Logo (2000s)


Visuals: The camera turns upward and zooms through a gridded tunnel with its colors alternating from blue, purple, yellow, orange and red. As it zooms, a red A in a futuristic style font rapidly zooms from the left, and a blue K in the same font appears from the right in the same fashion as the A, placing itself next to said letter. A glassy V and O, both connected to each other via a line at the top (said line having three zigzags of altering sizes in the center), flies from the bottom left corner and places itself under the letters, then a translucent triangle zooms in place from the right. Then, ""IDE"" in red zooms from the left and places itself underneath the line connecting the V and O as the triangle starts rotating and zooming. Then, the logo flies past the camera from between the A and K before we see the company logo spinning horizontally to the left, this time with the V and O being black and the triangle being white with a gray gradient on the bottom left. The tunnel "blurs" into a small red and blue light as this happens.

Variants:

  • On early releases, there's a stacked "DVD" text with a line below the logo which lights up when the logo stops spinning.
  • There exists a still variant, which consists of the company logo set on a black background with a lens flare behind it on the left side. The triangle casts a shadow and the background of said shape is solid white.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: A stereotypically futuristic sounding synth tune consisting of a deep blow, kick drum and bongos, which gradually fades out into rapid tapping sounds complementing the logo spinning. None for the still variant.

Availability: Seen on Les Récré à 5. The still variant was found on a DVD release of Arcadia of My Youth: Endless Orbit SSX.
