'''Logo:''' On a black background, yellow dust begins to form the PolyGram Video logo, which is the text "{{color|#FFD700|{{font|Arial|'''P'''oly'''G'''ram Video}}}}" in metallic gold, above a line of {{color|red}} stars, which drop down as the text begins forming. Like a roller-coaster (and the 1980s RKO logo), it zooms forward, dipping down, then flying back up again, also showing a dust effect as it does. The letters in “{{color|#FFD700|{{font|Arial|presents}}}}” fly in from the right one-by-one, and a white bar of light passes through the logo twice. | '''Logo:''' On a black background, yellow dust begins to form the PolyGram Video logo, which is the text "{{color|#FFD700|{{font|Arial|'''P'''oly'''G'''ram Video}}}}" in metallic gold, above a line of {{color|red}} stars, which drop down as the text begins forming.

'''Logo:''' On a black background, a white outline of the previous logo starts to fade in along with several copies expanding and rising up from the bottom, forming a tunnel effect going forwards as the stars appear below it as well. The tunnel effect than starts to "echo" a bit as the logo starts to change between different colors. Eventually, the tunnel effects and color-changing logo go away and have the logo fade into place instead. Sometimes, the Spectrum logo zooms in below at a larger size than usual or The Arena Records logo appears below, which consists of a rectangular box in white as well as a swoosh shape inside of it, and "'''ARENA'''" wipes in below to form an arena-like shape to it. | |||
'''Technique:''' Scanimation. | |||
'''Music/Sounds:''' None or the [[Spectrum Video]] theme. | |||
'''Availability:''' This can be seen on German PAL tapes such as ''The Vindicator''. | |||
