2nd Logo

(March 16th, 1978-April 12th, 1984)

The Logo: In the blue BG, we see a pyramid as it is zooming out and spining in slow motion until it makes a complete stop in the centre of the frame. In a vast field of moving stars, a magical rainbow appears from the top left corner of the screen as it spewed to the bottom right corner. The text zooms out and spins in medium fast motion as it crashes below the pyramid. The text is a sans serif font reading "S E L E K Z O N" with "films" written below in cursive.

SFX: The whoosing sound. The crash. The sound of lasers spewing. The sound of a pencil.

FX: As described from the previous logo; Terrific 2 dimensional/3 dimensional animation. The breathtaking 3D animation must have been ahead of it's time.

Music: An 18-note synth fanfare with 5 repeating note sounder of the trumpet.

Scare Factor: Low to medium; The whooshing sound may unnerve some, but it's harmless.
