VHS Companies From the 80's -14 - BOYD'S VIDEO
CAUTION: Do not contact the number in this logo, as it is no longer in service.
Nicknames: "The most boring logo ever", "Borefest", "The King of Boring Logos", "The Cheesiest VHS Logo of All Time", "Oh Boyd", "Bottom of the Barrel", "Move 'er back, Johnny", "The Personification of all that is truly awful", "Photo Video's British Brother"
Logo: On a black background, we zoom out and see the word "boyd's" written in a 70's-esque font (called Pump TriD) with the appearance of a trail going from behind the letters to the bottom of the screen. The logo then zooms out to reveal the words "Videos & Video Films". The screen then fades to a chroma pink screen. After a few seconds, the pink fades away to the words, "Faisal's Enterprises Ltd." The screen zooms out yet again and reveals the same "boyd's" text in the same font, but it is white and there is no trailing behind it. The address and contact numbers are seen at the bottom of the screen.
Trivia: Boyd's still operates at the same address, albeit changing to "Boyd's Home Appliances" and then an electronics store.
FX/SFX: Just the zooming and backgrounds changing.
Music/sounds: When the pink screen fades away, you can hear a click. Silence otherwise.
Availability: Extremely rare. Only two tapes are known to carry this logo, which are the UK pre-cert releases of The Mandarin Magician and Puma Man. Probably seen on other pre-cert releases if possible, and possibly on some Virgin Video releases.
Editor's Note: A laughably amateurish logo that has few rivals in the community. This logo is just a camera pointing at a card, and a very poorly shot one, as it moves away from it and constantly stops prematurely. Also, if you look closely to the right when the screen is pink at the right time, you can see the cards being switched! Adding to that, it's all padded out to 56 seconds, when the logo could have easily accomplished what it was trying to in much less time. The visuals do admittedly look nice however, but that still doesn't make up for how lazy the logo itself is.
