Nicknames: "Blue/Indigo/Purple S", "Creepy/Ominous S", "Eerie S", "(Another) S from Hell/of Doom", "S from Heck", "S of Final Judgement", "V of Doom's and S from Hell's Young Cousin in The Technology Industry", "Hi-Fi Stereo's and LaserVision's Younger Cousin", "That S"
Logo: On a pitch-black background, we see three sets of spherical lights curving together and combining to form an blue/indigo/purple-coloured "S" letter made out of the same coloured lines. Then underneath that, the light-blue/silver/white-coloured "SURROUND SOUND" words are appearing in a thin font.
Trivia: This logo was created by Rod Dyer Design.
Variants: On some tapes, this logo and its audio sometimes is cuting-off earlier than usual, or alternately, when this logo is cuting-off, its audio remains.
FX/SFX: The two lines combining to form the "S" letter, the "SURROUND SOUND" words appearing underneath the "S" letter.
Music/Sounds: A triangle ding, a faint sweeping sound, then a somewhat sudden "CLANG!" and an somewhat eerie, echoing female choir.
Music/Sounds Variant: On monophonic VHS tracks (ironically enough), some of the sounds, such as the sweeping sound, were omitted.
Scare Factor: Minimal to Nightmare. The eerie audio, the sudden and unexpected start, the fast-paced animation, and the overall dark atmosphere all over the place will get to a lot of first-time and unsuspecting viewers, not to mention to the fact that this logo sometimes precedes the THX "Deep Note (from Hell)" logo, so this logo will give many chills, and even bad dreams and nightmares for some, yet compared to that very infamous, unsettling and creepy as hell THX logo is really, absolutely nothing! However, this logo is quite popular among the Sony fans and it's also favourited of those who are not scared of it. For those who are used to it and/or are not affected by it, the scare factor is lowered from none to low bordering on medium. Other than that, it's a cool and nice logo.
