Technique: None.

Audio: The opening theme.

Availability: So far, spotted on the 1985 release of Walt Disney's Cartoon Carousel, a compilation of classic shorts released in movie theaters in Spain.

V I D E O

also in metallic chrome.

Technique: None.

Audio: None.

Availability: Seen on Filmayer Video releases from the era.^[Examples?]

2nd Logo (Late 1980s-Early 1990s)

Visuals: On a space background, there is a blue metallic filmstrip. The sprocket holes disappear and the shape positions itself. A blue, small, thin line quickly passes through the shape, making a metallic line appear, forming a lowercase letter "f". The word "FILMAYER" appears letter by letter. The word "VIDEO" then zooms in towards the screen, and settles beneath the word "FILMAYER".

Technique: Computer animation.

Audio: None.

Availability: Seen on Who are Pixie and Dixie? before the Turner and Hanna-Barbera logos.
