DMS Video

(1989-1991)
Nicknames : "Amiga on a Budget" "Ian Pearson and Gavin Blair Have Risen Again"

Logo : On a red 3D plain with a blue sky and grey pillars on each side, there is a VHS with a grid-textured triangle flying through black skyscrapers and a VCR at the end. The VHS heads into the VCR, which has "DMS" in a Pac-Man font and "LIMITED" in a spaced out font. The triangle then casts a shadow.

Music/Sounds : A rising synth tom-tom sound and a 3-note synth fanfare with bass backing plays. When the triangle casts a shadow, we hear the gong sound followed by a twinkling sound afterwards.

Music/Sounds Variant : At the end of most VHS titles, the twinkling sound heard at the end of the logo holds on for a few more seconds before fading out completely.

Availability : Very rare. This can be found on all Professor Playtime & Rat-A-Tat-Tat tapes from the company

Editor's Note : This goes way off the charts! The lackluster CGI, weird music, and other elements combine to make 100% real cheese - the logo itself is criticized by a few as being made on an Amiga computer while on a budget - think of Dire Straits' "Money for Nothing" music video - created by Ian Pearson and Gavin Blair
