United Communication

Logo (July 1992)

Visuals: Set on a white background is a grided picture of a dark blue vector archer with a lighter shaded background on the left, aiming for the right. The archer tilts upwards at a 45 degree angle, shooting out "United" and "Communication" to the top right. The text slide down while leaving a big gap in between for the archer, now rotated back to its initial angle, to slide in. The remainder of the background, extending up to the bow's left, slides in from the right and merges with the archer and the left half of the background. Simultaneously, the text slides to the right and enlargens. Afterwards, the trademark symbol appears below the "d" in "United" and "Une sélection" appear on the top through two copies sliding in from both directions.

Technique: Analog computer animation.

Audio: A deep synthesized bass note plays for most of the sequence. Two set of ascending piano notes are heard as the text is being formed, which moves along to a rising synthesized horn fanfare.

Availability: This logo precedes movie airings on Antenne 2 such as Lambada.
