CNR Video (Netherlands)

1st Logo (1983-1993)

Logo: We first see an all white background which then fades to black. Then 12 white bars (sans the second one which is red) appear one by one. Then the text "CNR VIDEO" in a white rounded font with a red shadow flies in from below as every other bar fades out and settles in the middle.

Variant: Sometimes, the logo takes place on a black/blue gradient background, the animation of the lines is wiped in by a clear plate, and rather than the text, a blue elegonated marquee with a turquoise shadow with 3 stripes (yellow/orange/red) and the text:

CNR VIDEO in yellow swoops in and "PRESENTERT" in light blue appear one by one.

FX/SFX: The bars, the text.

Music/Sounds: Starts with a "ding", then a very 80s-esque synth-pop tune plays, with an electric piano sounder in the middle.

Availability: Spotted on Dutch VHS releases from the company.

Editor's Note:None.

2nd Logo (1993-1995)

Nickname: "Spinning Blue Star"

Logo: We cut to a blue star against a black background. About two or three seconds in, the star spins slowly. The same marquee from before fades in. They both zoom in slowly, and "CNR VIDEO" from before, this time colored indigo, fades in.

FX/SFX: The spinning star, the logo moving and text fading in.

Music/Sounds: Same as before.

Availability: Seen on Dutch PAL and SECAM releases from the period.

Editor's Note: None.

3rd Logo (1995-2000)

Logo: On a blue/red toned picture of glitter, two shining red and light blue rectangles with "CNR FILM & VIDEO", in yellow and sky blue, on them slide in and then stop perpendicular to each other. The warning appears by a particle effect for about 10 seconds. After the 10 seconds, the warning disappears with the same particle effect and the 2 rectangles meet up below with the light blue rectangle in the middle of the screen. It keeps shining until it fades out.

Variant: Another version of this logo replaced the purple section of the logo with gray. The light blue rectangle is now dark gray with grey text and the positions of the rectangles are switched. The copyright notice is now in a square with a yellow outline with no particle effect. The red rectangle also replaces the opposing one in the middle and the animations are switched.

FX/SFX: The rectangles, along with the shining and copyright warning effects.

Music/Sounds: Same as before.

Availability: Spotted on later releases from the company.

Editor's Note:None.
