Background: Atlantic-Vision Entertainment was a subsidiary of Atlantic Records.


1st Logo
(1987-1990)


Nickname: ''The A and the Fan''

Logo: On a black background, a flash brings forth four spheres of light which move to all 4 sides of the screen. They move to form a box, which reveals the letter A and a "fan" via a Venetian blind effect. Another sphere of light places a line under the A and the "fan". As the word ''ATLANTIC'' appears via a Venetian blind effect, the background turns into a blue-black gradient and a (R) trademark symbol appears to the upper right of the "fan". A small flash of light brings forth the word ''VIDEO'', coloured tannish brown.

FX: Great animation.

Music: None.

Availabilty: Rare, seen on releases of the period.

Scare Factor: Minimal.

2nd Logo
(1990-1990s)
Nickname: "The Atlantic Fan Logo"

Logo: On a black background, a dot flies by, and we see a box rising up and expanding into a box with a border between "A VISION" and "E N T E R T A I N M E N T". Between "A" and "VISION" is a fan spinning. A dot then applies to the fan, forming the familiar Atlantic Fan logo.

FX: The box expanding, the fan spinning.

Music/Sounds: A strange synth theme, then a "thunk" sound when the dot gets to the fan.

Availability: Seen on all Atlantic-Vision tapes.

Scare Factor: Low.
