<u> | <u>Background:</u> CIC Video was a home video distributor owned by [[Cinema International Corporation]] (CIC), and its successor [[United International Pictures]] (UIP), and operated in some countries by local operators. Outside of the United States, it distributed films by Universal Studios and Paramount Pictures, CIC's partners. DreamWorks films were added to the company output in 1998, as the fledgling studio had a worldwide video distribution deal with Universal. In 1999, CIC Video was dissolved when Universal purchased PolyGram and reorganized its video division under the Universal name. [[Paramount Home Media Distribution|Paramount Home Entertainment]] became CIC's successor after acquiring full ownership and merging it into Paramount's video division. | ||

<u> | <u>Nickname:</u> "The CIC Filmstrip" | ||
<u>Logo:</u> | <u>Logo:</u> | ||
* <u>Opening</u>: We begin with the blue background variant of the previous logo. After it turns <span style="color:#1E90FF">blue</span>, it zooms out onto a scrolling chrome filmstrip and "dissolves" into its respective space. The filmstrip has three boxes in it. The left has the Paramount print logo (with the Gulf+Western byline) engraved in it, the middle box has the CIC Video logo in it, and the box on the right has the Universal print logo of the time (a wireframe globe inside a stylized U with "UNIVERSAL" below) in it. We then see the word "<span style="color:#FFD700">PREVIEW</span>" in <span style="color:#FFD700">gold</span> scrolling past. The screen is then taken up by a white flash. On Chilean tapes released by Video Chile, a voiceover is used. | |||
* <u>Closing</u>: We start off with the white flash disappearing, revealing the filmstrip with the "<span style="color:#FFD700">PREVIEW</span>" text on it. It then flips over to reveal the 3 boxes in it. Suddenly, the CIC logo turns full color (that is, <span style="color:#1E90FF">blue</span> and white) and zooms up, taking up the entire screen. | |||
<u> | <u>FX/SFX:</u> Everything. | ||
<u>Music/Sounds:</u> | |||
<u>Opening:</u> The music from the 2nd logo, then a deep bass sounder with a laser-like zap noise, and finally the 'doo-doo-doo-doo' noise and the loud hit. | |||
<u>Closing:</u> The laser-like zap noise, with the deep bass sounder playing in the background, followed by an abridged version of the 'doo-doo-doo-doo' noise and loud hit. | |||
<u>Availability:</u> Uncommon, as it is seen on rental tapes (mainly in the UK) from CIC Video, used in tangent with the second logo. It can also be found on plenty of South American tapes as well, particularly NTSC-formatted tapes from [[Blancic Video (Venezuela)|Blancic Video]] in Venezuela, [[Kyron Home Video (Colombia)|Kyron Home Video]] in Colombia, and [[Video Chile]] in, well, Chile. It can be also seen on Aussie releases as well such as ''Stepping Out''. | |||
<u>Editor's Note:</u> A rather unique take on the normal logo. | |||
=== 4th Logo (1990's) === | |||
<u>Logo:</u> On a <span style="color:#9370DB">lavender</span> background, we see a filmstrip passing by us at an angle with "CIC VIDEO" on it. Suddenly, one of the CIC Video logos rises from the filmstrip and faces the screen. The "chain" flies forth and brings us the Portuguese words "<span style="color:#0000FF">qualidade de quem é original</span>" (loosely, "genuine and original quality"), then bounces around and lands in the I of CIC. | |||
<u>FX/SFX:</u> | <u>FX/SFX:</u> Everything. | ||
<u>Music/Sounds:</u> | <u>Music/Sounds:</u> Same as the previous logo. | ||
<u>Availability:</u> | <u>Availability:</u> Rare. This was seen on Brazilian NTSC-formatted tapes from the time. | ||
