A red and blue chevron shape pointing to the left comes in from the right and morphs into an "arrow" shape as it passes through the rectangle. Soon after, two blue lines zoom out from the left leaving a residue trail like the rectangle did, arranging themselves onto the left of the "arrow", forming a segmented blue "EK" that is red in the middle. Then, the words "ΕΛΛΑΣ KOΣMOΣ" (written in Greek) are wiped in by a ball of light from left to right and the words zoom in for a second. Then, the word "VIDEO" (which is half light-blue, half dark-blue) appears piece-by-piece (since it is segmented). The rectangle then fills with white.</font><br/><br/><u>FX/SFX</u><font color="#333333" face="Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">: The effects look primitive, even for it's time.</font></font></div><div><font size="3"><br/><u>Music/Sounds</u><font color="#333333" face="Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">: A loud "whoosh" is heard as the rectangle zooms out, followed by a dark, creepy synth-line that turns into a cool techno theme (which is stolen from the 1983 exploitation film <i>Hostage/Savage Attraction</i>), accompanied by a synthesized wind chime sound.</font><br/><u><br/>Availability</u><font color="#333333" face="Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">: Rare. Can be seen on old Greek videos from the 80s and 90s, including </font><i>Blood Nasty</i><font color="#333333" face="Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">, </font><i>The Dark Side</i><font color="#333333" face="Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">, <i>Deadly Embrace</i>, </font><i>Slaughter of the Innocents</i><font color="#333333" face="Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">, </font><i>Operation Golden Phoenix</i><font color="#333333" face="Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">, </font><i>Ski School 2</i><font color="#333333" face="Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">, </font><i>Relative Fear</i><font color="#333333" face="Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">, </font><i>Aenigma</i><font color="#333333" face="Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"><i>, Puppet Master II, </i>and </font><i>The Paper Boy</i><font color="#333333" face="Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"><i>,</i> among others. Also spotted on some Greek VHS tapes of the 1987 <i>Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles</i> cartoon.</font><br/><u><br/>Editor's Note</u><font color="#333333" face="Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">: The jarringly loud "whoosh" at the beginning can catch one off-guard. The synth tune and dark background don't help either, but the techno riff sort of turns the setting from dark and creepy to upbeat and futuristic, in a loose definition of the word.</font></font></div><div><font color="#333333" face="Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="3"><br/></font></div><div><font color="#333333" face="Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="3"><br/></font></div><div><font color="#333333" face="Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="3"><br/></font></div><div><font color="#333333" face="Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="3">2nd Logo<br/></font></div><div><font color="#333333" face="Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="3">(1990-????)</font></div><div><font color="#333333" face="Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="3"><br/></font></div><div align="center"><font size="3">[[File:2cdd1a2fd0904cc8faa94af024894cb7.png|319px|Hellas Kosmos International (1990)]]</font></div><div align="center"><font size="3"><br/></font></div><div align="left"><font size="3"><u>Logo</u>: We begin with colored bars. After a few seconds, the bars sweep down (with a glowing blue outline of the screen the bars were on) to reveal a black background. On the background, two maroon scalene triangles flip down to the left center of the screen. Each triangle flips down from the opposite side. Next, a blue scalene triangle flips in and places itself to the right of the two triangles. The name <u>ΕΛΛΑΣ KOΣMOΣ</u><font face="Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">in blue flips in and places itself to the right of the logo. The word</font><font face="Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> "</font><font face="Times">I</font>NTERNATIONA<font face="Times">L</font><font face="Arial">" in red flips up and places itself under the above text.
