'''Editor's Note:''' This logo is infamously known due its strange music and psychedelic animation. The design however looks very "stereotypical 80s" with the palm tree designs, color scheme and chrome texturing, and combined with the music is reminiscent of "vaporwave" subculture that emerged in the 2010s. |

Logo (1980s)
The video of this logo may be too loud or severely distorted. |
Visuals: Over a sunrise background, the logo starts with mountains with palm trees on top. At the bottom, we can see the text "THE NEXT WAVE IN ENTERTAINMENT", in a pink. The text is hardly visible, due to half of it being off-screen, and the word "WAVE" being barely noticeable. The camera then moves upwards, as the screen fades to a pink sunrise background, with a pink metallic sphere in the middle. The screen fades to a dark purple background, with "Genesis", in a red slanted, Mistral-like cursive font. Below it to the right is "HOME - VIDEO, LTD.", sandwiched between two lines, all of the same color as "Genesis". The sphere, now silvery, is seen on top of "Genesis", just above the "n and "e". After some time, the text from the beginning "THE NEXT WAVE IN ENTERTAINMENT", arranged in a purple font with white "shadowing" appears in the center of the screen, as the other text and sphere fade out to a time-lapse cloudy sky or moving lava lamp-like background colored with orange, yellow, pink and green, all neon. The text disappears, and the background fades to black a couple of seconds after.
Technique: 2D computer animation, possibly done on a computer.
Audio: A somewhat loud thunder sound, a long, drawn-out, high-pitched, synth-like whistle descending in pitch, and a synthesized "hum", that sounds similar to the 1982-1991 PolyGram Video logo.
Availability: Can be found on Christmas Evil and Night of Horror, among others.
