File:Photo Video (1988-1993)

Description
WARNING: Do not watch the video if you are prone to epilepsy (as there are parts of the logo that can be very flashy). CAUTION: Do not call the phone number listed in the logo, as it is not in service.

Nicknames: "The Third Cheesiest Home Video Logo Ever", "The Video Game Logo", "Too Much Chyron Again", "Redundant Oxymoron Logo", "Trails from Hell", "The Inescapable Nightmare", "Fireworks, Colorful Patterns, and Lots of Photo Video", "Logo on Acid", "SuperVideo's Greek Sister"

Logo: We start off with videos of fireworks. Then we cut to some particles making patterns. The yellow and white pattern then flashes a bit until we cut to a strange gray spiral moving flashing different colors. The spiral stops moving reveals that is the logo leaving trails, which is shown as follows:

PHOTO VIDEO ΚΑΤΣΑΜΟΥΝΔΗΣ ΣΤΟΑ ΡΟΙΚΟΥ 10 ΤΗΛ. 24749-22292 ΡΟΔΟΣ

2 of the lines are either flashing colors or changing darkness and the border "shines". Then we cut to the logo on the blackground with Greek text with some of it flashing different colors are seen below the logo, shown as follows:

ΑΝΑΛΑΜΒΑΝΟΥΜΕ ΒΙΝΤΕΟΣΚΟΠΗΣΕΙΣ(WE ASSUME RECORDINGS) ΓΑΜΩΝ ΒΑΠΤΙΣΕΩΝ ΕΚΔΗΛΩΣΕΩΝ(OF WEDDINGS, IMMERSIONS AND EVENTS)

A few seconds later, we cut to another series of text:

ΦΩΤΟΓΡΑΦΙΣΕΙΣ ΕΜΦΑΝΙΣΕΙΣ (PHOTOGRAPHS AND DEVELOPS) ΜΕΤΑΤΡΕΠΟΥΜΕ ΤΑ ΦΙΛΜ SUPER 8 ΣΕ ΒΙΝΤΕΟΚΑΣΕΤΑ (WE TURN SUPER 8 FILMS TO VIDEOCASSETTES)

ΑΥΤΟΜΑΤΕΣ ΦΩΤΟΓΡΑΦΙΕΣ ΣΕ 1 ΛΕΠΤΟ (AUTOMATIC PHOTOS IN 1 MINUTE)

It then cuts to the logo alone, which then spirals around with a trail effect. The logo then stops trailing around and the background remains as a complicated mess of colors. It then finally cuts back to fireworks.

FX/SFX: All the animation (and live-action). This is the second longest logo ever, clocking in at 1 minute and 51 seconds! (Hammer Video Home logo from Argentina claims the current number 1 title at around 2 minutes)

Cheesy Factor: Way off the charts! This "logo" literally has no order, and most of the logo consists of random doodling, as if the people who made it were extremely bored due to lack if ideas. The only interesting parts of the logo (the trailing effects) are a complete eyesore, and when the logo is still, it looks like the title screen for an Atari game. The fireworks are also unnecessary, and as said before, were probably there because the makers of this logo had no creative juices flowing. It has primitive animation, apparently done on an old computer like the Apple II. The animation is more like a twisted arcade game than anything else. The logo also shows up possibly hundreds of times accounting for the weird trailing segments. The music, while perfectly fitting for the logo, seems super low-budget, and not necessary for a home video logo. All in all, this logo has nothing done right, and is one of the cheesiest home video logos ever. However, things get even worse with the next logo...

Music/Sounds: A weird analog synth theme, which is actually "Equinoxe, Pt. 5" by Jean Michel Jarre. It appears to be higher-pitched than normal. The quality of the logo is so bad that you can barely hear the song.

Availability: Extremely rare, probably extinct. Seen on old home memory VHS tapes of the time. Go to Greece and check charity shops for tapes for Photo Video's logos on them.

Scare Factor: Minimal to high, mostly due to the excessive trailing and strange music that can represent a nightmare very well, but it isn't the worst logo around. It's just cheesy. This logo is an absolutely horrific contraption. However, some people would manage to fall asleep through it due to its long length.
