Logo : Against a static image of a starfield, we see a picture of the Earth fly from the lower left to the top of the screen. This is followed up by a poorly cut-out image of what is presumably another Earth fly from the lower right to the top of the screen. This is then followed up by what looks like a galaxy or a star going supernova (It looks more like some kind of marble) fly from the bottom of the screen to the middle, where it explodes. Once the explosion recedes, a reddish-yellow line with trails of red light begins to draw itself into existence, drawing itself into the shape of an elephant's head. Once it is drawn, a golden ring instantly appears behind the elephant, gleams, and then the whole thing zooms out, the words "GOLUMBIA VIDEO" appearing to the left and right of the elephant's head, the distributor's address and contact information appearing beneath it, like this:

144 KENNEDY ROAD, BRAMPTON, ON L6W 3G4

Tel: (905) 456-8433

Fax: (905) 456-8281

FX/SFX : 16-bit-ish animation.

Music/Sounds : The earth's zooming past are accompanied by some kind of futuristic whooshing noise, the marble-nova is punctuated by a descending whistle like a firework has been launched, and the explosion is about as stock as you can get. A rock-like base line plays whilst the elephant's head is drawn in, and the same explosion noise is played when the ring appears, followed by a low rumbling.

Availability : Ultra rare if you live anywhere outside Brampton, as this is a local video rental store in the area. The logo was seen on a DVD copy of Talaash.

Editor's Note : The animation is beyond shameful, as it could pass more for a Nineties Flash animation than something made in the 2010s. The picture and sound quality are also reminiscent of a VHS tape.
