Logo: On a green-blue gradient background, we see a green-blue chyron trail that says "SuperVideo" in a font very similar to Sophi Sophi Regular and Futura SH ExtraLight; the trail is to the right. Then another "SuperVideo" chyron trail fades in. A scrolling "SuperVideo" chyron trail goes across the screen quickly in a manner similar to the Windows Movie Maker title "Scroll, Banner" except with much more chyron. Then assorted rainbow chyron trails that say "SuperVideo" surround the screen, and it's nothing but chyron trails for some time. Then, on a black background with a spotlight, a red-orange chyron trail that says "SuperVideo" appears, and the spotlight is turned off, leaving the word "SuperVideo" and a shadowy clone behind it.
Technique: 2D computer animation.
Music/Sounds: An edited segment of the track "Almost Dead" from the A Fistful of Dollars soundtrack suite by Ennio Morricone, the second half of which is played twice.
Availability: Rare. Probably seen on old German PAL tapes. Look on eBay.de, or go to Germany and check video stores for tapes with a SuperVideo print.
Legacy: This logo is rather infamous among the community for its psychadelic graphics and intense amounts of chyron.
