From the Audiovisual Identity Database, the motion graphics museum


1st Logo (1983-1990s)


Visuals: On a sky blue background with shimmering water below, a dark blue compass flies down and eases in towards the screen. Soon it stops, the water disappears and below "ODYSSEY" in white fades in below.

Variants:

  • The logo was used in a still for previews. It is upward and smaller with "OTHER TITLES FROM OUR CATALOGUE" in white below.
  • A textless variant exists.

Technique: Analogue 2D animation with live-action elements.

Audio: A synth rendition of the first portion of Gounod's "Ave Maria", which is a soothing tune with the sound of waves washing ashore when the compass moves.

Availability:

  • Seen on releases from the UK such as The Cartier Affair, That Sinking Feeling, Christmas on Division Street and Dennis the Menace: Dinosaur Hunter (released in the UK as Just Dennis).
  • It is also intact at the beginning of Amazon Prime Video's print of Act of Will.
