Castle Hendring (UK)

Background
This was a joint venture between Castle Home Video and Hendring Limited.

(1988-1990)
Logo: The background is split into 2 sections, the top being black and the bottom being dark blue. "CASTLE" slides up from the split between them, while "HENDRING" slides down from the bottom of it. 3 red triangles then appear one by one in sync to the music, located beside "CASTLE" and flashing when they appear. A turquoise rectangular border then fades in all around the logo, as it gains a shadow effect.

Variant: There is a long version, in which much of the Hendring logo is shown. When the red play button is pushed, however, the bars close up the screen and the normal logo plays. The full music plays in this variant.

FX/SFX: The sliding words, the triangles appearing, the rectangle fading in.

Music/Sounds: An abridged version of the Hendring music, which starts with the long droning tone.

Availability: Very rare. Seen on various children's cartoons and concert videos during the time.

Editor's Note: None.
