Nickname: "The Wizard"
Logo: On a black background, we see blue streaks streaking throughout, and a wizard in a maroon costume in a 'trying to reach' pose zooms out. A white circle then appears behind the him, and "WIZARD" shifts from the left, while "VIDEO" shifts from the right. As these words stop shifting, the words turn from white to orange.
FX/SFX: The 80s animation in the logo including the streak effects.
Music/Sounds: Usually silent, but sometimes a high keyboard jingle ending with a string sound.
Availability: Somewhat rare. It can be seen on a lot of B-films on VHS released around the 80s. On Headless Eyes and Dreamaniac, a stay tuned bumper appears after the logo.
Editor's Note: The drawing is rather off-putting.
