Background

Essex Video was the home video distributor of Essex Pictures that released its adult films on VHS and sometimes, on Laserdisc. Formerly, their releases were released through a distributor named Select Video.

(1984-1990)

Logo: On a black background, the words "ESSEX VIDEO" are seen in a goldenRetro Stereo Wide font (the same font that the Sega logo uses) with a segmented line in the middle, and surrounded by a rounded rectangle. The logo twirls around diagonally, then unfolds itself. It shines a bit, then we fade out.

FX/SFX: The twirling of the logo and shining. Just a shot of a model with cheap effects.

Music/Sounds: No sound, but on certain tapes and laserdiscs it used a disco-like synth-piano tune that sounded like something from a news broadcast from the late 70s.

Availability: Ultra rare, possibly bordering on extinct while the music variant is already extinct. Can be seen on vintage pornography films on videotapes from the 1980's.

Editor's Note: None.

'''Editor's Note:''' None. '''Editor's Note:''' Considering the soundtrack and the simple '80s effects that it consists of mainly due to the fact that the weird font is against a black background, the logo is a bit intense. At least the music is OK, though. [[Category:Home Entertainment Logos]]
