PBV/Starscreen (Logo Archives 50fps test upload) Logo Archive 2023-12-27 | So after 7 years I've got the VHS recording bug again and this time I want to do it properly with proper frame rates. I'll mainly be recording TV airings rather than rental tapes but as a test I decided to insert my favourite VHS tape of my collection: the 1984 CEL Starscreen release of The Last Starfighter. And as you can (hopefully) see that test was a success in terms of frame rate.Admittedly the quality isn't 100% perfect but right now I'm just using what I've got and that is a low-end VHS that outputs in mono lol.
Greater Union Film Distributors/Starscreen/Lorimar (original letterbox ratio) Logo Archive 2023-12-27 | A bit of a additional bonus upload to go with my 50fps test. The Greater Union/Starscreen combination as originally presented on the 1984 CEL release of The Last Starfighter, unaltered in any way like the bodge job I did converting it to scope all those years ago lol

Greater Union (5 second ad stinger, circa 1984) Logo Archive 2023-03-28 | Yes it's gotten to that stage folks, I'm uploading an ad stinger! In Australia during the 80s and into the early 90s, most TV spots for movies will reserve the last portion for a card or animation telling people where they can see it (if it's a chain the ad would most likely be paid for by the chain themselves). This was what Greater Union used in 1984. Notice how the similarities and differences between this stinger and the Greater Union Film Distributors logo of that era.Sourced from: archive.org/details/channelten-blazing-saddles-dive-bomber-ads-1984
GUO Film Distributors (aka Greater Union) (late 1970s-early 1980s) Logo Archive 2023-03-15 | Big thanks to @FrysVideoArchives for both finding and scanning this for me.

Roadshow (1970s extended theme reconstruction) Logo Archive 2023-01-31 | Recently I've joined the Discord of the newly resurrected CLG, now renamed AVID. A few days ago, some footage was posted there of a potato-cam recording of an extended 1970s Roadshow logo running on 35mm film. As this was a secondary source I have decided not to re-broadcast the raw footage out of respect to whoever originally sourced it, but instead showcase its audio and match it to its respective part in the shorter version of the logo as a reconstruction. So please enjoy this unearthing of some lost Australian logo audio!
World International Network/Live Entertainment Logo Archive 2022-03-29 | Taken from Butter (1998) aka Never 2 Big
Eurovision ident (TCN9 variant) Logo Archive 2022-02-22 | Stumbled on a true rarity that will delight those who have an interest in Eurovision cards. This was a card produced by the Australian station TCN9 (more commonly referred to as Channel 9) when they produced and transmitted the world feed of the 1985 Australian Grand PrixAs far as I can tell, this is the only instance of a non-European network ever producing a Eurovision transmission and is certainly a rare oddity. The only other time Australians would have ever seen a Eurovision card would have been during SBS broadcasts of the Eurovision Song Contest

First Look Pictures Logo Archive 2022-01-18 | Yes, this is the same First Look that you're thinking of. No, I don't know what the hell this is doing here instead of one of their normal logos. Taken from The Wedding Party (1997), the US re-title of the Australian film: Thank God He Met Lizzie!

CIC-Taft Video/THG Video Logo Archive 2021-12-07 | THG stands for Taft-Hardie Group, the entertainment company that represented the Taft part of CIC-Taft Video in a 50/50 split between Taft Broadcasting and James Hardie, a building materials company... yes you read right, it was the 80s after all.Anyway, the THG label was rarely used and only used when releases couldn't fit neatly within CIC or Worldvision's labels, like this movie, the low budget Australian indie film Future Schlock (1984), a release so obscure it's believed that the original film masters have been lost leaving only this VHS quality copy as the sole remaining transfer of the film. The CIC-Taft Video logo was mostly cutoff so a video freeze has been added to restore the full length of the logo
Film Australia Video Logo Archive 2021-11-30 | Rare variant of the Film Australia logo used on VHS releases.
