Village Cinemas

Background
Village Cinemas is an Australian cinema chain, operated by Australian Theatres, whom also operate Greater Union, BCC, and Event Cinemas. It was established in 1954 by Roc Kirby as a Drive-in theatre in Croydon, Victoria. It has since expanded to operate 21 different locations across Victoria and Tasmania inlcuding one remaining drive-in theatre at Coburg.

(Known) Logo (1980s)
Visuals: On a blue background, the word "VILLAGE", made up of dots, zooms out onto the screen, letter by letter, each leaving behind a trail. Once the entire word has formed, it shoots forward a trail of light.

Technique: Early computer effects.

Audio: A synth-brass stab with each letter appearing, along with the trail of light, accompanied by a male announcer saying "Village brings you the hits". Availability: Presumably used in cinemas at the time.

(Known) Logo (1992?- )
Visuals: Same as the current Roadshow Films logo, but instead, the text "VILLAGE CINEMAS" fades in, and the byline appears in the same font as the main text.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: Same as the Roadshow Films logo. Availability: Shown at the start of every screening at a Village branded cinema.
