Vidfilm International Digital

June 25, 2002-February 4, 2003


Logo: We fade in on a greenish-white backdrop with dark green parallelograms sliding through. As the parallelograms disappear, the purple text "VIDFILM" slides across and a smaller version of it fades in. "INTERNATIONAL DIGITAL," in white, quickly slides in from the left and then slowly settles into place letter by letter over a purple box. The background fades into a normal white backdrop with a green streak blowing behind it. During this time, the parallelograms drop down and complete the logo, which also has a green line next to the letters of "VIDFILM." The logo zooms in, and we fade to black.

FX/SFX: The sliding, the logo forming.

Music/Sounds: An industrial collage including what appears to be the sound of a train, a telephone being dialed, and an electronic whistle.

Availability: Extremely rare. This is perhaps the hardest to find of all the authoring logos used by Universal in the early 2000s, as its only known appearances are on the 2003 DVD releases of Send Me No Flowers (which carries a 2002 copyright) and Car Wash. It was first shown on a 2002 Pioneer DVD release of Armitage-Dual Matrix.
