Logo: Against a black background, a blue, double-layered octagonal frame zooms out. Then, an abstract, three-pointed gold crown fades in the center. The two points at the edge "shine".
Variant: A version exists in which the words
TOWER VISION FILM AB
zoom out above the crown, with the top-right part of the "T" extended over the rest of the letters. The crown is smaller in order to accomodate this.
Technique: The zooming and fading effects.
Music/Sounds: A dramatic synth bass with a weird distorted screech at the end.
Availability: Seen on old Swedish tapes at the time.
Legacy: Despite the rather poorly chyroned in crown and text and strange music, the logo isn't too bad compared to other Scandinavian logos of the period.
