Logo (1984-1990s)
Visuals: Over a black background is several purple//pink lines appearing up and down, forming a TV tube shape (similar to the Qintex Entertainment logo) with an "M " inside it. Then, a streak/ribbon wraps around the "M ", making a script letter "V". "MORRIS VIDEO " in the Yagi Double font, colored -purple, appears below and glows brightly. The whole thing zooms out, leaving the dissolving trail.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: A creaking synth bass that becomes a held-out note ending with a whoosh. When the text appears, there is a distorted, deep-voiced announcer saying "Morris...Video."

Availability: Can be seen on certain instructional videotapes like Super Bowling and Handgun Fundamentals with jeff Cooper.
