Logo (1979-1984)

Red variant -
White variant
Visuals: On a white background, two red lines wipe in towards the middle of the screen from opposite directions of each other, peaking to make two small mountains that form an "M". A "V" then slides downward from the top of the screen and lines up with the "M", resting within the middle gap. Underneath, "VIDEO MOVIES" appears one by one in a stylized sans serif font, with the 1st "V" and "M" having a curled line to their left side, and a red line wipes in below. Finally, the byline "from Hokushin" appears below as a small size, slowly growing in size before stopping after a second.
Early Variant: Originally, the background was red, the logo was gold, and "from Hokushin" was white.
Technique: Cel animation.
Audio: A trumpet solo with a loud brass stinger near the end. This was the same fanfare used to open and close newscasts on the Italian broadcaster Rai 1 (TG1, or Telegiornale 1) from 1976 to 1992 (though the fanfare would be higher pitched on those newscasts in its later years). Both variants have a voiceover.
- The voiceover in the early variant has a man with a Maltese accent (Joe Gatt, the company's founder) and mentions that the VHS is a "special arrangement of the producer and the distributor".
- The later one has a voiceover in which a man with a British accent is reading over a VHS legal disclaimer.
Availability:
