Then, the CIC Video logo would zoom in again towards the viewer.

#MTV INTRO FLASH FULL#
Suddenly, the CIC logo turns full color (that is, blue and white) and zooms up, taking up the entire screen. Closing: We start off with the white flash disappearing, Then we see the chrome filmstrip with 3 boxes in it.On Chilean tapes released by Video Chile, a voiceover is used. The screen is then taken up by a white flash. We then see the word "PREVIEWS" or "PREVIEW" in gold or sliver scrolling past. The left has an engraved Paramount logo (Gulf+Western) in it, the middle box has an engraved CIC Video logo in it, and the box on the right has an engraved Universal logo in it (a wireframe globe inside a stylized U with "UNIVERSAL" below).

Opening: The 2nd CIC logo forms and turns blue, it zooms out onto the scrolling filmstrip and "dissolves" into itsrespective space.It was also spotted at the beginning of the Brazilian VHS release of Dark Angel: The Ascent (1994), a Full Moon film released by Paramount, with the 5th logo appearing afterwards. Weirdly enough, it was spotted at the end on a late 1990s TNT airing of American Graffiti with the movie's end theme playing over. Other releases to have this include Back to the Future Part III, Ghost, Kindergarten Cop, Top Gun, Twins, The Naked Gun 2 1/2, Coming To America, The Godfather Part III, Beverly Hills Cop II, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, The Hunt for Red October and Stepping Out, among others. The blue background variant with the marquee appears on some tapes from the era such as the original UK retail releases of Saturday Night Fever and Back to the Future. This logo may also come after a home video logo from that country (such as AVH in Argentina, HVH in Greece, and ITI in Poland). Tapes in Asia and Africa may have this logo, too. One tape that had the blue background variation was Police Squad: Volume One. Examples include the original UK issues of The Naked Gun and Back to the Future Part II. Best place to check is in a place like Europe, Australia, or South America. Music/Sounds: An ascending synth-choir note, ending with 4 synth notes that rise in pitch (sounding like 'doo-doo-doo-doo') and a loud hit.Īvailability: Uncommon, as this was only used internationally. Some blue background variants have the logo zooming out to the top as a light blue marquee with white lines fades in below reading "GREAT FILMS", along with "from the Hollywood studios of PARAMOUNT & UNIVERSAL", which would lead into sneak previews of upcoming movies.įX/SFX: The logo parts coming together, and the "morph" effect.

This was only seen on some South American videos as the beginning of a short promo to commemorative 1,000,000 copies of CIC Videotapes sold. One variant has the CIC Video logo (blue background version) "morph" into the Paramount logo, which them morphs into the Universal logo.This variant is more common in Australia, Brazil, and Argentina. Sometimes, only the still logo is seen, like on some Japanese tapes and LaserDiscs, as well as VHDs (basically the country's version of CED). Just before the logo settles in place, a white flash is seen, and the logo is now set against a light blue background."VIDEO" then flies in below, stopping under the CIC logo. All three letters are also made of metal. The "I" then flies in from the top of the screen, stopping were the chain is, the two C's then draw them self in, starting from the bottom up to the top. Logo: Set against a black-blue gradient background, we see the three pieces of the chain fly from the edges of the screen, forming the chain.
