CNV Classics

Background: Videogram was a brand of The Polyon Company sometime in 1980s. When Polyon folded in 1987 and Titan bought out its vault, they didn't use the logo until 2006, then started to put it into the re-releases of old movies (actually the starting point appeared with the films from Videogram itself). AGS Media, which inherited the Titan's portfolio, altered the name together with recently purchased Platinum Studios in 2009.

Videogram-Polyon

1st Logo

(1981 - 1987)

Nicknames: "V the Great Comb"

Logo: A strangely wide "V" fades in. The other letters fly from beyond and bumps their place, and each letter is accompanied by the line drawing effect in "V". Eight letters - eight lines inside the "V".

FX/SFX/Cheesy Factor: Looking very cheap.

Music/Sounds: Bumping and shining sounds.

Availability: Rare. Can be found only in older prints of Videogram and Polyon tapes.

Scare Factor: None.

Videogram Classics2nd Logo

(2004 - May 2008)

Nicknames: "The Return of Videogram"

Logo: Same as the 1st logo: an accurate copy of the original, even the byline "A POLYON COMPANY" being saved.

FX/SFX/Cheesy Factor: Same as the 1st logo, but now looks much better.

Music/Sounds: Same as the 1st Logo.

Availability: Extinct on TV; can be replaced with VP logo. Still intact on DVD releases during the time.

Scare Factor: None.

Videogram-Platinum Classics3rd Logo

(2008 - 2010)

Nicknames: "VP"

Logo: We move up above the glowing sky-blue line. We repeat all the turns of the line, then the camera zooms out and rotates to make the line straight. We see a construction of V and P connected together, and the camera continues to zoom out until the words of the name get in. A sun blink goes by the upper part of the P. The logo fades out.

FX/SFX: Various light effects.

Music/Sounds: Special CNV-styled music theme with embedded fanfares.

Availability: It can be found on the re-releases of old Videogram-Polyon and Platinum Studios stuff, although other companies' classics should have the CNV logo.

Scare Factor: Low.

4th Logo

(2010 -)

Nickname: "The Tag"

Logo: We see many sprouts, which come and take over all the screen, but finally the solid knot forms the oval shield, and other sprouts make the decorative letters. The logo shines.

FX/SFX: Sprouts moving, and the shining.

Music/Sounds: Some purring sounds followed by icy sparkles.

Availability: Current. It can be spotted on all classic re-releases, primarily the Titan Video, Platinum and Peakshow legacy. It also plasters the old logos.

Scare Factor: Low.
