Note: Not to be confused with Genesis Entertainment.


(1980s)
Genesis Home Video (1980s)

Nicknames: "LSD Genesis", "Genesis Script"

Logo: It starts off with a 2D shadow image of palm trees on mountains at sunrise. On the bottom of the mountain are the words "BEST IN ENTERTAINMENT" (I think). We rise up, and an image of a silver sphere fades in, while the sunrise background turns pink. The background then dies down to reveal the deep carmine pink slanted text "Genesis" in cursive font (gee, how many other logos have cursive-font text that's slanted? :-D), over a small "Home Video, Inc." (also in deep carmine pink), and the sphere becomes more visible. Yellow smoke then comes puffing out at us as the phrase "THE NEXT WAVE IN ENTERTAINMENT" immediately appears. Finally, the background becomes a mixture of orange, pink, and green, in lava-lamp form, much like how you see the Sony Computer Entertainment logos on the PSP and the PS3.

FX/SFX/Cheesy Factor
: Ugh... too many to describe, from the cheap, 2D image of the trees and mountains, to the logo forming into multi-colored lava, as if it looked like what you'd see if you were on LSD. Not to mention the awful jingle...

Music/Sounds
: ...which consists of a "BOOM!" sound, what sounds like a bomb dropping, and a long, synthesized "hum" sound similar in the 80s PolyGram Video logo.

Availability: Very hard to find, so you might as well check eBay or Amazon to find a tape with this logo. Examples include Christmas Evil and Night of Horror.

Scare Factor: Medium to nightmare; the animation is awful and the music is creepy.
