This is one of the strangest Indian logos, or just one of the strangest logos in general.

Lightworks create a rope-patterned figure hanging mid-air. Sparks and embers fall down in the process, and we see more ropes appearing. A blurry figure comes into focus, which reads "ffc" with "australia" on the bottom right of the logo.

These tapes usually have the logo in the corner on the box.Editor's Note: Poor animation, but compared to other logos at the time, it's a lot smoother and cleaner when compared to a few others, especially Videotronic and Gaby International. The keyboard theme may also be seen as somewhat creepy.Film Polski Vision2nd Logo(1986-1990)Nicknames: "FPV", "Cheesy FPV"Logo: On a blue background, a grey rectangle with "F" in the same font as before flies in. This is followed by 2 more rectangles with "P" and "V" in a similar manner.

Film Ventures International

Video captures courtesy of Eric S. and Sagan BlobBackground: Film Ventures International (FVI) was an independent movie production and distribution company situated in Atlanta, Georgia during the 1970s founded by Edward L. Montoro. They mainly specialized in producing and distributing (mainly horror) B-movies. Montoro eventually moved FVI's headquarters to Hollywood in the late 70s after the success of Grizzly. In 1980, FVI acquired the rights to the Italian film Great White that was a blatant rip-off of Jaws. Universal Pictures filed a lawsuit against FVI and won and the film was pulled from the theaters after one week of release, which led to the company's collapse in the early 80s. Montoro took one million dollars from FVI and vanished never to be seen again. FVI officially closed its doors in 1985, filing Chapter 11 bankruptcy and later being purchased by the INI Corporation, who proceeded to package its own and acquired films to television under the Film Ventures name, complete with horrendously cheap new opening and closing credit sequences, many of which were featured and mocked on Mystery Science Theater 3000. To this day, Montoro's whereabouts remain unknown, though it is believed he fled to Mexico; It also remains unknown if he is even still alive. Today, many of FVI's films are distributed by companies such as Code Red and Scorpion Releasing. The titles, with some exceptions, are currently held in the catalog of Multicom Entertainment.1st Logo(1970s-197?)<iframe frameborder="0" height="207" src="http://wikifoundrytools.com/wiki/closinglogos/widget/unknown/9c8a75dfe56e61df7dac92037aea2d1b958f96ff" width="366"></iframe>Nickname: "The Peach"Logo: On a blue background, we see a line of Georgia Peaches scrolling down.
