2nd Logo

(1995-2003)

Globe Home Video (1995)

Nickname: "The Exploding Globe", "The Globe and G of Doom"

Logo: On a black/blue background, we see a revolving globe (the land is yellow, and the sea is blue) zooming in to us. Then immediately, it EXPLODES! On a few seconds, stars shoot forward, when it happens, and big "G" zooms at us, a la Viacom's V of Doom. Then suddenly after that, "Globe Video" in sapphire zooms out fastly, then it stops in a second. On a few seconds, we fade out.

FX/SFX: All the animation, done in CGI.

Music/Sounds: An slamming sound, then an hiss when the globe zooms in, then a explosion sound when it explodes, then, an ominious sounding male choir followed by hissing sounds, and a bass drum/cymbal solo, too!

Availability: Scarce. Seen on some tapes during the time.

Scare Factor: High to NIGHTMARE; with the dark music/sound effects and scary animation, and the globe exploding, this may be one of the scariest logos ever made. But, low for these who are used to seeing it.
