Scary Logos Wiki

[]

(1996-2006): On a black background, we see three sets of spherical lights curving together and combining to form an S made out of indigo lines. Then underneath that, the words "SURROUND SOUND" appear in a thin font.

Variant[]

On some tapes, the logo and the music cuts off earlier than usual, or alternately, when the logo cuts off, the music remains.

Music/Sounds[]

A quiet triangle ding, a faint sweeping sound, then a loud "CLANG!" and an echoing female choir.

Music/Sound Variants[]

On monophonic VHS tracks, some of the sounds such as the sweeping sound were omitted.

Scare Factor[]

Medium to nightmare. The eerie music/sounds, sudden start and the darkness of the logo will definitely get to more than just quite a few of viewers, not to mention the fact that this logo precedes the infamous THX "Deep Note" logo on some tapes. However, it's a favorite of many Sony fans, as well as also of those who are used to seeing it and/or are not affected by it, and it's also pretty popular.
