Background

This was the second name of Videoline Productions. As with Videoline, the company released dubs of old martial arts films and B-movies. Not much else is known about it.

1st Logo (1988)

Visuals: Same as the Videoline Productions logo, except the background is blue, the border is sky blue, the television tube is lime green, and "VIDEOLINE" is replaced with the word "LETTUCE" (a play on the words "Let Us"), along with "P R O D U C T I O N S I N C" being replaced by "E N T E R T A I N Y O U I N C ." in brownish red. The word "presents" is also leaf green.

Technique: Scanimation.

Audio: Same as the Videoline Productions logo.

Availability: Seen on old dubbed martial arts films from Canada and some B-movies such as Bruno Mattei's The Other Hell and Woman Warriors.

2nd Logo (1990s?)

Visuals: There is a wallpaper-like pattern of the lime green LEY logo from before on a faded beige background. The background then fades to a midnight blue background with a large lime green LEY logo zooming in with "L E T T U C E" at the bottom of the tube and "E N T E R T A I N Y O U I N C ." below it in much smaller type.

Variant: There is also a version where the background is black and the words are white. In this version, "ENTERTAIN YOU INC." is not spaced-out.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: A '70s funk tune.

Availability: See the previous logo. It was seen on Toxic Spawn a.k.a Contamination.
