Standard Video (Netherlands)

(Early-Mid 1980s)


Visuals: On a gray background, we see the words "STANDARD VIDEO" in a stacked format, with a spinning radial rainbow pattern masked around it with two gaps missing from both directions It stops for a moment, then later it then changes to a diagonal rainbow pattern, which then animates shortly after. Later, it slows down, then stops shortly after. It then cuts to a scene where three pennants, one red, one yellow, and one blue zoom in. The tri-dimensional text "STANDARD VIDEO" (one red and one green) appears below. Moments later, the text disappears and the pennants "wither" away.

Technique: Computer animation.

Audio: A sample of Clark Gault's Spacewars "A" (with SFX).

Availability: Seen on releases from this company, such as Covert Action. It also appears on Greek releases under the label "Video Standard".
