Background
Polydor Video was a home video division of Polydor Co., Ltd. and a sublabel of PolyGram Video.
1st Logo (1982-1993)
Visuals: On a space background, one pink-trailed comet, and one blue-trailed comet each from left and right go to opposite directions, and later explode. Then, "P O L Y D O R V I D E O" in chrome is formed and glows. There are the comets again, as they crash into each other and explode in the middle of the text, causing it to shine. Afterwards, the whole logo fades to black.
Variant: On later releases, a version where the comet explosion leaves colorful rays was used.
Technique: 2D digital animation.
Audio: None.
Availability: It was seen on older video releases of concerts and anime distributed by the company, including the LaserDisc release of Da Makani by Shakatak: Story of the Seabreeze. However, some releases like Yatterman: Perfect Collection continue to use this logo until at least 1993.
2nd Logo (1986-1989)
Visuals: Over a space background, many copies of red Polydor logos zoom out and merge into one as a white rectangle flips in and turns red. The semicircle turns black and the text turns white, as "POLYDOR VIDEO" in a serif font and a blue shadow on the top-right, appears via a page turn effect from the top-left while the logo glows. Also, some black sheens move behind "POLYDOR VIDEO".
Technique: 2D animation.
Audio: None.
Availability: Unknown.
3rd Logo (1989-1992)
Visuals: Over a dark blue background, there are many bubbles flying at the camera. Suddenly, a silver CD hits the screen and spins around while four red rectangles flip and turn, head behind it, and eventually hit the CD. When the rectangles hit the CD, one half of the red background with the CD flips over, forming the half-CD part of the Polydor logo. Then, the entire rectangle flips over while the word "polydor" in white flips and hits the space left in the rectangle. The flying bubbles disappear, and the logo shines.
Technique: 2D digital animation.
Audio: A somewhat dramatic synth-choir theme.
Availability: Seen on mostly Japanese laserdiscs and VHS tapes of anime and music, most notably the Gall Force series.
