Background

Premier International was a Hungarian VHS distributor operating throughout the 90's.

1st Logo (Early-Mid 90's)

• 

Visuals: The screen fades in to an orange-tinted sky background with a thick black vertical line. The line rotates clockwise to reveal itself as a clapperboard, which then claps, revealing the blue-white gradient word "PREMIER" in a stenciled font, with "INTERNATIONAL" carved into a shiny bar below it on its board. A white ball of light then comes in from the top-right, bypasses the clapperboard from the left, and makes the words on the board shine. The logo then fades out.

Technique: Simple CGI.

Audio: A heavily synthesized pounding theme (which starts a few seconds before the logo fades in), with a deep bass note when the clapperboard rotates, a gong when it claps, a convex intonation of whooshes when the light passes by, and two orchestral hits at the end.

Availability: Unknown.

2nd Logo (Mid-Late 90's)

• 

Visuals: The screen zooms out from the letters of "PREMIER", now in a faded gold color, rotating inside a dark gray tower structure, from which an also rotating cyan ray of light illuminates. All this is in front of a dark space background with a cyan-toned nebula and a brown planet in the bottom-left (possibly Mars). As the camera zooms out to a comfortable distance, the letters fly out of the structure and to the front one-by-one, while the camera pans a little more.

Technique: More advanced CGI than before.

Audio: A shortened version of the music from before, starting with the gong hit.

Availability: Unknown.
