Din Video

1st Logo (1980s)


Visuals: Against a black background, we see a drawing of the flags of Finland, Norway, Denmark, and Sweden arranged from left to right, which form a "parachute" shape. In the center are the words "DIN VIDEO" (in gold, arranged horizontally and with "DIN" in an upward arc formation) with shadows that extend downwards toward the bottom.

Technique: None.

Audio: None.

Availability: Seen on many old Swedish tapes of public domain cartoons and films.

2nd Logo (Late 1980s-1990s)
Visuals: On a white background, the neon green, italicized text "KOPFILM" as well as an unidentifiable word of the same description appears above. After a couple of seconds, a heart made of the flags of Finland, Norway, Demark, and Sweden appears below. On it is "DIN VIDEO" arranged the same way as before along with a filmstrip surrounding the heart.

Technique: Fading effects.

Audio: A bombastic orchestral fanfare ("Destiny" by Keith Mansfield from the Bruton Music library, also used in the ITC Film Distributors Ltd. logo).

Availability: Seen on Röde Baronen and many other public domain cartoon tapes which are mostly distributed by Broadway Video and may also appear on some Inspector Gadget tapes.
