Vestron International Group

Background
By January 1988, Interaccess Film Distribution was rebranded as Vestron International Group. The company as a whole went defunct by 1992, likely being done in by Live Home Video's acquisition of Vestron Inc., including Vestron Video and Vestron Pictures.
Logo (1988?-1990?)
Visuals: On a black background, a small red sphere zooms into view. Zooming towards the sphere are several silver lines, forming a silver "V/Triangle" on the sphere. The sphere settles near the top of the screen and flattens into a circle. Zooming in below it are the words "VESTRON INTERNATIONAL GROUP" in a modified Iconian Fonts' Tigershark font.
Variant: Sometimes, "PRESENTS" in the same font used in the Vestron logo, appears below the logo.
Technique: CGI. The logo was animated and designed by Jan Carlee, Christine Chang, and Ken Pelin (among others) at R/Greenberg Associates. All three were previously a part of the special effects team for the original TRON movie.
Audio: Either silence or the opening music of the film. One trailer for Class of 1999 used the second half of the Vestron Television fanfare.
Availability: Seen on a trailer for Catchfire (aka Backtrack) that was found on a UK VHS of Presumed Innocent. Also seen on a trailer for Class of 1999, which can be found on the Lionsgate/Vestron Blu-Ray of said title. The "PRESENTS" version was seen on a German VHS as well as a UK Movie Mix airing of Farewell to the King.
