2nd Logo (early 1980s)

Logo: On a sky blue background, the caption "VIDEO BROKERS" and "PRESENTS", in Broadway font, zooms into view. The caption is filled with stock footage of (in order of appearance): the sea, a hang glider, a barking dog, a basketball match, a glider flying over sea, a cartoon, and the front of a car.
