Eureka Video

1st Logo (1980s-1990s)


Visuals: As the warning screen scrolls, a flipping blue gradient screen appears zooming into us with a outline surrounding it, having the yellow text "EUREKA" and "VIDEO", with the latter outlined in white. The whole logo covers the screen.

Technique: 2D computer animation.

Audio: A dreamy synth bell theme with a choir and some quiet spacy "pew" noises, then evolving into a majestic sounding synth choir with a 7-note synthesized trumpet fanfare a few seconds after "PRESENTS" appears.

Availability: Would be seen on Australian tapes by them such as the release of They Call Me Trinity.

2nd Logo (Early 2000s?)


Visuals: On a purple/blue sky enveloped by dark clouds, "EUREKA" in teal with a light blue outline alongside "VIDEO" in just a outline, appears from the top-right corner from a pixelated transition. When the text sets, "PRESENTS" in a similar style to the "VIDEO" text, all appear one after another in a drop down transition. The screen flashes 3 times, simulating thunder, which makes the background brighter. The logo then ends with the background fading out before the "EUREKA VIDEO" text does, leaving the text on a black background for a few more milliseconds before finally fading out, ending the logo.

Technique: 2D animation.

Audio: Another synth theme with more brash "pew" noises. After the "PRESENTS" text is a revealed, a lowering crescendo consisting of 15 notes is heard. During this, 3 consecutive "thud" noises are also heard when the screen flashes.

Availability: This could be found on Eureka's early 2000s DVD releases, including Night of the Living Dead. It is unknown if this logo is used on any other releases during this time.
