie version of The Price is Right) says "What won't be showing on television this year?", then a woman says "For quality adult titles, look for Electric Blue at your video store.", and the same man says "Turn on to Electric Blue at your local video store." near the end. Sultry saxophone jazz music plays throughout. Availability: Seen on pornographic tapes in the UK and Australia. Editor's Note: None.
