Nicknames
: "Cigar-Smoking Pentapus with a Top Hat", "Simple Letter Blocks"

Logo: In the underwater environment, a cartoon-ish 5-armed yellow-tongued octopus smoking a cigar with the silly facial expression and hands and the ends of arms, swims in from the right side of the screen, then the blocks with the letters fly in tumble down from the left to spell out "[F][M] [V][ I ][D][E][O]" in the jumbled arrangement, then the word "presenta" zooms out below the blocks and a top hat with a bluish-white band falls down on top of the octopus's head, and then everything freezes.

FX/SFX: An octopus, blocks, the word "presenta", the top hat.

Music/Sounds: A cheap synth fanfare. Probably played on a Casio keyboard.

Availability: Rare. If you go to Italy, then you might be lucky enough to find a tape with this.

Editor's Note: While the animation and music are cheap,it's a funny logo due to the octopus' goofy design.
