Logos[]
The logo.
1st logo: On a black background, three blue bars and a gray microphone fly from all over and stop in the center, forming the Epic Records logo from the time. “epic music video” all in lowercases fades in below.
2nd logo: On a black background, there are several brown boxes emitting light beams from the left and right. The camera moves forward, then rotates to the left and eases back to reveal the boxes are part of a chain forming an oval. In the middle is a silver zeppelin-like metallic object spinning. The structure reflects the light. The camera goes down and a small fireball erupts from the structure. The camera moves to the bottom and another fireball appears. It then continues to the front which shows the object saying "EPIC". The logo eases back in the middle. Lights flash through the logo and it glows. A black light surges through the other lights rapidly and one at a time. Then at the bottom, "epic music video" in gold shines itself on. The a gold box glows around the company name to border it. It looks like the Epic Records "Sunburst" logo.
3rd logo: On a black background, purple and orange lights flash. Then it backs up as "Epic" writes itself in in blue and tan. Light flashes as it writes. When it gets to the "c", it draws a streak underneath and then black bordering appears with white around it.
4th logo: On a white background, we see a red stylized text that reads "epic".
Music/Sounds[]
1st logo: A loud explosion sound.
Music/Sounds Variant[]
On the VHS version of Michael Jackson: Video Greatest Hits - History, it uses the closing song "Heal the World (7" Edit)".
2nd logo: On the first half of the logo, sounds of ominous whooshes and electricity crackling. Explosions are heard on the fireballs, and, when the black light surges, a surging noise is heard.
3rd logo: Whooshes are heard as the logo writes itself in.
4th logo: None.
Scare Factor[]
1st logo:
- Original Version: High to nightmare. That explosion sound will definitely scare more than just a few people. The sudden appearance and fast can also be jarring.
- Michael Jackson: Video Greatest Hits - History Variant: None. The music makes the logo be tamer and better than the original version. some, but it's a cool logo.
3rd logo: Low to medium; black backgrounds and whooshes may scare some.
4th logo: None; it's simple and boring.
