Revision as of 12:17, 18 February 2019

1981-1986

Cinema International Corporation Video logo 1981

Nicknames: Cloudy Blue/Purple, Boring CIC

Logo: It is nothing more than the CIC Video logo (consisting of an odd-looking "CIC" in a very fat font with a small chain in the "I", and "VIDEO" in Aero Extended font) slowly fading in on a cloudy blue (or purple) background.

Variant: The prototype variant has no "chain".

FX/SFX: The fading in of the logo.

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: It's on (at least) PAL tapes in the United Kingdom and Germany and PAL Laserdiscs in the United Kingdom. The prototype version is usually found on tapes that have the print CIC Video logo without the chain on the packaging, such as the UK pre-cert releases of Jaws and Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan.

1986-1992, 1994

Cinema International Corporation Video 1986 logo 1

Nickname: CIC in Space

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. The "I" then flies in from the top of the screen, stopping where the chain is, the two C's then draw themselves in, starting from the bottom up to the top. All three letters are made out of metal. "VIDEO" then flies in below, stopping under the CIC logo.

Variants:

  • There is an earlier variant. Just before the logo settles in place, a white flash is seen, and the logo is now set against a light blue background.
  • 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 previews of upcoming films.

FX/SFX: The logo parts coming together, and the "morph" effects.

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.

Availability: Uncommon, as this was only used internationally. The best place to find this is in the UK. Examples include the original UK releases of The Naked Gun and Back to the Future Part II. The black 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.
