1st logo
(Early 1980s)

Logo: Against a black-tan-green gradient background we see the following text scroll up:
CEL Warning Screen

Just as the text leaves the screen, the background appears to slide up, leading into the logo for PBV or CEL's "Entertainment Revolution" logo.

SFX: The text and background scrolling up.

Music: An early 80s Moog synth ditty.

Availability: Can be found on old PAL tapes of PBV/CEL releases in Australia. (As you'd soon figure out, in the warning screen, they mean 10,000 Australian dollars, not American. :-) [Right now, AU$10,000 = US$9,200, but I think back then, it was equal to about US$7,000.])

Scare Factor: Low to medium due to the music.








2nd logo
(Mid 1980s)



Nickname: "Skull and Crossbones"

Logo: Against a light blue background with a large white "Skull and Crossbones" picture, the same text as shown in the first logo scrolls up. Just as the text leaves the screen, the background fades to black.

SFX: The text scrolling up.

Music: Same as the first logo.

Avaiability: Can also be found on old PAL tapes of PBV/CEL releases in Australia.

Scare Factor: Slightly higher than that of the first logo due to the addition of the "Skull and Crossbones".




3rd Logo
(Late 1980s-1990s)

FX/SFX: The 3D scrolling of the text.

Scare Factor: TBA
