Logo (1980s)
Visuals: A wireframe globe with only Australia flies into the center of the screen. Then a spiral pattern reminiscent of the Microsoft Edge logo emerges from the globe. As this design "glows" from behind, the words
PBL Productions
fly in with a typical 80s trail effect. The text then shines as the logo fades out.
Technique: Oxberry and 2D effects.
Audio: A bright, triumphant synth fanfare
Availability: Can be seen on A Fortunate Life both on DVD and Amazon Prime prints. Can also be found on Double Sculls alongside the MTM logo.
