Scary Logos Wiki

(1980s)[]

Against a red background, 3 searchlights move randomly in each direction. A blue line appears & moves in whilst drawing an outlined rectangle, aswell as the words "Weekend video", with a glowing flare accompanying by it. Once the blue line finished drawing, it points to the dotless I, forming a blue glow against "Weekend video" and the outlined rectangle. It flashes on the I's dot, then the rectangle & text turns into a metallic look, with glowing stars.
