Virgin Music Video
Logo description and capture by kidinbed
Editions by YingYong and WizardDuck
1st (and possibly only) Logo
(Late 1980's)
Nickname: "Virgin Check Sign", "Another V of Doom", "Scary V", "Cheesy V", "VMV"
Logo: We see a V-shaped triangle that looks like a disco ball. There is an abstract M sitting below, on a black floor with white spots. The V-shaped triangle spins down quickly into the M-shaped piece, and when the triangle hits the M, the resulting rectangle "jiggles". The "V" from the Virgin logo, in magenta, is drawn over the rectangle, and the words "VIRGIN", "MUSIC", and "VIDEO" appear separately in a Futura-like font. The logo shines a bit.
FX/SFX: Everything is in CGI...
Cheesy Factor: ...which looks a bit primitive for the time period. Also, the animation of the check is very choppy. The cartoony "jiggling" animation looks very out of place as well.
Music/Sounds: A loud and ominous electronica synth fanfare with horns when the check is animated.
Availability: Rare; appears on music videos of the period, mostly PAL releases.
Scare Factor: Medium to high, because of the ominous music and nature of the logo; the cheesy, choppy, and cheap animation, including the "jiggling", and the sudden start of the music with the copyright warning.
