'''Logo:''' On a black space background, there is a close-up of a glass "R". It eases to the back of the screen, revealing it to be part of the word "BRENTWOOD". The "O"s in "BRENTWOOD" are interlocked, a la the Bloomingdale's and Kool Cigarette logos, and the entire logo is in a stylized font with larger letters on each end. As it zooms back, a purple box slides in turns up. The box is in the shape of an open book and it says "HOME VIDEO" in a sans font. The logo rests on the the upper center of the screen. |
