From the Audiovisual Identity Database, the motion graphics museum
Surrey Video Club (Known as SVC) is a home entertainment distributor in the United Kingdom which distributes pre-cert VHS releases.
Visuals: On a yellow background, a diamond with multi-coloured pixels zooms in. The image breaks away to reveal the letters "SVC" in hot pink, blue and white colours. As the image continues to disappear the letters turn reddish-brown. Twenty left-over reddish-brown cubes in an asterisk (*) formation, flash below the letters. The background of the diamond remains black.
Variant: The colours of the pixels and the timing varies for each VHS release distributed. (Likely)
Technique: Grass Valley 300 switcher effects and computer animation.
Audio: The song "Bubble Machine" by Keith Mansfield, a synthpop tune reminiscent of "Popcorn" by Gershon Kingsley.
Availability notes: Can be seen on many pre-cert releases from the UK such as Invincible from Hell and Force on Thunder Mountain.
