Background

This is the Australian division of Embassy Home Entertainment.

Logo (1983-1986)

Visuals: On a black background, a yellow neon star zooms out, which starts off red in its trails, and flashes, revealing the Embassy "E" in dark blue. A neon "E" zooms out much like the star, and the logo flashes, gaining a white outline and filling the star with red. "THE BIG" and "IN VIDEO" in a red Microgramma font zoom out one by one, flashing each time, as well as the star, and gaining a orange glow and drop-shadow. As they all stop, the logo's outline shines over and over with choppy cuts.

Variant: Sometimes, the logo would get sucked into the star in the X-like shape, complete with motion blur.

Technique: 2D computer animation and early CGI effects.

Audio: A four-note synthesizer tune, followed by two drumbeats, and then another set of five synth notes. This is an alternate ending to the stock track "Tomorrow's World" by Geoff Bastow.

Availability: The best place to find it is on old PBV tapes in Australia. [Examples?]
