Gestle Video

1st Logo

(1982-1995)

Logo: On a blue background we see the word "Gestle" fading in.

FX/SFX/Cheese Factor: Only the word fading; nothing imaginable.

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: Found on Gestle video releases from the time.

Scare Factor: None, this logo is boring.

2nd Logo

(1995-2005)

Logo: We see a remote control traveling in a house. On the living room, we see a couch and a TV (turned off) with a VHS player below the TV. The remote control then turns on the TV. We zoom to the TV screen which has a black BG with the words "Gestle" and "Video". The words then shines.

Variant: On DVD releases by the company, the DVD logo replaces the word "Video". Plus, the VHS player is replaced by a DVD player.

FX/SFX: CGI animation.

Cheese Factor: The logo looks a bit dark.

Music/Sounds: An rock tune, with a "whoosh" when we zoom to the TV screen.

Availability: Same as before.

Scare Factor: Minimal, the darkness may get some.

Hometime Media

1st Logo

(2005-)

Logo: Same as the DVD variant of the 2nd Gestle Video logo, except it has a few differences. The logo is now brighter, the background on the TV screen in now dark green, and the words are replaced by "HOMETIME Media".

FX/SFX: Same as the 2nd Gestle Video logo.

Music/Sounds: A calm synth tune.

Availability: Current.

Scare Factor: None, this is an improvement over the 2nd Gestle Video logo.
