Background
Hikon Film Video Distribution was an off-shoot label that Centre Video ran from 1981 to 1982.
Logo (1981-1982)
Visuals: The logo starts with an image of a cloudy sky. After a while, via a "rippling" effect, a video of a sunset sky (the clouds can be seen moving) over a beach wipes in. Many lavender circles are shown in two rows as if they were spotlights. A human eye zooms below the circles and stops very close to the screen. A moon then fades in over the iris and pupil of the eye. The silhouette of many theater seats and a couple kissing each other in the middle of them fades in at the bottom of the screen. Finally, the words "A HIKON FILM" fade in over the moon via a "rippling" effect, arranged like this:
HIKON
FILM
Technique: 2D computer animation mixed with live-action.
Audio: A "coming at you" synth theme, followed by some people repeatedly chanting "Hikon, Hikon, Hikon...!" until a shattering glass sound is heard. Afterwards, one of the following voiceovers would be heard:
- A calm-sounding man saying "A Hikon film."
- Male voices shouting "A HIKON FILM!" loudly in unison.
Availability: The company is only credited with four releases, each sporting psychedelic cover art. Credited releases include Fox Bat, Dial Rat, The Sadist, and Jazz on a Summer's Day.
