1st (known) Logo
(Early 1980s)


Nickname: "Lights on Crown"

Logo: We fade in to a giant gold crown on a black background. The crown has nine spikes on it, each with a little circle on top with a letter inside it. The first row of four circles already has the word "KING" inside it. "Of" then appears in a cursive font while yellow lights flash in the letters of the word "VIDEO", in the next row of five circles. "PRESENTS" then fades in below the crown, and a light bounces to random letters in the text of the logo, as if you were watching the light bounce around on the Press Your Luck board.

FX/SFX: The animation, which is very late '70s/early '80s Scanimation/CGI.

Music/Sounds: A triumphant horn fanfare, along with an announcer saying "King of Video is proud to bring you the following motion picture on videocasette.".

Availability: Ultra-rare; might want to check eBay or Amazon or a used video store to find the logo. One tape that has this logo is Touch of Satan.

Editor's Note: None.
