2nd Logo (1980s)

Logo: On a black background, we see a blue light in the middle, and then we see streaks streaking through the light, forming a curve, which then spins and a crescent shifts to the left side of the curve and an oval shifts to the right side of the curve, forming a circle with two curved lines, reflecting that of a "K". The circle with the K zooms out, and after it zooms out, "K-TEL VIDEO" in the same font for Almi Television, appear next to the circle in a "wipe" effect. After the text appears, lights above and below the name appear, and the lights change throughout, resembling that of a marquee. As this happens, the text sparkles left to right seven times, and a final sparkle right to left.

FX/SFX: Everything.

Music: A rising synth drone.

Availability: Rare. Seen on the very first VHS release of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
