Star International

Logo (August 30, 1985)
Visuals: A blue, hand-drawn four-pointed star is first shown up close against a black background containing some blinking objects. The star then choppily zooms to the top portion of the screen. While this happens, the objects stop blinking, appearing to be images of (presumably) light reflections, and travel in different directions. During this, two separate starfields pop in, one zooming in towards the camera with the star finally stopping zooming after a few seconds of its appearance, also appearing to be more vibrant, and another seamlessly fading in behind the former starfield, becoming more visible after the former abruptly disappears. A spinning globe (similar to Zamir Pictures International) fades in the middle of the screen and below the star, followed by a ribbon wiping in below the globe from the center on both ends. Lastly, a spark within the ribbon appears and moves left to right, revealing the company name "Helvetica" in a white sans serif format. The logo stays like this for a few seconds until it fades out altogether.

Technique: 2D computer animation and backlit cel animation.

Audio: It starts with a high-pitched, repetitive four-note swarmandal ditty repeating four times while a faintly crescendoing string ambiance can be heard. Halfway through, a low-pitched, guitar equivalent of the ditty joins in. The ditty repeats two more times after the first four repetitions, although lower-pitched. After that, before the ribbon fully appears, a three-note rising ditty plays while three glissandos play at each note, ending with a more bombastic rendition of it, excluding the swarmandal glissandos.

Availability: Seen only in Asambhav.
