1st Logo
Availability: Rare. Seen on many pre-cert releases and video nasties from the UK. It was known to be on their video series The Gamma Chronicles. You might also find it on ATA releases also.
Editor's Note: Looks like it was done on an Atari 2600.
2nd Logo
(1983)
Logo: On a black background, we see many colorful rainbow-like pieces come together to form a giant fan, a la the View Video logo. Then, a section a section at a time, the fan disappears to reveal the words "CYCLO VIDEO" in a white sports T-shirt-style font.
FX/SFX: The fan appearing and disappearing.
Music/Sounds: A triumphant Moog synth fanfare which is Keith Mansfield's "Superstar Fanfare (h)". The music was also used in the Channel Television logo.
Availability: Same for as the 1st logo.
Editor's Note: The logo is notable for poor animation(looking like it was done in Commodore 64), gaudy colors, and a slow pace.
(in the video are the two logos respectively)

1st Logo
(1983)
Logo: On a black background, we see the words "CYCLO VIDEO" being typed in on-screen in little amber cubes.
FX/SFX: The words being typed in (the amber cubes appearing), dated computer animation.
Music/Sounds: A bombastic fanfare after 8 seconds of silence, sourced from the KPM library track "Fanfare (1)" composed by Neil Richardson and released on the 1970 album Scenesetters, Fanfares, and Punctuations (catalog number KPM 1057). Also, in the silence, if you listen very closely, you can hear the fanfare in the background.
