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.
