Logo (1985-1986)

Visuals: On a black background, a blue-outlined globe is rotating. When the globe reaches Europe, it freezes, as the text "CONVERGE VIDEO PRESENTS" (with a segmented circle between "CONVERGE" and "VIDEO") fades in. The text then flips around several times. It fades out and the globe begins spinning again and zooming out.

Technique: Computer effects.

Audio: A creepy but catchy synthesized xylophone/piano tune, then several claps as the logo wipes, and then music which sounds like an early Sega Mega Drive/Genesis game. This is actually an excerpt from "A Wongga Dance Song" by Ryuichi Sakamoto off of the Esperanto album.

Availability: Only seen on Dutch VHS tapes of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Wulpse Amazones, and Deadbeat.

-Nickname: "Dark Europe"
+'''Audio:''' A creepy but catchy synthesized xylophone/piano tune, then several claps as the logo wipes, and then music which sounds like an early Sega Mega Drive/Genesis game. This is actually an excerpt from "[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WmG14Jc4K1U A Wongga Dance Song]" by Ryuichi Sakamoto off of the ''Esperanto'' album.
-Logo: Against a black background, we slowly move to a black map of Europe with a white outline, over a cruddy-looking blue globe with a small gleaming light on top, from a bottom-right angled position. When we stop, "Converge Video Presents" (with a segmented circle between "Converge" and "Video") fades in, in a rather grungy olive-green font, and the logo the text starts flipping around several times. While it animates, we slowly move away from the European map and towards Asia. After that, the text and logo fade out.

-FX/SFX: The globe moving, the text wiping.

-Music/Sounds: A creepy yet catchy synthesized xylophone/piano tune, then several claps as the logo wipes, and then a music which sounds like an early Sega Mega Drive/ Genesis game. This is actually an excerpt from ''A Wongga Dance Song'' by Ryuichi Sakamoto.
