LaserLight Digital

Background

LaserLight Digital was a label owned by Delta Leisure Group, formed in the 1980s and releasing primarily classical music, although sometimes it branched out into other genres like reggae. As with its parent label, LaserLight Digital also released public-domain films on VHS. After the American branch of Delta fell apart in 2007, LaserLight Digital went into dormancy.

(1998-2007)

Logo: On a black background, a glowing blue dot appears in the center, alongside a line. 2 more dots come from the top-left and bottom-right parts of the screen, and collide in the center. The blue dot grows, revealing parts of the LaserLight Digital logo, which consists of the word "LASERLIGHT" cut-out in a silver box, with the similarly cut-out word "DIGITAL" below it in a small yellow rectangle. As the light shrinks, the LaserLight Digital logo zooms in. When the logo stops at a comfortable distance, a light blink appears near the first "L" in the logo and slides to the right.

Technique: Simple, but effective animation.

Music/Sounds: A short fanfare, taken from part of Beethoven's "Symphony No. 9", with whooshes and sparkles and a low synth note at the end.

Availability:

Seen on public-domain releases from the company, such as The Indestructible Man.
It also appears on the 2000 UK VHS releases of Lift Off: Ec And The Lift Off Kids, Lift Off: The Story Of Ec and Oscar And Friends: Oscar Takes Off, respectively as well.
