Video Releasing Organization

Logo (1981-1982)
Logo:
 * (Slide 1) A set of colour bars on the top, and the logo at the bottom: the logo has a pale blue background and consists of a strip of film with each frame containing one of the letters from the word "VIDEO". Underneath the film strip is the caption "Releasing Organization".
 * (Slide 2) On a pale blue background, the copyright notice between two lines, with the header "COPYRIGHT NOTICE" splitting the top line. At the bottom, the logo of Video Network with the caption "© VIDEO RELEASING ORGANIZATION" at the bottom. The edges of the copyright slide are visible.

FX/SFX: None.

Music/Sounds: A male voiceover reads the following text:


 * (Slide 1) On behalf of the motion picture industry, welcome to the world of home video entertainment. At the conclusion of this feature film, you will find a selection of coming attractions available on the VRO Network labels.
 * (Slide 2) Just before the programme starts, please read the copyright notice now showing on your screen, and note that the material and its accompanying soundtrack is covered by copyright. It is an infringement of law to copy this material, or to sell or show any unauthorised copy. So don't do it.
 * And now, on with the programme.

Logo (early 1980s)
Logo: A blue screen box-transitions into the logo of Video Network, consisting of a black screen with joined-up letters "video network" in red: below the joined-up text is the caption "DISTRIBUTORS OF VIDEO MOVIES" and their telephone number. Under the screen is the caption "VIDEO RELEASING ORGANIZATION". While the narrator reads the copyright notice, a red bar wipes in from the bottom, flashing the caption "READ THE COPYRIGHT NOTICE".

FX/SFX: Simple wiping.

Music/Sounds: A male voiceover reads the following text:


 * On behalf of the motion picture industry, welcome to the world of home video entertainment. At the conclusion of this feature film, you will find a selection of coming attractions available on the VRO Network labels.
 * Just before the programme starts, please read the copyright notice and note that the material and its accompanying soundtrack is covered by copyright. It is an infringement of law to copy this material, or to sell or show any unauthorised copy. So don't do it.
 * And now, on with the programme.

The phrase "now showing on your screen" seems to be hastily cut. Availability: TBA
