Screen Entertainment (UK)

Background

Screen Entertainment was a very obscure British VHS distributor active during the late 1980s and early 1990s.

(198?-199?)

Logo: On a dark blue-grey gradient background, we see two yellow crosses appear on the screen. They then spin for a few seconds as a white rectangle with a blue rectangle inside pops up. The crosses stop spinning, and the words "screen entertainment" slide in from both sides. Then, "Presents", in Brush Script, zooms up to the screen, then the logo fades out, leaving just "Presents". The logo fades out after a few seconds.

Variants:

On Wizbit and Friends, the logo cuts directly to the beginning of the program right after the music ends.
In the end of some programs, the still logo appears with a copyright notice below.

Technique: The animation of the crosses and text.

Music/Sounds: A fast-paced synth fanfare then ends with an orchestra. Other times, it's none.

Availability: This was seen on Wizbit and Friends and Zit - The Video, and the VHS of the Shadow Theater: The Best of Horror series.

Legacy: Simple animation, but that's to be expected from an obscure video distributor.
