Nicknames: "Lunar Eclipse", "The 1980s: a Film Odyssey"
Logo: On a starry background, we see a lunar eclipse and then the Sun slowly hovers over the Moon and then a burst appears and then the Sun turns into a film reel and the Moon turns into a disc. Then they go onto a blue cube and the word "ALLIED" appears over the film reel and the word "ARTISTS" appears under the disc and then the word "VIDEO" appears at the bottom.
FX/SFX: The blue square, the words, the film reel and the disc appearing.
Music/Sounds: A synth tune that is short and soft at the beginning and when "ALLIED" and "ARTISTS" fly onto the screen there is a brief synth noise, along with a light projector-like sound. When "VIDEO" appears there is a long synth noise.
Availability: Rare. Seen on home media releases in the 1980s by Allied Artists Video, plus their YouTube channel <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-tCSBezaTIjhWScb-9Rxhg" target="_self" title="alliedartists">alliedartists</a>.

Nicknames: "DVD of Doom", "Allied Artists DVD"
Logo: On a black background, the words "ALLIED ARTISTS" appear in 3 dimensional text along with a film strip to the right and a red line at the bottom. Then, a DVD comes in from the background and goes under the line and then the logo zooms in.
FX/SFX: The words, film strip and line flipping upwards and the DVD sliding into it.
Music/Sounds: A loud, descending string section (like you hear in cartoon scores these days when a character falls), fading into a deep choir harmonizing, both which are typical, possibly APM-rooted pieces of music or musical sounds for score.
Availability: Uncommon. Seen on modern DVDs by the company. This can also be seen on the YouTube channel <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-tCSBezaTIjhWScb-9Rxhg" target="_self" title="alliedartists">alliedartists</a> (the official YouTube channel of Allied Artists International).
