ITI Home Video

Background

This was a video division of the largest Polish media conglomerate Grupa ITI, founded in 1984. In 2006 it was renamed to TVN after the commerical television network, in which ITI purchased a majority stake.

Logo: On a space background with flashing purple stars, the ITI logo zooms out, going through the "t", with the logo on its side, then, turning counter-clockwise until it positions itself, while the 3D look of it condenses. 2 laser from above and 4 laser from the right pass right through, and "HOME VIDEO" grows into place. When it's done, the background stops moving and it goes to the warning screen, in which when it finishes, it flips to a smaller version of the logo with a copyright date next to it.

Variants:

• Since 1997, the ITI strips aren't rounded, "home video" is in a different font and lower case, and the logo is now in the center instead at the bottom. The background is still the same, however.
• On the same space background the ITI logo is static with a 3D text "PROPONUJE" zooming in on the bottom, then stopping.

FX/SFX: 3D animation combined with the 2D background.

Music/Sounds: A droning synthesizer tune with laser zaps.

Availability: Seen on '90s VHS releases and early DVD's from ITI. Was seen on the DVD of Młode Wilki 2.

Editor's Note: None.

Trivia: The Polish VHS release of Hard to Kill had also silent static gray screens with ITI logo and white warning text "Wszelkie prawa zastrzeżone" over the logo that appeared during the film. It was probably some kind of anti-piracy measure.
