Logo[]
Logo 1: (1980?-1992)[]
On a black background, we see a crudely drawn version of the genie from Aladdin, with dark gray hair, and jittery expression. We also see the carpet, but is only strands of blue and yellow, and has microscopic red, orange, green, and purple stripes. On the bottom, the text, "الجني والسجاد يا صاح" in light blue, blue, gold, and red, with an "&" replacing the "و" in the logo. Below it are, "فيديو منزلي" in green. Below that and "الجني والسجاد يا صاح" is, "فضل أفلام الرسوم المتحركة على VHS العراق لهذا العرض!" flashing, in red, orange, yellow, jasmine green, green, cyan, blue, indigo, purple, orchid, and pink. Then, it cuts to the movie.
Music/Sounds[]
It's the same as the MTC Video logo.
Scare Factor[]
Minimal to High. The animation is downright cheesy, but the music is a big problem.
