As it scrolls, a metallic rectangle flips in, zooming in as well. There is the text "LEG<i>A</i>L <i>V</i>IDEO S.<i>A</i>." in a very "futuristic" font, along with a large cutout in the lower right corner, as well as the large letters "LV" taken out of the top right. After the dragon leaves the screen, the logo glitches out for a second, causing streaks from the bottom edges to streak across the screen. On children's releases, a </font><font color="#00ff00">lime green</font><font color="#333333"> circle with the text "Video Niño" (or "Video Child" in English) fades in. At the top of this circle are icons representing two smiling faces.</font></font></div><div><font size="3"><br/><u>FX/SFX</u>: Early mixer effects, with the computerized scrolling of the dragon, the model of the logo turning in, and the Video Feedback trails.<br/><br/><u>Music/Sounds</u>: A futuristic synth theme with zaps and xylophone notes.<br/><br/><u>Availability</u>: Extremely rare. This was found on a Argentine video of <i>Secret Squirrel</i>. The original version was found on <i>Futureworld</i>and the 1st edition of <i>Predator</i>.<br/><br/><u>Editor's Note</u>: The logo isn't really pleasant for children with the strange animation, pixelated dragon, synth music, and even the symbol (which just looks more like a strange frog), possibly because this wasn't really designed with children in mind.<br/></font><div><font size="3"><br/><br/></font></div><div><font size="3"><br/></font></div><div><font size="3">2nd (known) logo</font><div><font size="3">(Late 1980s)</font></div><div><font size="3"><br/></font></div><div><font size="3"><font>[[File:C8f7a970a10c801f1f232093b7aa5c14.jpeg|348px|Legal Video (US, Late 1980s)]]</font><u>Nicknames</u>:<font color="#333333"> "Lady in the Lamp", "Tempting Eyes", "Illegal Video"</font><br/><u><br/>Logo</u><u>:</u><font color="#333333"> On a black background we see a pair of woman's eyes.

With the very weird and in-your-face nature, ideas that aren't suited for a logo, and incredibly cheap and strange effects (including the fact that the woman's eyes get smaller when the grid fades in, and come back at the end), it can certainly give a child nightmares.<br/></font></div></div></div></div></div><br/></div></div>Travis
