Videoring (Germany)

Logo description by: MariluHennerArtist45Video courtesy of: czar7474Background: Videoring was a German video company founded by Paul Mockel around the late 70s. They were first known to distributing music videos around Germany around the late 70s. In 1980, they started selling videocassettes in Scandinavia, UK, Ireland, and other European countries.(1979-1981)Logo: We see many colorful, kaleidoscopic wallpaper-like designs rapidly change and zoom-in towards the screen. When the colors all freeze, the image breaks into lots of green wavy lines dispersing to all directions of the screen on a turquoise/yellow/white lava lamp-like background, which fades-out to reveal a magenta background with a sliding green eclipse. As the eclipse slides away in a circle shape, the Videoring logo appears. The logo consists of the word "Videoring" in a giant futuristic font where the right stem of the "V" and the leg of the "g" form a ring around the word (looking similar to the Original Video logo). The logo is slightly slanted. Then, it fades out and more colorful designs zoom-in towards the screen. As this happens, some blue, heliotrope and dark green wavy floors zoom-up from below and altogether, the colors morph into an aquamarine circle, which then morphs into the Videoring logo, now on a turquoise background.Variant: A still version exists where the logo is orange on a black background.FX/SFX: All the wavy color designs zooming in, the morphing effects and the lava lamp-like background, all done with heavy Scanimation.Music/Sounds: A 70's-era synthesized disco tune. The ending also is the same as the Videoklubben logo as well.Availability: Ultra rare; this was one of the first VHS distributors, and so far their latest releases date to 1981, so it'll be tough to find. Still, check video stores across Europe or look online.Editor's Note: None.

View-Master Interactive Vision

Logo description by mr3uriousVideo capture courtesy of GCIntVisBackground: Interactive Vision was an interactive VHS console game system introduced in 1988 by View-Master Ideal Group, Inc., and was advertised as "the Two-Way Television System that makes you a part of the show!". The titles included four Sesame Street games and two games featuring the Muppet Show characters, as well as a Disney game, Disney's Cartoon Arcade. The system came with a simple controller which included a joystick and three colorful buttons. As the video plays, the characters address the player directly, and ask the player to make a choice by pressing one of the buttons. The video has a number of different soundtracks recorded, and the player's choices toggle back and forth between the soundtracks, giving the impression that the player has changed the course of the story.(1988)<iframe align="bottom" frameborder="0" height="186" src="http://wikifoundrytools.com/wiki/closinglogos/widget/genericvideo/69ca44e40a5527defb9890770e887321ad35bd3a" width="329"></iframe>Logo: On a beige/black gradient background, we see three circles on the right arranged horizontally (representing the Interactive Vision's joystick buttons), colored blue, yellow, and red. A hand reaches up from the bottom left of the screen and presses the blue button, causing it to flash. The circles then fade away to the right, in which a hand pops up from the top and presses the red button, causing it to flash. The words "INTERACTIVE" in a shiny blue font fly up from the bottom of the screen to the center as this occurs, shortly followed by "VISION" in a futuristic reddish font with a blue line coming out from the right of the V. "INTERACTIVE" then arranges itself below the line as a shiny "View-Master" in its usual font zooms out from an angle toward the line. As this happens, several colored buttons fly onto the screen from the right, with one red one sticking to the top right, one yellow one sticking to the top left, and one blue one sticking to the bottom. The same hand then appears from the bottom and pushes the blue button, causing it to flash and disappear in a similar manner to a TV being shut off.FX/SFX: All the CG and live-action effects; not bad for 1988.Music/Sounds: A lively synthesized tune with synth flutes, along with "ding" sounds when the buttons are pressed and whooshing sounds when the logos come flying in. Availability: Rare; seen on the seven Interactive Vision tapes released from the time.
