Background

In 1984, Filmways left Video Classics to join K-TEL Video. Video Tape Center had a contract with K-TEL Video and decided to merge with its own home video division to form a joint venture Filmways VTC, with K-TEL Video serving as its distributor. VTC left the venture quickly in 1985 due to its troubles, and soon afterwards, it was reverted to the Filmways Home Video name.

Logo (1984-1985)

Visuals: On a cornflower blue background, a white rounded rectangle with a black outline is seen in the centre of the screen. Inside it is the text "filmways VTC" in a rainbow hue, with the "f" designed after the Filmways logo. The text "presents" wipes in below the logo.

Variant: The logo was often paired with the K-Tel Video logo as a part of a preview bumper, with the logo being in a sky blue-white gradient.

Technique: Computer animation.

Audio: None.

Availability: The standalone logo was seen on few Australian VHS releases, like Sword of the Barbarians and Alone in the Dark, but most tapes use the K-TEL Video logo instead. It was commonly seen on previews of other releases.
