Background
Odyssey Video was a home video company from United Kingdom.
1st Logo (1983-1990s)
Visuals: On a sky blue background with shimmering water below, a dark blue compass flies down and eases in towards the screen. Soon it stops, the water disappears and below "ODYSSEY" in white fades in below.
Variants:
- The logo was used in a still for previews. It is upward and smaller with "OTHER TITLES FROM OUR CATALOGUE" in white below.
- A textless variant exists.
Technique: Analogue 2D animation with live-action elements.
Audio: A synth rendition of the first portion of Gounod's "Ave Maria", which is a soothing tune with the sound of waves washing ashore when the compass moves.
Availability:
- Seen on releases from the UK such as The Cartier Affair, That Sinking Feeling, Christmas on Division Street and Dennis the Menace: Dinosaur Hunter (released in the UK as Just Dennis).
- It is also intact at the beginning of Amazon Prime Video's print of Act of Will.
