Logos[]
1st logo (1980)[]
A blue "H" zooms out, emitting blue light rays, but the H splits up into two H's half-way the process, they place into the black background, as a blue "V" zooms out, emitting blue light rays as well. The V flashes, and then a white laser draws a rectangular outline to encase "HVH". An iris-colored striped background inside the rectangle wipes in. The glowing neon blue "HOME VIDEO HELLAS" then flips in from the left and places below the rectangle, and then turns gray. The "HVH" turns red, and logo sparkles a bit.
2nd logo (1980's-2000's)[]
We see a large white rectangle, which has smaller white squares inside of it. It moves to the right, and is tilted 45 degrees on the Z axis. We then see another rectangle of the same kind moving in the opposite direction from the bottom until it rotates, then laying flat on the screen. It zooms in to fit, and the rectangle reveals that there are many "HVH"'s inside of the squares. Another "HVH" (in bold sans-serif) zooms in while rotating, this time in a red box. The "HVH" zooms in, and the words "HOME VIDEO HELLAS" comes out from the bottom of the logo. After that, it fades out and a warning text starts scrolling, without the music being interrupted.
Variants[]
- On another variant, used on later-released VHS tapes, the font of the warning text is changed and the text itself isn't so much detailed.
Music/Sounds[]
1st logo[]
An opening snippet of the song "Fire on High" by Electric Light Orchestra, which continues throughout the warning screen.
2nd logo[]
An excerpt with chimes and strings, with the occasional timpani.
Scare Factor[]
1st logo[]
Minimal to medium, especially for those who can't stand chyron. The action in the logo, combined with the music, can be very ominous.
2nd logo[]
Minimal to medium. The chimes can be relaxing, but could unsettle some. It may be a favourite to many Greeks however, due to the music and lifespan.
