Video Gems

(1980-1991)
Nickname : “Fancy Green”

Logo : On a purple background, the green and white text: VIDEO GEMSPRESENTS... with “Video Gems” in a unique font and “PRESENTS...” in a fancy thin font flies in from the right, towards the center of the screen. Seconds later, it zooms away to the left.

Variants :
 * Sometimes, the logo will say “TV Gems” instead of “Video Gems”. This can be found on PAL tapes of old UK TV shows (like those on the BBC or ITV).
 * The logo may be completely still.
 * There is a variant without "PRESENTS".

FX/SFX : The flying in of the logo.

Music/Sounds : A trumpet fanfare with an echo effect, followed by a 6-note majestic synth orchestra tune at the end. The still version is silent, but on some tapes, such as Shinbone Alley, the full version is silent as well.

Availability : Seen on rare B-movies from the era.
