Demel International Corporation/Home Video (Poland)

1st Logo (1992?-1994)
Nickname: "Action Movie Cube"

Logo: On a sunny sky with white clouds, the stacked words "Demel International Corporation" (with "Demel" in a script font) are seen zooming in from the left side to disappear at the right while rotating. The "De" in "Demel" looks bold while "mel" is outlined. When the text is about to disappear, a 3D cube appears with a dissolve effect and rotates around. There are various action movie scenes displaying on it. The cube slows down as it faces to the camera and the "De" zooms in from the cube while spinning. The "mel" writes in next to "De", which forms the "Demel" text, while the cube disappears with another dissolve effect. "INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION" appears below "Demel". The text looks stacked just like before. Finally, the stacked text "WARSZAWA AL STANÓW ZJEDNOCZONYCH 69 PAWILON C3" appears below the logo.

FX/SFX: A couple of zooming, moving and rotating CG effects. Looks good for a Polish logo at the time, but it's a bit outdated by today's standards.

Music/Sounds: A dramatic, ascending synth string note is first heard. A synthesized theme is then heard with the same strings. When "Demel" forms, more string notes are heard. We finally hear a calming 3-note theme, again, with the same synth strings.

Availability: Rare. Seen on Polish VHS releases from this company.

Editor's Note: None.

2nd Logo (1994, 1995-late 2000's)
Nickname: "Demel Lion"

Logo: On a space background, the outline of a lion is being drawn on a piece of marble. When it finishes drawing, it fills up with gold and the marble takes up the entire screen. Stars fly onto the marble and form a ring around the lion. The lion zooms out and the word "Demel" zooms out and rotates under the lion as the marble becomes bars and "INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION" or "HOME VIDEO" fade in.

Logo Variant: In the 1994 version, the music is pitched down, the text that says "INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION" doesn't fade into anything, and in the later version, some VCD releases strangely has a variant where instead of a scrolling warning, it fades out.

FX/SFX: The outline and stars.

Music/Sounds: A warbling, majestic synth fanfare.

Availability: No longer current, but it is seen on Polish VHS releases from this company.

Editor's Note: None.
