Background
Bootleg Films was an Australian production company. Its only known production was the obscure 1985 exploitation film Bootleg.
Logo (May 10, 1985)

Visuals: The screen fades and slowly zoom into into what appears to be an entire galaxy. About a second later a bright light fades in. It begins to rotate, getting brighter and brighter before the light totally takes up the screen. The screen fades out from white to a red 3D shape of Queensland, Australia with an army green filmstrip that has the text "BOOTLEG FILMS" on it wrapped around the outline (all on a black background). Six dashes move towards the top of the shape before being revealed to be a symbolization of radio airwaves made up of six rows of dashes (six in each row). The "airwaves" flicker on and off (a la RKO) before the logo fades out a couple seconds later.
Trivia: The logo's shape is the state of Queensland, Australia, which is where the film Bootleg was filmed.
Technique: 2D computer animation.
Audio: It starts with four rising analog synth chords, and as the "airwaves" appear we hear a synth imitating Morse code.
Availability: Only known to appear on the obscure 1985 film Bootleg.
