Logo descriptions by V of Doom

Logo Captures by Eric S.

1st Logo: (1984-1991)

Nickname: “Fancy Green”

Logo: On a purple background, “VIDEO GEMS PRESENTS...” flies in from the right, with “Video Gems” in a unique font, outlined white and colored gold and “PRESENTS...” in a fancy thin white font, towards the center of the screen. Seconds later, it zooms away to the left.

Variants:

Sometimes, the logo will say “TV Gems” instead of “Video Gems”. This can be found on PAL VHS's of old UK TV shows (like those on the BBC or ITV).
The logo may be completely still.
There is a variant without "PRESENTS". FX/SFX: The flying in of the logo.
Music/Sounds: A trumpet fanfare with an echo effect, followed by a 6-note majestic synth orchestra tune at the end. The still version is silent, but on some tapes the full version is silent as well.

Availability: Seen on rare B-movies from the era.
