Video City Productions

1st Logo (1982-1991)
Nicknames: "Charlie Chaplin with a Cane", "Psychedelic Charlie Chaplin"

Logo: On a background, we see a filmstrip scrolling up. The pictures inside the filmstrip show Charlie Chaplin with a cane and a hat. The filmstrip starts to scroll up, increasing in speed. Then, we see a picture of the same man with a cane with an old 1950's TV next to him on the same color background, zooming to us. He uses his cane to turn on the TV, causing the word "CLICK" to appear above it in very small letters, and static comes up on the screen. Then, the screen shows a white background of that same man with "VIDEO CITY PRODUCTIONS" above him, and "PRESENTS" below him, (both in ) zooming in. 1970's-esque rainbow color outlines on him appear one-by-one, taking up the entire screen, then changing color.

FX/SFX: The filmstrip, Charlie Chaplin turning on the TV with his cane, the screen zooming in, the appearance of the colors.

Music/Sounds: Starts out with a sound of a film projector as the filmstrip scrolls, then a silent film-style piano tune as Chaplin by the TV is seen, then sounds of static are heard when the TV goes on, and then a rock tune plays with a woman whispering "Video City" over and over, then the tune descends.

Availability: Very rare; VCP tapes have been long out of print.

Editor's Note: Many have found this logo weird for its psychedelic second half.
