Video Box Office (Australia)

Logo description and capture by kidinbed and PAV123Logo video courtesy of Logo ArchiveBackground: Video Box Office was a subsidiary of RCA/Columbia Pictures-Hoyts Video.1st Logo(1988-1996)<iframe frameborder="0" height="230" src="http://wikifoundrytools.com/wiki/closinglogos/widget/unknown/cdee5a7d05282242af4e7fcdf6775ddbf80679fc" width="306"></iframe> Nickname: "Clapperboards and Filmstrips" Logo: On a black background, several filmstrips roll in from all different sides of the screen, all of them in different colors. When they all interlock with each other, a black clapperboard zooms up. It has black and yellow stripes along the clapper section, along with a chrome outline and the stacked chrome text "VIDEO BOX OFFICE", which has a few still pings. The filmstrips continue to roll until they fade out, where the clapper claps. "THE POWER TO ENTERTAIN" then flips in below in white.Variant: At the beginning of tapes, the clapper claps a 2nd time, causing the text to change to "COMING SOON".FX/SFX: Everything. Not bad for 1988.Music/Sounds: The sound of the filmstrips rolling can be heard when they're onscreen, in which a whoosh and a cymbal crash can be heard when the logo zooms in. A synth drone then plays throughout the rest of the logo, with the sound of a clapper, another whoosh for the text flipping in, and a louder drone at the end. Another clapper sound is heard at the beginning.Availability: On old Aussie tapes of the era. <a class="external" href="http://www.ebay.com.au/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="Ebay.com.au">Ebay.com.au</a> would be a safe bet. The company mainly distributed B-Movies as well as HBO fare. One tape that had this was RoboCop 3.Editor's Note: None.2nd Logo(1997-1999)Nickname: "Clapperboard in 3D"Logo: On a purple fog background, 4 golden filmstrips fly in from all directions, with clips of movies appearing inside of them. The clapperboard from before, but with the text in a cote-out form, slowly swings in as gold light emerges from the text. As it rotates towards the screen, the filmstrips fly away and the clapperboard flashes, forming the text in silver blue. Sparkles appear on the text.Variant: At the beginning of tapes, "Coming Soon" in a plain font slides in letter-by-letter.FX/SFX: The filmstrips, the clapperboard.Music/Sounds: A low-sounding whoosh at the beginning is heard, along with several glass sounds. A ambient synth starts to play before one last whoosh plays.Availability: Rare. Seen on Australian prints of Double Team and Very Bad Things.Editor's Note: None.
Video Cassete do Brasil (Brazil)

Logo descriptions by SnowflakesOmega1st (known) logo(1980s)Logo: The logo begins with a blue background that quickly transitions into black, where a curved oval logo is shown flashing while a computer-rendered drawing of an astronaut in a rocky surface is seen below. A spaceship moves into the center, before a blue screen with the superimposed text "VideoCassetedoBrasil" appears which then vanishes through an ellipse effect. When the said screen disappears the spaceship is shown below near the astronaut. The astronaut transports into the spaceship thru a grainy light effect while the chyroned text "APRESENTA" scrolls up. The spaceship moves quickly to the right side before disappearing, while the rest of the screen is filled in light-blue leaving a shadow behind "APRESENTA". The logo finishes with a transition to the blue screen shown at the beginning of the logo.FX/SFX: Typical low-budget effects from the time.Music/Sounds: A spacey synth brass fanfare with whooshing sounds.Availability: Seen on distributed VHS copies of European and local Brazilian films from the 70s/80s.Editor's Note: This is one of the worst South American logos discovered by the logo community, due to the cheap computer visuals, weird transitions, and epileptic-inducing visuals at the beginning, comparable to the Argentinian logos from the time (the music isn't too shabby, though).

"VCI of Cheesiness".Logo: We see a black background with stars rapidly shooting forth in a "spiral" motion. Then, it quickly fades to a rapidly zooming star field. Then, two yellow-orange light trails with "VCI" written on them in threes (also in yellow-orange) zoom out from the center of the screen to the top and bottom. Finally, an yellow-orange "VCI", written in a 3D "blocky" font surrounded by a hexagonal frame, zooms up from the bottom via a "rainbow trail" effect. As the star field fades out, the logo sparkles several times, and the text "VIDEO CITY INTERNATIONAL" wipes in below in yellow-orange, followed by some text written in Greek (possibly VCI's address and phone number). Then, the logo stops sparkling.FX/SFX: The starfield and chyron trails.Music/Sounds: A low-budget rendition of the Star Wars theme.Availability: Seen on old Greek tapes from the period.Editor's Note: None.2nd (alternate) Logo(1980s)Logo: On an orange background, a blue object is seen "rippling". After a bit, it stops "rippling", coming together to form the VCI logo from before. The name,address and phone number from before, this time chyroned over it, appears as the logo backs up a bit.FX/SFX: The Scanimated logo "rippling". Pretty cheap, but it's not as bad as the 1st logo. At least they actually attempted a original theme this time.Music/Sounds: A dramatic and majestic fanfare.Availability: Same as before.Editor's Note: None.

The pictures inside the filmstrip show Charlie Chaplin with a cane and a hat. The filmstrip starts to scroll up, increasing in speed. Then, we see a picture of the same man with a cane with an old 1950's TV next to him on the same color background, zooming to us. He uses his cane to turn on the TV, causing the word "CLICK" to appear above it in very small letters, and static comes up on the screen. Then, the screen shows a white background of that same man with "VIDEO CITY PRODUCTIONS" above him, and "PRESENTS" below him, (both in yellow) zooming in. 1970's-esque rainbow color outlines on him appear one-by-one, taking up the entire screen, then changing color.FX/SFX: The filmstrip, Charlie Chaplin turning on the TV with his cane, the screen zooming in, the appearance of the colors.Music/Sounds: Starts out with a sound of a film projector as the filmstrip scrolls, then a silent film-style piano tune as Chaplin by the TV is seen, then sounds of static are heard when the TV goes on, and then a rock tune plays with a woman whispering "Video City" over and over, then the tune descends.Availability: Very rare; VCP tapes have been long out of print.Editor's Note: None.

A light then emerges from it and spreads out to reveal "ViDEOFORm" in a white futuristic font with the "V" in the same design as the giant one. In the bottom right part of the text is either "PiCTURES" or "mUSiC" in the same font.

The lines are arranged in a straight line pattern which drops down from the top of the screen. The lines disappear when the silver words "VIDEO GEMS" slide in from the left and right sides of the screen respectively. The "V" in video and "G" in gems appear to be larger than the other letters.
