ABC Media

Logo (1980s)


Visuals: On a night sky, a row of lights on a dark blue floor scrolls along as an outline of a city also scrolls in. The lights stop scrolling once we get to a floating pair of lights as the camera rises up and zooms towards the city. An ball of light then swerves into frame and then cuts to an black background with an neon-colored living room. The camera zooms towards the TV as it starts to sparkle and the ball heads into the screen, causing the frame to emit a tunnel of light and the logo to appear on a white rectangle. The logo is the text "abc MEDIA", with the former being larger and having the first and last letters in mirrored green and red shapes respectively, white the latter is smaller and spaced out to fit the former word. Everything then zooms into the screen, leaving the logo as it "grows" on the bottom right.

Technique: The neon ball flying, the logo zooming in. Both of the clips are from Cascom.

Audio: A Moog-synth tune that would not be out of place in a kids show.

Availability: Its tapes are long out of print, so make sure to seek them out in Norway and Iceland.
