Futuristic Entertainment

Background
A British VHS company.

(1980s)


Nicknames: "Failing Air Conditioner", "Ball and Lines", "F of Final Judgement", "Three Times the WHOOSH"

Logo: On a black starry space background with a red planet on the upper right corner, "DISTRIBUTED BY" zooms in from space and flies by all the way through the bottom. Afterwards a half triangle made of several lines flies in from the bottom left and the planet moves towards the triangle. The two objects meet and the triangle revolves slightly pointing towards the screen. The merging of the items forms an "F". Below that, FUTURISTIC ENTERTAINMENT in a color and shining, zooms in below the "F".

Technique: The words "DISTRIBUTED BY" flying by, the triangle and circle merging and forming the "F", the company name appearing. Typical 80s animation.

Music/Sounds: Three whooshing sounds are heard, first when the "DISTRIBUTED BY" text appears, second when the "F" forms, and finally when the company name appears, which ends with a wind-blowing sound.
