Video Elit

Background
Video Elit was a home video company which would release videocassettes. With the advent of DVDs, an imprint of Elit was used by Arcadia Entertainment.

1st Logo (1982-1990, 2000)
Visuals: There is a thick white arc. It moves from the top left corner downwards to the center. As the arc stops, a half-circle zooms in below it and stops zooming just before it touches the white arc. Then, "VIDeO Elit" in a white, custom blocky font zooms out from the bottom of the screen. The word "ELIT" is stationed at the top right for the entire duration of the logo formation.

Technique: Computerized 2D animation.

Audio: A synthesized brass theme, which plays in a loop twice.

Availability: Appears on Video Elit prints of The Dark Crystal, Cabaret, The Sacketts, Dark Night of the Scarecrow, and Futureworld, among other releases. This also makes a surprise appearance on the 2000 DVD of Afti i nyhta menei.

2nd Logo (1989-1990s)
Visuals: The sequence starts with a background with a bit of black on the top left corner. The background zooms out to reveal that it's a diagonal line. Once it finishes zooming, 2 white lines from either side draw themselves on the line. When they meet, a light effect happens on the line. After that, a short white line draws itself in the centre. Once that's done, the text "ΕΛΛΗΝΙΚΉ ΠΑΡΑΓΩΓΉ" (GREEK PRODUCTION) fades on the line. A circle goes down before setting itself in the centre behind the lines, leaving an arc. A white arc then draws itself over the  arc. Then, the diagonal line shrinks, and as it does so, another light blinks on the bottom left corner of the horizontal line. Then, "VIDeO Elit"in the same font as before fades in beneath the horizontal line.

Technique: Computerized 2D animation.

Audio: Same as before.

Availability: Seen on their tapes during the time, such as Billy the Kid.
