MTC Video (Greece)

1st Logo

(1982-1990)

Nickname:"SuperVideo's Greek Brother", "Greek Fire Alarm"

Logo: On a blue background, many yellow letters and outlines are seen in extreme close-up and warp into the BG. As the progress slows down, the outlines and letters stop warping, forming the logo.

FX/SFX: The logo warping.

Cheesy Factor: The Scanimate effects are very outdated, and so is the music, which has been stolen.

Music/Sounds: A short version of the ATC ID from 1979, but the pitch is higher by 8 semitones and sped up.

Availability: Seen on Old Greek VHS tapes.

Scare Factor: Medium to high. The Scanimate effects and the music can scare more than a few, but the plagiarism of the music may cause laughs.

2nd Logo

(1990-????)

Logo: On a space background, three red lines from thinnest to thickest fly in and flash and settle. A giant blue 3D object flies in rotating 360 degrees. At it's middle point, the object flips to it's top and rotates 90 degrees, revealing it's MTC text from before but thinner. The logo flashes, becoming metallic and "video" in white is wipe in by a light. A large blue streaked border is wiped in. The border disappears and two blue boxes with white outlines appear behind the logo, The MTC logo turns sky blue, and the stars disappear. The logo zoom in.

FX/SFX: Early CGI.

Cheesy Factor: The 2D effects reeks age and there is almost no 3D effects!

Music/Sounds: A funky rock tune. Unknown if the music is releated to NewCannon.

Availability: Seen on Old Greek VHS tapes. Also spotted on some Greek Inspector Gadget tapes. If you do not live in Greece, go there and find a tape with a MTC print on it.

Scare Factor: Low. This is much better than the last one.
