Empire Video Home Entertainment

Background

Empire Video Home Entertainment was a home entertainment company from Greece.

Logo (Late 1980s?)

Visuals: After the warning screen dissolves away, there is the text

EMPIRE VIDEO

in a futuristic font with “HOME ENTERTAINMENT” below flipping from the background, moving towards the right side and settling in the center. Then,

Παρουσιαζει
τα εκλεκτοτερα εργα σε βιντεο

(which translates to “Presents the finest works in video”) zooms in below, with colours fading in said text (that being white, yellow, light blue, green, magenta, red and indigo from left to right) as the same happens to the company name shortly after (albeit with a “dissolve” effect). The Greek text zooms out, and the company name zooms out to the right side of the screen. The text resembles the logo from a more well-known outfit of the same name.

Technique: Computer animation.

Audio: A portion of p:Machinery (Polish) by Propaganda that has been slowed and pitched down by -5.

Availability: Appears on Greek video prints of At Last, at Last, Notturno and Colpo rovente.
