Alpha Video (UK)

(1980-83???)

Logo : On a dark blue background, a stylized greek letter "alpha" draws by itself. When it is finished, the word "alpha", in lowercase, and in an unusual font, appears.

Variant : After the normal logo, in the same blue background, the phrase "For your further enjoyment, alpha video presents". "Alpha" is stylised in a blocky font with the alpha geek letter boxed on top of the p. "Video" is also stylized, but in a less blocky font. This was also used on the box art for Intervison/Alpha releases.

FX/SFX : Basic animation.

Music/Sounds : A sample of "Telex" by Derek Scott [A harsh, droning synth tune with synthetic clunks and beeps]

Music/Sounds Variant : On the pre-cert release of The Kentucky Fried Movie, and the variant, it is silent.

Availability : Extremely rare; seen on very old UK tapes of horror films released through Intervision, particularly Dawn of the Dead.

Editor's Note : None.
