The god carries the rope on the nose of the horses, and clouds are seen from the horses' hooves. and we see a beige pedestal saying "R.M. ART PRODUCTIONS", on a red, weird-like font.FX/SFX: None.

The quiet fanfare that precedes the menacing fanfare doesn't work either good. However, it escalates with the next logo.2nd Logo(1975-1994)<iframe frameborder="0" height="206" src="http://wikifoundrytools.com/wiki/closinglogos/widget/genericvideo/2aef8c97666e529de4f918dbbaef864c01a2be33" width="364"></iframe>WARNING: This logo is very loud, Please lower your volume before watching any of the links below.Logo: On a black background, we see a silhouette.

Logo descriptions by SnowflakesOmegaBackground: RCN started out as a "programadora" (Colombian television production & distribution company) in 1967.

"RCN", stylized like before, shoots in and places next to the figure.Variants:From 1988 to 1991, the metallic sphere fades out when the word shoots in.A variant of the same version exists, but with "RCN" in 3D.From 1991 to 1998, the metallic sphere doesn't fade out, resulting in a freeze frame, the "RCN" is seen with a different 3D style and "TELEVISION" (with a shadow behind) fades in below "RCN".FX/SFX: Everything.Music/Sounds:An upbeat synthesized theme with a zap sound at the beginning, and the announcer.The logo's last years used a different synth theme.Availability: Extinct.

RDI Halcyon

Logo Description by gshowguyBackground: The Halcyon was an ill-fated laserdisc game system created by RDI Video Systems. They advertised it as revolutionary, being entirely voice-controlled and having an AI similar to that of HAL from 2001: A Space Odyssey. Physically, the system was very bulky because it comprised both a Laserdisc drive and a computer system. Only 13 units and two game titles were made; it's believed that it didn't even make it to retail.Due to the massive expense of the system, RDI declared bankruptcy soon after the attempted introduction.1st (only) Logo:(1985)<embed align="right" allowfullscreen="true" height="315" src="http://wikifoundrytools.com/wiki/closinglogos/widget/youtubevideo/3cbb634c7f905739c4ded5ddb3db028998f236b1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" wmode="transparent"/>Nicknames: "Halcyon in Space"Logo: In space, we see two orange planets, one big, and the other, small.

A laser carves in "HALCYON" in a futuristic font, colored gold, and it shines all over. Then, the background turns black, and the logo now turns into a blue outline, zooming in slightly, with a flare trail. Then the RDI logo, which is "RDI" in a typewritten font, in a box, flips up into place, and "Video Systems" writes out in an orange cursive font. The logo shines all over.FX/SFX:Great 1980s animation.Music: An ominous synthesizer tune (the first note in this logo sounds like the first note in the long version of the WXXI logo), with a synth zap sound when the laser carves "HALCYON" into the octagon, as well as a jet-like sound when "HALCYON" zooms in, with a voice whispering "Halcyon" close to the end.Availability: Originally appeared on startup when a game was loaded, but cannot be practically seen this way due to the extreme rarity of the system. However, it can be found on a Thayer's Quest DVD showing trailers for other Halcyon games that were never released.Editor's Note: None.
