Background

1st Logo (1980s-1989)
Visuals: On a black background, four black squares zoom out, each containing four porn movie posters. "Vivid" in a white script font with " V I D E O " below it fades in over the posters.

Technique: 2D animation.

Audio: A synth pop-esque music.

Availability: Found on early porn tapes by the company.

2nd Logo (1989-2001)


Visuals: Over a marble background, we see two silhouettes of a bald couple. The silhouettes then get closer to each other and kiss, but suddenly, the silhouettes quickly transform into a script V, which then thickens and turns metallic and blue. The V rotates to face the top as the rest of the logo script gets to be revealed, actually being "Vivid", which then zooms back and stops. A red chalk underline writes in below. The metallic "VIDEO" then flashes in near the underline, and "Vivid" also flashes. The logo shines.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: A gentle string theme, which then builds up into a pounding rock theme. A male announcer then says "You're watching a Vivid feature presentation".

Availability: Can be seen on porn tapes released by Vivid. It can also, strangely be seen on some Vivid releases on 3DO and PC, mainly those of the FMV kind.

(2001- )
Visuals: On a light blue background with a letterboxed capture of moving clouds in a blue tint; we see on the left, some white triangles spinning and turning into an upside-down star, with the top-right point longer than the others and with a white check symbol inside. On the right, the word "VIVID" in blue with thick white borders, wipes quickly, A shiny line appears and makes the white word "ENTERTAINMENT" appearing below it, via a shining effect.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: A windy noise that ends with a cymbal crash for the "VIVID" text and a synth drumbeat for the "ENTERTAINMENT" one.

Availability: Can be seen on later releases of porn films released by Vivid.
