2nd Logo (1983)


Visuals: On a black background, the logo starts with twelve colourful isosceles triangles, coming in red, green, yellow, violet, cyan and indigo, appearing from-left-to-right and one-at-a-time to form a giant fan. Then, the fan slowly disappears one color group at a time (red, green, yellow, purple, blue) to reveal the words "CYCLO VIDEO" in a white sports-style font.

Technique: Computer animation.

Audio: A triumphant Moog synth fanfare, which is Keith Mansfield's "Superstar Fanfare (h)".

Availability: Also seen on many pre-cert releases and video nasties from the UK.
