Logo (1981-1983?)
This logo contains an old telephone number. Please do not try to dial it. |
Visuals: A white screen appears, which just as quickly switches to a school bus yellow screen, showing a "VU" symbol zooming in towards the screen. It has a "V" with extended bars on each side in black with a translucent outline inside it, and is connected to, and overlapping, a red, bracket-like "U" with a black outline. After it finishes zooming, almost taking up the whole screen, it shifts to the left and zooms out to let the text "VIDEO", formed by several black sections in-between much thinner bars, slide in from the right and connects with the logo. "UNLIMITED", in a black Microgramma Bold font, fades in below. The logo fades out and the bold text "PRESENT AN" in a stacked configuration, appear. "EXCLUSIVE" in a red Microgramma Bold font then appears below, followed by "RELEASE" in the same font. All the text disappears, and the logo reappears, only shifted upwards to leave room for their address in red, and telephone number in black, to fade in below. This lasts for 15 seconds before cutting to the film or a preview.
Variant: On their more "adult" titles, the logo has a different ending after the "PRESENT AN EXCLUSIVE RELEASE". Here, the logo is larger and has "MOTION PICTURES LTD" below it in Microgramma Bold as well. The copyright is all now in a black Times New Roman font and shows more legal info, including their Telex number.
Technique: Computer animation. The "MOTION PICTURES" end variant appears to be a holding card shot directly at the camera.
Audio: A cheery Moog synthesizer tune.
Availability: A victim from the pre-cert days, it can be seen on films like Cataclysm, Dark Night of the Scarecrow, The Cat and the Canary, The X From Outer Space, Magic Adventure, The Corruption of Chris Miller, Airport SOS Hijack, Victims, Surprise Attack, Fiend, and several others.
