Background

Apollo Video is a UK based company that has released a lot of blockbuster movies on VHS in the 80s and early 90s, mostly Bollywood.

(1980's)

Logo: After the static screen is shown, the Apollo video logo (a thick white vertical bar containing a white circle with the slanted letter "A", along with a thin line separating the texts "POLLO" and "VIDEO", both of which are right next to the circle), which is against a black background can be seen sliding in from the top, almost completely covering the static screen. As it stops sliding, the text "PRESENTS" fades in below the vertical bar, and stays static for a few seconds. The text fades away, as the logo then slides downwards, proceeding to the warning screen.

FX/SFX: The sliding and the fading of the text.

Music/Sounds: A happy-sounding woodwind melody accompanied by a guitar.

Availability: Ultra rare. Thias was seen on VHS releases of Bollywood films during the time, including Suhaag Ka Balidan.
