Background

Euro TV was an Italian television channel launched on March 10, 1982, by former in Giornale CEO Gianni Ferrauto and Parmalat group president Calisto Tanzi. Creeated by the use of emulating the syndication of US networks, it initially had 18 local broadcasters simultaneously broadcasting identical programs six hours a day. Due to the moderate success of the broadcaster, it became a local network in battles of legal regulation of the sector. The channel closed down on September 5, 1987, and Odeon was created on the following day. After its closure, the unused station was bought out by the RE.T.E. company.

Visuals: There is a chrome "EURO", with a black map of Europe inside of the O. The Europe inside of the O is obstructed by "TV", stacked on top of each other in a wider font than "EURO". A beam of light passes onto the "TV" on top of the "O", causing it to shine. A beam of light passes through the map of Europe, and it emits four colors (red, yellow, blue and white, via prism effect). There is a light passing through the left of the logo. The colors rotate along with the beam of light.

Technique: Likely scanimate animation.

Audio: A five-note, almost 8-bit-sounding synth.
