Telehit (Poland)

1st Logo (1990s)

Telehit (1995)

Nicknames: "Gold TH", "Music Notes and Filmstrips", "Prehistoric Gold"

Logo: On a black background, several yellow music notes and filmstrips flip towards the screen, with the filmstrips having a golden, connected "Th", with the bottom having a slope to it. Among these is an yellow eighth note. After all the things fly away, the eighth note remains and transforms into the "Th", but in yellow. It then quickly becomes the golden variant and "telehit" appears on the upper right side of it.

FX/SFX: Very dated 2D animation, even for the time period.

Music/Sounds: A four-note synthesizer tune, rising with each note. Each note appears to have a reverb effect, along with a small tune during the third note and one final bang at the end.

Availability: Extremely rare. Seen on Polish tapes released at the time.

Editor's Note:The shoddy animation that resembles Microsoft DOS for the flipping.The gold on black color scheme, along with the music and the uncanny end result may also scare some. 2nd Logo (1990s)

Nicknames: "Gold TH II", "Rainbow VHS Box", "Prehistoric Gold II"

Logo: On a black background, a large rainbow-colored rectangle stretches upwards from the very bottom of the screen, which then condenses into a box shape. The yellow text "telehit" then appears on it at the top, and "VHS" in white appears on the bottom right corner, bridging it together. It then strightens up and rotates around one time, revealing the other side has the positions of the text switched, and then the box stops at an angle like before. The box then slides off to the right, revealing the "th" logo from before except its all flat and has a more noticeable curve to it. The logo shines.

FX/SFX: Primitive 3D animation.

Music/Sounds: Same as before.

Availability: Extremely rare. Seen on other Polish tapes released at the time.

Editor's Note: Once again, the logo is made with a cheap 3D engine (and you can see a tip of the box poking out at the end), but at least it has some smooth animation. Like before, the music and color scheme may scare some, but it doesn't have that wierd end logo.
