1st Logo (1980s-1996) StarMakerStarMaker

Nickname: "Silver Rectangle"

Logo: We start out with a starry sky background. A silver/gray octagonal rectangle shifts up. Then "STARMAKER" in a stylized font with a line under it, but the bottom V of the M overlaps it, making it "cut open", shifts down to on the rectangle. The name then shines with pings.

FX/SFX: The animation in the logo.

Cheesy Factor: The stars look fake, and the animation is very dated, as well as the chyroned-in trademark (TM) symbol fading in.

Music/Sounds: A synth chord, then a series of synth beeps and 3 "pings" in sync with the shining.

Availability: Rare. Can be found on tapes from the period, such as budget versions of the post-1984 New World library and some tapes of TV shows, most notably Crime Story, Faerie Tale Theatre, Heathers, and Saturday Night Live, even some co-released by Video Treasures and some early Anchor Bay releases!

Scare Factor: Medium to high. The creepy music and cheesy animation may scare some.

2nd Logo (2000s) Starmaker (2000s)

Logo: On a black background, we see the print version of the previous Starmaker logo in a white box zoom in toward us. Then it stops once it's in view.

FX/SFX: The zooming of the logo.

Cheesy Factor: No effort put here.

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: Rare. Seen on one of the Shelley Duvall's Bedtime Stories DVDs.

Scare Factor: None
