Sony Music Departement Video (France)

(1990s)
Logo: On a smokey background, we see a glass globe and its reflection on a glass surface. It then zooms out to reveal that it is placed on a glass triangle, on which we can read “Sony Music”, with the globe in place of the “o” in “Sony”. The globe shines, and turns into an “o”. The triangle then rotates to reveal it has three layers. The triangle shines on the right side and zooms toward us. When the triangles stop zooming, we can read the following text:

Sony Music Departement V I D E O

The “o” of “Video” shines on the top left side. After a few seconds, the screen fades to black.

FX/SFX: The globe, the shining of the globe, the triangle rotating and zooming, and the other glow.

Music/Sounds: Two extended synth notes at the beginning, followed by another extended synth note, a 6-note synth melody heard along with other extended synth notes which sound like orchestra hits.

Availability: Ultra rare, even possibly bordering on extinct. You can find it on French DVDs of Fraggle Rock and Once Upon a Time... Man or French VHS tapes for sure. Otherwise it's unknown.

Editor's Note: None.
