Logo (1983-1989)
Visuals: On a black background with several moving silver-blue lines that overlap, we see "TOSHIBA" in its corporate font rotating to the center of the screen, leaving a 3D rainbow trail as it does so. The text flashes and becomes shiny gray as the background changes to navy blue.

Technique: The text rotating, the background moving, the flashing, the shining.

Audio: A strange synth-horn tune combined with a female choir.

Availability: Seen on some VHSs and laserdiscs from the time. Was also spotted on a Japanese VHS release of William Malone's 1985 sci-fi film Creature.
