NEC Avenue (Japan)

Background : NEC Avenue was a home video distributor of NEC Electronics Co, Ltd. ​​​​​​

(1980) ​​​​​​



Logo : On a zooming space background, several white blocks flash in and glow, forming a conjoined "AV", looking like something from a 8-bit console. It then become carbon black with pink in the spaces. The "AV" then rotates and zooms in, leading through a tunnel of pink lines as a ball flies through and then disappears in front of a wormhole tunnel made of blue squiggles. More balls of light fly in as pink and magenta 3D blocks fly in. As they form into place, a trail of "NEC" appears from the top while "AVENUE" comes in from the bottom, all before straightening and retracting into the white words. The "AV" from before then shines into a white version of the logo, with the pink and magenta filling in the spaces.

FX/SFX : The blocks appearing, the wormhole effect, the logo forming.

Music/Sounds : An futuristic synth tune.​​​​​​​

Availability : Might be found on a Japanese VHS of the infamous Troll 2.

Editor's Note : The space animation along with the music could be unsettling for a few. Other than that, the music is actually quite nice.
