Background

Quality X Video was an adult film distributor. It was revived in 2023 by Vinegar Syndrome.

Logo (1980-mid/late 1980s)

Visuals: A white "Q" zooms out on a blue background. Then, a few seconds later, a flash occurs, revealing a red "X" inside the "Q". The words "Quality X Video Cassette Company" fade in at the bottom afterward.

Technique: Traditional animation.

Audio: A piece of Keith Mansfield's "Blockbuster", a full length library cut from the Bruton Music Library.

Audio Trivia: Due to its 1980 date, this is the first logo to use any of Mansfield's music. His "Superstar Fanfare" has been used in nine different logos, and "National Pride" is most famously known as the theme to the 1983 and 1984 CBS/Fox Video logos.

Availability: They issued adult films (hence the "X") on VHS, Beta & Laserdisc at the time, such as Barbara Broadcast.
