Hellas World Home Video

(1980's)


Visuals: On a black background, a turquoise-tinted 2D globe (with all the continents segmented) with a golden yellow light glaring on it appears. Then, a large eye-shaped paper-white dual border wipes in vertically around it. On the top of the border are the words "HELLAS WORLD" in black on the bottom is "VIDEO ENTERPRISES" also in black. On the left end of the border is a small paper-white crescent and inside both ends of the border are two black asterisk signs (*).The black circle, covering the globe appears and pulsates like a heart few times. Then, it appears again with the word "presents" in white on it.

Technique: The wiping in and flashing of the logo. Primitive animation.

Audio: An abridged version of a 60's electric guitar/organ-driven R&B tune called "Green Onions" by Brooker T. and the M.G's.

Availability: Seen on greek films like The Alchemist.
