FX/SFX: The globe rotating and the Scanimate effects.
Cheesy Factor: Everything about it, the Scanimate effects are obviously dated now, not that it would've been anything special whenever it debuted, in fact, it would've seemed basic even then. The fact that they used the same public domain footage several other companies have already doesn't help.
Music/Sounds: None.
Availability: Rare, seen on Norwegian VHS releases at the time, such as Escape from the Bronx, Blade, and Don't Open Till Christmas.
Scare Factor: Minimal to medium, the in-your-face Scanimate, lack of music, and dark atmosphere may get to some. It's just another bland generic 80's Euro-VHS logo, granted it's not stealing any footage from another logo, but you'd expect better.
(1984? - 1987?)

Nicknames: "Hey Look! It's That Globe Footage That We've Seen A Hundred Times Already!", "A Personification of All That Is Overused", "The Globe"
Logo: Against a black background with a globe (the same background as the Westcon Home Video and the Converge Video logos), the globe spins for about four seconds until it abruptly stops and the company's logo in white zooms out and settles out via Scanimate effects, we then fade to black.
