Private Screenings

(1983?-1990s)
Logo: On a black background, the text "PRIVATE SCREENINGS " in Cooper Black appears zooming forth in a trail effect, resulting in a flash. It stands still over a few seconds before flying out.

Variant: On some releases that were distributed by Luna Video, the text:

Exclusively Distributed by Luna Video Los Angeles, California

fades in below the logo, then fades out when the text flies out.

Technique: Likely early computer effects.

Audio: A synthesized rendition of "Sirius" by The Alan Parsons Project sped up.

Availability: Seen on adult tapes from the era. It also appears at the end of their tapes. Strangely, this also appears on a 1984 ONTV airing of Midnight Heat.
