1st Logo
(1987-1989)
Nicknames: "Spinning Atom", "Early CGI Atom"
Logo: We see a picture of an atom, which spins clockwise. The atom zooms in, and then the picture flashes. Two rings appear, one of them partially cut at the side. (They also represent the initials "OC") The two rings rotate to the left of the screen, where the words "RBIS OMMUNICATIONS" slide in from the side of the rings.
FX: The spinning atom, bright flash and name slide-in.
Music/Sounds: A high synthesized keyboard fanfare, with wind-type sounds in the BG.
Availability: Extinct. Was on various syndicated programs, including The Spiral Zone, and on Season 1's The Kidsongs TV Show along with the Warner Bros. Records logo. But outside of tape trading, is long gone.
Scare Factor: Minimal.
2nd Logo
(1989-1991)
Nickname: "Galaxy Beam Lights"
Logo: We start off on some random planet in the middle of some unknown galaxy. We see two beams of light hit some pink light to form the Orbis Communcations atom-shaped logo with "A Carolco Pictures Company" at the bottom of the Orbis Communications logo. After the logo forms from a yellow beam of light going left to right, we see a small beam of light coming from bottom to top and two others about the same size going from left to right.
FX/Cheesy Factor: The way the sound effect, animation, and music are made for this logo is indeed pretty cheesy.
Music/Sounds: Some electronic/electric sounds which are for the beams and lasers, and the music is a low synthesizer tune.
Availability: Extinct. Was on the 1990 revival of The Joker's Wild and the 1991 revival of The $100,000 Pyramid.
Scare Factor: Low. The way the SFX is used for the logo seems like it may startle someone, but it's an alright logo.
