Logo (1989-1991)

Visuals: The logo starts by fading into a VHS tape, marked with a red triangle with a grid pattern on it, flying through a red plain, with a clear sky and grey pillars surrounding it, and a white VHS player in the distance. The tape swerves around the space as the camera follows suit, flying through until it reaches the VHS player, which the camera lifts up to reveal that there's a transparent window showing off the text "DMS" in a geometric, Pac-Man-esque font. and "LIMITED" below in spaced out letters. Finally, the tape goes inside of the player as the camera zooms into the newly-formed logo, as a shadow casts itself off the triangle and the logo freeze-frames.

Technique: CGI done on an Amiga computer.

Audio: A rising synth tom-tom sound and a three-note synth fanfare with bass backing plays. When the triangle casts a shadow, there is a gong sound followed by a twinkling sound.

Audio Variant: At the end of most VHS titles, the twinkling sound heard at the end of the logo holds on for a few more seconds before fading out completely.

Availability: This can be found on all Professor Playtime and Rat-A-Tat-Tat tapes from the company.

-Logo: On a red 3D plain with a blue sky and grey pillars on each side, there is a VHS with a grid-textured triangle flying through black skyscrapers and a VCR at the end. The VHS heads into the VCR, which has "DMS" in a Pac-Man font and "LIMITED" in a spaced out font. The triangle then casts a shadow.

-Music/Sounds: A rising synth tom-tom sound and a 3-note synth fanfare with bass backing plays. When the triangle casts a shadow, we hear the gong sound followed by a twinkling sound afterwards.

-Editor's notes: This goes way off the charts! The lackluster CGI, weird music, and other elements combine to make 100% real cheese - the logo itself is criticized by a few as being made on an Amiga computer while on a budget - think of Dire Straits' "Money for Nothing" music video - created by Ian Pearson and Gavin Blair
