Diplomat Video
Logo (January 1983-November 1984)

Visuals: On a black background with blinking white stars, a live-action gloved hand, holding a red feather, is seen "writing" (The hand is actually just mimicking writing, as the logo is just wiped in slowly) the text "Diplomat" in a ornate script font. Once the hand finishes writing the word, it moves below and flicks its fingers, letting the text "VIDEO" in a bold sans font appear below "Diplomat", as well as "presents" also in a script font. After the hand leave the screen, a drawing of a top hat appears on the cross bar of the "t"
Technique: Live-action chroma-keyed over early computer graphics.
Audio: A fancy-sounding synth tune.
Availability: Seen on many pre-cert Videoform VHS releases such as The Ambush Murders, A Black Veil for Lisa, Bloodstained Shadows, The Comeback Kid, Dayton's Devils, Death Flight, The Devil's Widow, The Eliminator, Freedom Road, The Happy Prince, Leave 'Em Laughing, The Little Mermaid, The Loch Ness Horror, Panic in the City, Rage, The Selfish Giant, Skyriders Attack, Spasmo, Viva Max!, The Winds of Kitty Hawk, and The Word.
