Video Gems (US)

Logo descriptions by V of Doom

Logo Captures by Eric S.

1st Logo: (1984-1991)
Nickname: “Fancy Green”

Logo: On a purple background, “VIDEO GEMS PRESENTS...” flies in from the right, with “Video Gems” in a unique font, outlined white and colored gold and “PRESENTS...” in a fancy thin white font, towards the center of the screen. Seconds later, it zooms away to the left.

Variants:


 * Sometimes, the logo will say “TV Gems” instead of “Video Gems”. This can be found on PAL VHS's of old UK TV shows (like those on the BBC or ITV).
 * The logo may be completely still.
 * There is a variant without "PRESENTS". FX/SFX: The flying in of the logo.

Music/Sounds: A trumpet fanfare with an echo effect, followed by a 6-note majestic synth orchestra tune at the end. The still version is silent, but on some tapes the full version is silent as well.

Availability: Seen on rare B-movies from the era.
