Video Gems

Logo descriptions by V of Doom Logo Captures by Eric S.

(1984-1996)

Video Gems Nickname: “Fancy Green”

Logo: On a blue background, “VIDEO GEMS PRESENTS...” flies in from the right, with “Video Gems” being in a weird font, and colored green, and “PRESENTS...” in a fancy thin white font, towards the center of the screen. Seconds later, it zooms away to the left.

Variants: •Sometimes, the logo will say “TV Gems” instead of “Video Gems”. This can be found on PAL VHS's of old UK TV shows (like those on the BBC or ITV). •The logo may be completely still.

FX: The flying in of the logo.

Cheesy Factor: No effort put into this whatsoever.

Music/Sounds: A trumpet fanfare followed by a 6-note majestic synth orchestra tune at the end. The still version is silent, though the full version may be silent, as well.

Availability: Seen on rare B-movies from the era.

Scare Factor: Low; the logo coming out of nowhere may startle some. None for the still version.
