Background

Inter-Ocean Video was Video Programme Distributors' first off-shoot video label that was known for its pre-cert releases of horror and martial arts films.

Logo (1980-Feburary 1983)

Visuals: A M-shaped black outline is seen at the top centre, with a dot-matrix sphere on top of the outline. Below is the text "INTER-OCEAN VIDEO" in a rounded font, stacked on each other. Everything is on a white, blue, or light red square on a black screen.

Variant: On some Australian releases, the blue background variant has a red logo and the inside of the sphere filled with white.

Technique: A still printed image.

Audio: Just a male announcer announcing a copyright warning over the entire logo- "The copyright proprietor has licensed the film contained in this videocassette for private home use only. Any other use including making copies of the film, causing it to be seen or heard in public, or broadcasting it or causing it to be transmitted to subscribers to a diffusion service, or selling, letting on hire, exchanging, or otherwise dealing with it in part, is strictly prohibited without the prior written permission of Inter-Ocean Video."

Audio Variant: Sometimes, the phrase "letting on hire, exchanging" is omitted in the voiceover.

Availability: Seen on many pre-cert releases from the UK.

A few examples are video nasties of Black Sabbath, Perversion Story and many others.
It was also seen on many martial arts films featuring Bruce Lee.
It's unknown on how many Australian releases have the blue/red variant.

-'''Visuals:''' On a white background with a thick black border, we see a strange black polygonal outline (which looks kinda like 2 mountains or something). Above it is a black 3D sphere with little dots on it. Below both drawings is the text "INTER-OCEAN VIDEO" in black, with "VIDEO" outlined. The text is set in a 70's-era rounded futuristic font.
