Goskino USSR (Soviet Union/Russia)

Note: The name needs verification. The name was translated from the capture of the logo itself, so chances of another name being used would be probable.1st Logo

(1980's-1989?)

Logo: On a pink-ish background, a logo consisting of appearing rectangle layers and a logo consisting of a four-pointed star with "Видео" in middle of it, surrounded by a TV tube border, flips in while zooming. The logo stops flipping and stands there for a few seconds. Below the logo there's "ГоскиноСССР" (USSR State Committee for Cinematography) and there's a blue trail behind the logo. The rectangle layers and trail then flip out, leaving the logo alone. It then fades out.

FX/SFX/Cheesy Factor: Cheap computer graphics, as expected from the Soviet era.

Music/Sounds: A cheap synth theme.

Availability: Seen on Soviet VHSs of cartoons and movies, which are very difficult to find, because VHS-players were very expensive.

Scare Factor: None.

Logo: TBA

FX/SFX/Cheesy Factor: The logo's still done with cheap computer techniques, although the concept has really improved this time.

Music/Sounds: TBA

Availability: See 1st logo.

Scare Factor: Low.
