Logo:  On a black background, we see the color-changing "PHOTO VIDEO" text in an arc shape, with various Greek text below it (Same as before with "& YIOΣ" next to Katsamoundis's name). After 5 seconds, it cuts to the logo on a space background. The logo moves away from the background, to the bottom right corner of the screen. After 20 seconds, the logo finally flies away, and we cut to live-action footage of a harbor, where the text "PHOTO VIDEO" in red, and "Katsamoundis and Son" in yellow, while the camera pans across the harbor. The logo cuts off abruptly.

Trivia : The harbor in the logo is in Rhodes, Greece.

FX/SFX : The color-changing, the background, the logo moving back.And Everything, Cheesy Factor : Sheesh! And we thought the previous logo wasn't enough! How could they have messed this up so bad? The logo is extremely dated for 1993, and since the music is the same as the previous logo, that also sounds dated. The animation is still heavily pixelated, almost looking like something out of an Atari ST game, and the fonts are very cheap. We get an extremely clear jump cut between the black background and space background. The backing away from the background is extremely slow, lasting 20 seconds (Moving back once every second.), when it could have been much quicker. If you look closely, you can see that the logo is pasted on top of the space background. Also, at the end, the harbor footage is cropped incorrectly, looking out of shape and severely wavy on the sides, possibly due to the tape deterioration. Overall, speaking more about the logo itself, this is up there with the 2003 FADYO logo! This could be a contender for the worst logo ever. Music/Sounds : Same as the first logo, but with better quality. Availability : See the 1st logo. Scare Factor : Low. The darkness and weird music are startling, especially to younger viewers and those sensitive to darkness, but you'll probably just be laughing at its extremely low quality (just like the previous logo). And for some, it's tamer (or at least better) than the previous logo.
