Background
Tavico Europe was a home video company, distributing and licensing mainly public domain works.
Logo (unknown timespan)
Visuals: A blue background fades in. A total of 12 stars appear as they move from the left one by one, and as the camera slightly zooms out from the bottom left, they roll circlewise to form a circle, akin to the flag of Europe, that almost covers the full screen. The Tavico Europe logo shows up from the top, as it moves circlewise vertically (while passing through the circle), only to stop over the center of the background, on the front, and ahead of the circle; "PRESENTEERT" appears beneath it. Said logo moves towards the screen and slightly rightwise and "PRESENTEERT" disappears. As the red color fades in the screen replacing the blue one, the logo is about to pass through the camera with the "O" in the center; it abruptly cuts to a blue/white background. In it, the Hello Kids! logo moves upwards from the bottom center, sidewise. It rotates around 90 degrees to the front, and slightly zooms in to the left, as a drawing of a kid fades in nearby it, on the right.
Technique: CGI.
Audio: Unknown
Availability: On Greek VHS releases of public domain works and Pinocchio (The Adventures of Buratino) by Europromotion.
