Soyuz Video: Difference between revisions

Soyuz Video was a VHS and DVD distribution subsidiary of the Soyuz concern. It was one of the largest video distributors in Russia for a long time. In 2013, the Soyuz Video subsidiary went defunct. The distribution rights were taken over by [[Lizard Cinema Trade]], which would later be folded into the [[Prior Group]] in 2016 (together with [[CP Digital]] and [[Videoservice]]).

'''Logo:''' On a background with a dark skyline, we see various VHSs stacked together. All of these start to fall down and reveal an even more bigger VHS, which spins. Fireworks are seen shooting on the background. A red circle (which looks like the one from the Mattel logo) spins in. The word "100%" zooms out to the red circle, and the words "контроль" and "качества" (which mean "control" and "quality") move in from the left and zoom out. A color-changing Soyuz logo (a bunch of filmstrips making a tree) zooms out spinning. The Soyuz logo places at the left, and the other words place next to it. "VHS-PRO" also zooms out and places itself below the other Russian words. An arc of other Russian words then zooms out and places on the top area of the circle. After everything's placed, a white normal circle appears behind the emblem. The Soyuz logo keeps on changing colors for a short while.

'''Availability:''' Seen on early Soyuz tapes. It may come after the following logo when it was debuted.

'''Logo:''' We zoom by some mountains and spot what looks like a fireball/explosion or something in adark blacksky. After passing by the mountains we see that it's a cloud or something in a dark red/bright orange sky. Some sparks fly up and a 3D CGI <span style="color:gold;>golden</span> Soyuz logo (a bunch of filmstrips making a tree) rises up toward us. The background fades to a city skyline with an <span style="color:orange;>orange</span>/<span style="color:yellow;>yellow</span> sky andblackclouds, and the text "'''СОЮЗ'''" ("SOYUZ" in Russian) in CGI letters flies in from the right in front of us and then back to the center along with the corporate logo. Then the logo fades out and the CGI words "VHS-PRO" and "'''PRODUCED ON SOYUZVIDEOTAPE'''" (in Russian) fly in from the right into the center which changes colors: <span style="color:gold;>gold</span>, <span style="color:red;>red</span>, <span style="color:blue;>blue</span>, and <span style="color:green;>green</span>; the third row of the text changes from <span style="color:green;>green</span> to <span style="color:red;>red</span>.

'''Availability:''' Can be seen on Russian VHS's since the late 90's. Not sure if this is seen on any DVDs.
