Logos[]

1st logo (1982-1985)[]

We see parts of the bottom of a giant "K" slide up from the bottom of the screen, with the whole top half flipping up afterward. After, the K glows orange.

Variant[]

From late 1985 to 1986, the "K" zooms out, and the words "KARL-LORIMAR" (in the Lorimar font) and "H O M E   V I D E O" in a rounded font slide in.

2nd logo (1986-1989)[]

A multi-colored line of yellow/orange/red/blue with the words "HOME VIDEO" sweeps onto the screen. It straightens out, and sets itself down at the bottom of the screen. Then a whole mess of gray dust collects and converges above the bar, forming the "KARL-LORIMAR" text. Then to give it a shiny look, little stars sparkle at the letter's edges in time with the "ding ding ding" fadeout of the music.

Variant[]

From 1987-89, the text above the bar just reads "LORIMAR", and is larger to fit the width of the bar.

Music/Sounds[]

[]

None.

[]

All synths, all the time on this one. A synth sweep brings in the bar, and as the dust forms the logo, a 5 note synth melody (similar to the "V of Doom" music) plays. The music closes with a "ding ding ding..." fade out, which on some releases has a waterdrop-like sound playing underneath it.

Scare Factor[]

1st logo[]

Minimal. The huge K may put some people off, as well as the silence.

2nd logo[]

Minimal. It is a little tamer than its Australian counterpart although neither of them are likely to induce nightmares.
