(1980-1987?): On a sunrise background, we see mountains with palm trees on top. At the bottom, we can see "THE NEXT WAVE IN ENTERTAINMENT", in a pink all-caps font. The text is hardly visible, due to half of it being off-screen, and the word "WAVE" being barely noticeable. The camera then moves upwards, as we fade to a pink sunrise background, with a pink metallic sphere in the middle. We fade to a dark purple background, with "Genesis", in a red slanted, Mistral-like cursive font. Below it to the right is "HOME - VIDEO, LTD.", sandwiched between two lines, all of the same color as "Genesis". The sphere, now silvery, is seen on top of "Genesis", just above the "ne". After some time, the text from the beginning "THE NEXT WAVE IN ENTERTAINMENT", arranged in a purple font with white "shadowing" appears in the center of the screen, as the other text and sphere fade out to a time-lapse cloudy sky or moving lava lamp-like background colored with orange, yellow, pink and green, all neon. The text disappears, and the background fades to black a couple of seconds after.
Music/Sounds[]
(1980-1987?): A somewhat loud thunder sound, a long, drawn-out, high-pitched, synth-like whistle descending in pitch, and a synthesized "hum", that sounds similar to the 80's PolyGram Video logo and Cobra Pictures 1950 logo.
Scare Factor[]
(1980-1987?): High to nightmare; the animation is awful and overly psychedelic, which will put a lot of people off. The music is also rather creepy.
