===1st Logo (1967-1969, 1983)===This logo and/or capture may be too loud for comfortable viewing.
Please ensure your volume is turned down before watching videos of this logo. |
Logo: On a gray background, a filmstrip figure with white-colored holes and the Greek letters ΘΒ in the center is shown. After a brief zoom-in to the logo, the words of "Θανάσης Βέγγος" and "Ταινίες Γέλιου" underneath, in handwritten script, appear one-by-one.
Variant: A color version also exists, with the background and elements of the logo tinted in pink.
FX/SFX: The zoom.
Music/Sounds: A loud patriotic horn fanfare plays at the beginning, followed by a cymbal crash, and then two weird spring-like sounds, ending with a loud bombastic orchestral note.
Availability: Seen on Thanasis Veggos films released in the time period. It has made a surprise appearance on the company's last film, Trellos kai pasis Ellados (with the colored variant).
Editor's Note: It is a favorite for people who grew up with Veggos's own films.
