Multivision Video (Italy)

1st (known) Logo (Mid 1980's-Early 1990's) Nicknames: "Explosion in Space", "MV of Doom", "That's Not An M, It's Three I's!", "Did Something Burst Up?", "3-G Home Video's Italian Brother"

Logo: Against a moving blue space background, an explosion occurs. A segmented trapezoid flips into place, which looks like an "MV" formed by three lines and an upside-down triangle, while "MULTIVISION" flips horizontally. Both parts of the logo slide off-screen to the right ("Multivision" coming a few seconds after the trapezoid does), and "presenta" wipes in. Seconds later, it too, slides to the right, and we cut to black.

FX/SFX: The explosion (which seems to be live-action), the trapezoid, and the text flipping into place...

Cheesy Factor: ...which are typical '80s computer effects, but they're not that bad. The "M" also looks like three "I"s standing next to each other.

Music/Sounds: A loud explosion sound.

Availability: Seen on Italian PAL releases of Cannon movies.

Scare Factor: High to nightmare, mostly due to the very abrupt explosion (as well as it's brightness and loud volume), dark blue color scheme, and lack of any other sound playing after. This may even bring people bad dreams about the 3-G Home Video logo!
