Logo (1987-1991)


Visuals: On a blue marble background, two grey parallelograms with "STYLUS" and "VIDEO" on them and a green line swing around and go off screen. The "STYLUS" parallelogram flies down and twirls around, making the text disappear and it flies off screen. The "VIDEO" parallelogram flies in with the green line. The parallelogram flips, making the text disappear. The parallelogram disappears with the green line as two more parallelograms slide in, linking together. The text applies itself onto the parallelograms and a reverse check mark draws itself on the parallelograms, turning it inverse where it was drawn. Two pairs of green lines zoom out and apply themselves in between the text.

Technique: Analog, chyroned computer animation.

Audio: A synth pop tune.

Audio Variant: Sometimes when there are previews, an announcer is heard introducing what the previews are.
