Logo: On a black starry space background with a red planet on the upper right corner, "DISTRIBUTED BY" zooms in from space and flies by all the way through the bottom. Afterwards a green half triangle made of several lines flies in from the bottom left and the planet moves towards the triangle. The two objects meet and the triangle revolves slightly pointing towards the screen. The merging of the items forms an "F". Below that,

in a turquoise color and shining, zooms in below the "F".

FX/SFX: The words "DISTRIBUTED BY" flying by, the triangle and circle merging and forming the "F", the company name appearing. Typical 80s animation.

Music/Sounds: Three whooshing sounds are heard, first when the "DISTRIBUTED BY" text appears, second when the "F" forms, and finally when the company name appears, which ends with a wind-blowing sound.

Availability: Extremely rare. We don't know which tapes used this logo.

Scare Factor: Low to nightmare. Dark backgrounds and whooshes don't mix well for some folks.
