AGM Video (Greece) - CLG Wiki<embed align="bottom" height="228" src="http://wikifoundrytools.com/wiki/closinglogos/page/AGM+Video+%28Greece%29/widget/youtubevideo/294182164" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="276" wmode="transparent"/>
Nickname: "The Laser Show"

Logo: Against a black background, we see a green laser moving around in the background in various patterns. Then, the text

AGM
HOME VIDEO

which is surrounded by a rectangle with "AGM" protruding from the top, fades in. It glows and flashes several colors as the laser moves around. Afterwards, it fades out.

FX: The live-action laser moving around and the glowing/flashing text.

Cheesy Factor: The laser looks like broken glass at some points, and the logo is a very blatant ripoff of the 80's MCA Home Video logo.


Music/Sounds: A synth bass line that gets louder and louder, followed by a Funkytown-esque dance tune. Actually, the music is from the song "So Many Men, So Little Time" by <a class="external" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miquel_Brown" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Miquel Brown</a>.

Availability: Rare; seen on old Greek video tapes from the period.

Scare Factor: Low to medium; the bass line in the beginning can be unnerving, but that dance tune later on is very catchy.
