Laser Video

From the Audiovisual Identity Database, the motion graphics museum

Logo (1980s)

Visuals: On a black background, there are the words "LASER" in a purple connected futuristic font. Several shadows of the logo rise up from the bottom and stop at the middle. The logo and shadows turn orangish-yellow and the shadows stretch out to the top of the screen and disappear. The logo then turns to the left in a very choppy manner and zooms out with a trailing effect. The sequence then fades to a shot of a satellite dish panning upward. The Laser logo, now in magenta, zooms forth and "dissolves". The sequence then fades to a shot of the Earth in space with the logo zooming out. The screen cuts to black and the Laser logo turns orangish-yellow again and zooms forth again in a choppy manner. More shadows of the logo stretch to the bottom of the screen and disappear. "VIDEO", in a dark blue font, appears below.

Technique: Live-action, video feedback, and 2D animation.

Audio: A futuristic techno tune that sounds like Space's "Just Blue" (as heard in the Original Video logo).
