MCA DiscoVision (LaserDisc Dead Side Bumper)
From the Audiovisual Identity Database, the motion graphics museum
Bumper (1978-1981)
Visuals: Over a blue background is the word "DISCOVISION" with black lines between "DISCO" and "VISION". The sentence "NO PROGRAM THIS SIDE" is below.
Technique: A still, computerized graphic.
Audio: None.
Availability: DiscoVision's standard practice for dead sides was to use a random side from a rejected run of discs and coat it with a lacquer to make it unplayable, but this bumper does appear occasionally on DiscoVision and early non-DiscoVision releases made by Universal Pioneer, such as the 1981 Magnetic Video release of All That Jazz.
