Logo: On a blue background, “VIDEO GEMS PRESENTS...” flies in from the right, with “Video Gems” in a unique font, outlined white and colored green and “PRESENTS...” in a fancy thin white font, towards the center of the screen. Seconds later, it zooms away to the left.
Variants:
FX/SFX: The flying in of the logo.
Music/Sounds: A trumpet fanfare with an echo effect, followed by a 6-note majestic synth orchestra tune at the end. The still version is silent, but on some tapes the full version is silent as well.
Availability: Seen on rare B-movies from the era.
