RCA/Columbia Pictures/Hoyts Video Pty. Ltd. (Australia)

 Background : RCA/Columbia Pictures/Hoyts Video was formed sometime around 1983, it was obviously a joint venture between Hoyts and RCA/Columbia to distribute movies in Australia & New Zealand.

1st Logo
(1983-1988)

 Logo : On a blue/black gradient background, we see the same box from the RCA/Columbia Pictures logo, except with an extra section to accomodate the Hoyts logo (in red), and with "VIDEO PTY. LTD." replacing "INTERNATIONAL VIDEO".

 FX/SFX : None.

 Music/Sounds : None.

 Availability : On Australian PAL tapes of releases from Columbia, TriStar, Cannon, etc between 1983 & 1988. eBay.com.au or your local second-hand stores would be a good place to look.

2nd Logo
(1988-1992)

 Logo : Same as the standard RCA Columbia International logo of the era, except with the different text from logo 1.

 Variants :
 * When previews of movies are shown, after this logo plays, it fades to the silver 3D text "COMING ATTRACTIONS", which shines.
 * A still version has been spotted. This is sometimes used in tandem with the animated version.
 * A silent variant exists, presumably used as a closing variant.

 FX/SFX : Same as the standard logo.

 Music/Sounds : Same as the standard logo.

 Availability : On Aussie PAL tapes of movies from Columbia Pictures, TriStar Pictures, Orion Pictures, Cannon Films, etc.
