Palace Pictures

Background

Palace Pictures was the film division of Palace Video founded in 1985.

(1985-1991)

Logo: In a nighttime environment, we see a palace with the text "PALACE PICTURES" in front of it, emitting a large light. As the light dies down, we see that the palace has a bit of a purplish color to it. Then, the pillars near the palace begin to glow yellow as the palace loses its purple color in favor of a balanced tone, as a shooting star streaks behind it. Then, the text "PRESENTS", in a curly font, glows onto the palace and dies down. As it fully appears, the rest of the palace fades out and becomes a silhouette.

FX/SFX: The shooting star and the glowing effects, done in 2D Animation.

Music/Sounds: A humming sound, followed by a whirring 3-note synth theme with a whoosh as the shooting star appears.

Availability: Seen on tapes and movies released by the company, mostly after the Palace Video "OR ELSE!" warning. It is seen before and after trailers (and promos), including the trailer for High Spirits, which can be found on the film's DVD release.
