USSR State Committee for Cinematography Video

Logo descriptions by SnowflakesOmega

Background: The USSR State Committee for Cinematography Video (abbreviated as the USSR Goskino/Госкино СССР) was the governmental film production arm of the Soviet Union. It was founded in 1963 and abolished in 1991.

1st Logo (1980's-1989?) USSR State Committee for Cinematography (USSR) - CLG Wiki Logo: On a pink-ish background, a blue logo consisting of a four-pointed star with "Видео" in middle of it, surrounded by a TV tube border, flips in while zooming with a trailing square-shaped reflection behind. The trail stops flipping and the clear white logo fades in the front, standing for a few seconds. Below the logo there's "Госкино СССР" ("USSR Goskino"). The trails then flip out from the screen, leaving the white logo alone before fading out for a second.

FX/SFX: The basic flipping effects.

Music/Sounds: A resonant synth fanfare.

Availability: Seen on Soviet VHSs of cartoons and movies, which are very difficult to find, because VHS-players were very expensive.

Editor's Note: None.

2nd Logo (1989?-1991) USSR State Committee for Cinematography (1990s) Nickname: "The Hawaiian Punch Theft"

Logo: TBA

FX/SFX: The movements, the flying of the elements, the gradient wiping in, the lights, the chroma-keyed footage and the fading - all retro computer effects.

Music/Sounds: TBA

Availability: See 1st logo.

Editor's Note: It is barely notable for stealing scenes from the 1987 Hawaiian Punch commercial by Omnibus/Abel.
