1st Logo (1985-1988)

Visuals: In the starry sky, the arched word "ZODIAC" in the fancy 60s-esque font zooms out from the bottom to the top, one-by-one, leaving residue trails, followed by "VIDEO" in the wide sans-serif font zooming out from the top to the bottom in the same way as "ZODIAC", then the word "ΠΑΡΟΥΣΙΑΖΕΙ" ("PRESENTS") in the Optima font wipes in and the golden shining 6-pointed star zooms in from the center to the near-top followed by a blue circular design consisting of the top semicircle with sunrays and the bottom semicircle outline separated by an arc, zooming out to the spot where the star should fit, leaving residue trails. The pink part below the circle and a star then wipes in from the top, while the woman's face fades in, then the blonde hair zooms out, also leaving trails, forming the logo.

Technique: Scanimation.

Audio: The first few seconds of "The Eve of the War" by Jeff Wayne, which continues at the warning screen.
