Background

Logo (1994-1998)

Visuals: On a sky background with moving clouds, a pink obtuse triangle flies in from the top right, followed by a yellow scalene triangle flying in from the bottom left. They arrange themselves in the center of the screen, yellow above pink. Then, the words "Mushroom", in a black '80s script font, zooms out onto the triangles. "VIDEO" appears letter by letter via green lasers.

Technique: 2D computer animation.

Audio: A dreamy synth tune with a few "whooshes" as the triangles fly in. Some electric piano notes are heard as the lasers form the word "VIDEO".

Availability: Appears on music videos released throughout Australia.
