AstroVision(Albania)

Background: AstroVision is a VHS company located in Albania, & the earliest of Albanian VHS companies, starting back in 1988, whereas most others started around the late 90s/early 2000s.

Logo 1(1988-1993)
Logo: We see a rotating white star along a red background. A green circle then forms in the star, & suddenly takes over the entire screen.

FX/SFX: The star, & circle.

Cheesy Factor: The animation is very choppy(essentially going on 110's) with animation errors everywhere including the star going off screen, or even being smaller than intended as well as the red background being orange in several frames. Plus, it looks like it was drawn by a 7 year old. Not to mention the fact that the company name does not appear at all, & the music is stolen from the 1st Maldris logo.

Music/Sounds: the tune from the 1st Maldris logo.

Availability: Extremely rare: Only seen on tapes featuring public domain cartoons with Albanian subtitles.

Scare Factor: None. You'd be more so just questioning just how many errors there are in the logo.

Logo 2(1993-1999)
Logo: The logo starts off with a triangle facing to the left. A knife then cuts the triangle into 5 pieces. The pieces then fall into a pot where they are mixed with a bunch of wires, & are stirred up for 10 seconds. Once the stirring is done, it's then poured into a bottle, which then explodes due to the molecules in the mix being too rapid for it to handle. The company name is then revealed outside of the explosion.

FX/SFX: Everything described.

Cheesy Factor: The idea is rather ridiculous, having that 90s charm to it. The animation is impressively fluid for the time though, despite looking like something drawn by a 4th grader.

Music/Sounds: A strange sounding tune that's like a bunch of bowling ball sounds mixed with sounds of fire, cardboard, potatoes, & more.

Music/Sounds variant: Sometimes the events that happen have their own sound effects. The triangle has a quiet whoosh sound when its going left, with the knife having the typical knife sound. The stirring is accompanied with a robotic sound. The pouring sound is of rain sound, & the explosion sound is the sound of a coconut.

Availability: Rare. Seen on tapes with public domain cartoons like the last one, but also seen on their tapes of Alias the Jester, Magical Angel Sweet Mint(subtitles only), Avenger Penguins, & most notably Purno de Purno.
