Nordic Video

(Early-Mid 1980s)
Logo: We start on a blue background in which a multi-colored circle zooms towards us. Alongside the circle is a box in which a letter "N" is fully inside, "V" is partially outside, and "OY", now smaller than the other two letters, are completely out of the box. Besides that is "NORDIC VIDEO Ab ". The top logo appears to zoom faster whereas the circle doesn't stop getting closer until the near end of the sequence. While the circle continues its animation, "ESITTÄÄ" zooms out at the same speed as the company's name and "COPYRIGHT BY HEMVIDEO FILM AB" appears at the bottom of the screen. When this sequence is complete, it cuts to a compilation of various movie scenes that last at most 1 second before returning to the finished product of the logo.

Variants: The movie sequences can change on various tapes depending on the genre. For example, if one movie is a western movie, then most of the clips shown are from spaghetti westerns.

Technique: The zoom-ins and the live-action movie footages.

Music/Sounds: An upbeat, synth theme.

Availability: Scarce. Seen on their catalogue from this period.
