Westcon Home Video (UK)

(1987-1992?)


Nickname : "Dark Map"

Logo : We see a revolving grayish-darkblue globe up close at an angle, with black land masses that have white outlines. Zooming in are the words "WESTCON", followed by "HOME VIDEO" in a metallic-blue color. The byline "A WESTCON COMPANY ©" fades in below. The map fades out.

FX/SFX : The revolving map (which is a stock animation made by Cascom Inc. which can be seen here, which was also used by Converge Video) and zooming letters. Early computer graphics.

Music/Sounds : A calm country tune performed on an electric piano with an announcer saying "The best in movie entertainment, brought to you by Westcon Home Video".

Availability : Very rare. One tape that has this is Wilderness Journey.
