CIC Video/Warning Screens

Main

British/Australian Warning Screens

1st Warning (January 1981-1989)

Visuals: On a powder blue background, the word "WARNING" in a large white font appears at the top, and the CIC Video logo does so at the bottom. Between them is white warning text scrolling upward.

Variants:

• There is an early version without the chain on the "I".
• On pre-1986 releases, the warning text does not scroll and the text is different.
• The words "Not for sale or hire in Australia and New Zealand" were not present until 1987. The variant without those exact words can be seen on the 1986 UK VHS releases of Back to the Future (Universal) and Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (Paramount), among others.

Technique: None, or computer effects.

Audio: None. However, some releases such as the British LaserDisc release of Jaws use the music from the 1978 Discovision logo.

Availability:

• Seen on CIC Video releases of the era.
• There is evidence to suggest that CIC's first release of a Universal film was that of Jaws and its first release of a Paramount film was that of Saturday Night Fever; this would mean that the warning debuted on original pressings of both films. (Universal releases from CIC ran in a sequence beginning with 1001 and Paramount releases from CIC ran in a sequence beginning with 2001.)
• One of the last releases with this warning was the 1989 UK VHS release of Biloxi Blues.

2nd Warning (1988-1991)

Visuals: On a black-dark blue gradient starfield background, "WARNING" fades in at the top in white. Below it, generic warning text (also in white) scrolls upward.

Variant: On Australian releases, different warning text scrolls up with the word "WARNING". Later releases have a different font.

Technique: Computer effects.

Audio: None.

Availability: Seen on CIC Video releases of the era.

3rd Warning (1991-1997)

Visuals:

• Opening: Over a black/blue gradient background, the logo starts with the word "WARNING", along with the following text, which is in Times New Roman:

The copyright owner has licensed this video recording for home use only. All other rights are reserved. For further details please refer to the end of the programme.

• Closing: Over the same background, the warning text is longer and scrolls upward, reading:

WARNING The copyright owner has licensed the film (including its soundtrack) recorded on this video recording for home use only. All other rights are reserved. The definition of home use excludes the use of this video recording at locations such as clubs, coaches, hospitals, hotels, oil rigs, prisons and schools. Any unauthorised copying, editing, exhibition, sale, rental, lending or any other kinds of trading, public performance or transmission by air, cable or otherwise of this video recording or any part thereof is strictly prohibited and any such action establishes liability for civil action and may give rise to criminal prosecution. Not for sale or hire in Australia/New Zealand.

Variants:

• Post-1994 releases use a plain different font called Helvetica.
• On Australian VHS releases, a different set of text is used. In addition, the word "WARNING" may not be underlined.
• Before 1994, it segues to the 1991 CIC Video logo.

Technique: None in the regular version, same as the previous warnings in the alternate variant.

Audio: None.

Availability: Seen on CIC Video releases of the era.

4th Warning (1996-2001)

Visuals:

• Opening: On the same aurora background as the era's CIC Video logo is the underlined word "WARNING" and the generic warning text in a white Russell Square Regular font. Behind it is a faded "CIC" in its familiar font.
• Closing: Against the same background with the faded CIC, the same longer set of warning text from the previous warnings scrolls up. When the text is finished scrolling upward, the background stays on for 2 additional seconds before the warning fades out.

Variants:

• On early DreamWorks Home Entertainment releases, technically under the CIC label, the faded CIC was removed and the text has darker shadows. It was reused, however, when Paramount Home Entertainment used it internationally from late 1999-early 2001.
• At the end of early DreamWorks Home Entertainment releases, the same longer set of warning text scrolls up as before, but scaled slightly, has minor spelling and grammar, and before the last paragraph of the warning text finishes scrolling upward, the background fades out early with it slightly. This was likely used as a prototype version.
• At the end of later DreamWorks and Paramount Home Entertainment releases, it's the same as before, but the typos are fixed and it finishes scrolling upwards before the background fades out.
• On time coded tapes, the opening warning is different. It starts off as the faded CIC zooms in to the center of the viewer's screen (in style of the 1996-1999 logo). Then, the different warning text scrolls up in a Univers Condensed font.

Technique: Same as the previous warnings.

Audio: None.

Availability: Seen on 1996-1999 CIC Video releases and remained on international Paramount releases until 2001.
