Nova Studios

Background
Nova Studios was a gay pornographic studio founded by Scott Masters in 1977. They distributed their films through mail and adult bookstores, usually with high prices. The company is known for the "West Coast Look", a filmmaking style that makes pornos like staged plays, and established many gay porn tropes such as partially clothed sex. In 1980, the studio's finances declined thanks to Masters' lover licensing the company's material without permission, mostly in lower quality. After a series of failed changes such as a transition to sound films, the company licensed its remaining products to a third party and ceased operations in late 1986.

2nd Logo (1980s-1986)
Logo: On a zooming space background, a star cut-out of blazing fire appears. Shortly after, the text "NOVA" in the same fashion as before fades in.

FX/SFX: Simple 2D animation for the zooming space background and fading text. Live-action for the fire footage.

Music/Sounds: Starts off with an ominous sting that transitions into a fast synth arpeggio with a 6-note synth jingle played twice. This is actually the stock music "Electrosonic IDs And Logos #6" composed by Richard Sanders, and was used by other logos such as MTC Video.
