'''Logo:''' On a gray background, a giant black circle zooms out to the center, with a blue light passing over it to reveal a gray colored map of the Scandinavian countries (minus Iceland) with latitude and longitude lines, with a shadow underneath. The globe keeps sparkling until the sparks fly out to form the Egmont logo (consisting of the word "EGMONT" in a very '80s Macy's-esque font, with the "E" and "T" connected via a line made to look like a square) via a yellow flash, and then, a pink comet shoots along the bottom to reveal "AUDIO-VISUAL-GROUP". Finally, one of the following things happens:

* The map transforms into the word "Film" in a cursive font and colored black, transforming the gray background into hot magenta.

* A thick blue border grows around the logo and transforms into a white/blue box, cut diagonally from the upper right to lower left corners, and the text "TRANS WORLD" on it in a tall Arial font. The text is a light red on the white section, and white in the blue section. The background also transforms into black.

'''Variant:''' At the beginning of tapes, the logo would become embossed on a different-colored background (pink for Egmont Film, brown for Trans World) and a warning screen would fade in the language the tape was released in. In the early years, the warning itself would also scroll up.

'''Technique:''' All the animation in the logo, which isn't too bad, despite a few bad effects.

'''Availability:''' On old PAL tapes throughout Scandinavia. One example might be a Swedish tape of ''Bamse'' (a popular Swedish cartoon) or a Norwegian tape of ''Sesam Stasjon'' (Norway's co-production of ''Sesame Street'', literally meaning "''Sesame Station''"), possibly with NRK's logo (and the CTW "Sparks" logo) coming after.

'''Logo:''' Against a blue marble background, a yellow square, a spinning blue circle (with part of it broken open), and a green L zoom out, and at the same time, a red square and blue dot zoom in, forming a face at the left of the screen. The face fades out a bit, and some copyright warning text scrolls up a la BFS Video. The face fades back in, and the text "EGMONT" and "FILM" or "ENTERTAINMENT AB" (in white) zoom out to the bottom from both sides of the screen. The left eye of the face (the red circle) winks.

'''Variants:'''  

'''Technique:''' The zooming.

'''Music/Sounds:''' A techno tune plays during the warning screen, with a descending synth whoosh playing in-between the beginning (where the logo forms) and the end of the logo. A ding is heard when the face winks. On earlier releases, the tune would have a different ending with no whoosh, although the ding remained.

'''Logo:''' In a starfield with lens flares everywhere, a blue paintbrush streak moves about like a ribbon. A green one and a red one follow suit, and the background slowly turns black before the ribbons form up the logo. The square is then formed by 4 yellow lines with a dot appearing which turns out to be the same Egmont face from the first logo, and the text "{{color|blue|EGMONT ENTERTAINMENT}}" appears below in a stacked form.

'''Variants:'''  

* For international releases the word "ENTERTAINMENT" has been replaced with "INTERNATIONAL"

'''Technique:''' The swirling of lines and sparks at background.
