Guild Home Video: Difference between revisions

'''Variant:''' A rare still variant with "{{color|gold|video is alive – live with it}}" shown below was used at the end of Guild tapes.

'''Music/Sounds:''' A descending synth-electric piano scale at the beginning, followed by a synth-xylophone/flute/clarinet tune, which sounds similar to the beginning of the song "Tubular Bells" by Mike Oldfield (most famously used in ''The Exorcist'').

'''Variant:''' A variant seen at the end of tapes starts with the name flashing in.

'''Music/Sounds:''' A synth tune in the beginning, then a synth-orchestra tune at the end.

'''Logo:''' On a {{color|blue}} background, {{color|orange}} bar segments fly in from the left and right of the screen, syncing with the music, while they sparkle and zoom out. Eventually, the bars start forming the Guild logo (without the TV tube and the square on the bottom). When the logo is fully formed, "GUILD Home Video" in white fades in below the logo.

'''Music/Sounds:''' A synth note is held throughout, with a synth bass line (composed on a Yamaha DX7 synthesizer) that speeds up slightly near the end, followed by a synth fanfare in E♭ minor. A female chorus hums during this section, ending in them shouting "Go Guild!".

'''Logo:''' Set on a white background, many of the (cel-shaded) rectangular parts of the Guild "G" fly in all directions. When two parts of the G meet in the middle later on, it zooms out, and extra rectangles that make the stem of the "G" fly in. "{{color|gold|GUILD Home Video}}" fades in below, and the logo shines with a "wipe" effect.

'''Music/Sounds:''' A 12-note synthesizer tune, with a synthesized "whoosh" as the "G" forms and a synth choir for the remainder of the logo when the parts of the "G" stem fly in.

'''Variant:''' In 1990, a 10th anniversary variant was used, which has the theatre fade out and the Guild logo zoom forth and turn {{color|gold}}. A number "{{color|gold|10}}" at the top surrounded by a round banner with stars and the years "{{color|gold|1980}}" and "{{color|gold|1990}}" on the sides fade in. "{{color|gold|TEN YEARS OF}}" and "{{color|gold|''independence''}}" are shown below. The logo shines with a few pings.

'''Music/Sounds:''' "Breaking Glass (One)" by James Kaleth and Richard Thomas with whooshes from the lasers, along with an overly excited announcer saying "Introducing future releases from Guild Home Video!" or "Look out for these and other great new releases from Guild at your local video library!". The first variant uses the beginning, while the other two use the end of the track. Like the 2nd logo, the announcer has a North American accent.

'''Logo:''' Against a black background, we see a director's chair in a {{color|blue}} spotlight. The camera pans around the chair, and both parts of the Guild logo slide from both sides of the screen in a tilted position, then "{{color|gold|GUILD}}" appears underneath when we zoom into the chair.

'''Music/Sounds:''' A mystical pan-flute tune, complete with a synth whoosh and an orchestra at the end.
