Logo (1989 - 1990)

Visuals: An orange background fades in and the text "Collins" in white, in a serif font zooms in from the bottom and backs out with a trailing effect. As the text backs out, the trail turns into sparkles. Then, the text turns black in which the orange background turns into an isosceles triangle with a border in which the colour is the darker tone, and has a shadow. An orange rectangle grows in from the centre which reads "VIDEO" in blue. A blue traingle wipes in from the bottom.

Variant: A variant exists where it reads "HOME VIDEO" instead of just "VIDEO".

Technique: 2D computer animation.

Audio: A phaser-like sound, then sparkling sounds which is followed by a deep synthesiser note. Then, a reverse cymbal plays followed by a held down C-note with drum beats.
