Activity Videovision

Activity Videovision was an off-shoot pre-cert label of Almond Entertainment formed in October 1981, during its early years of production. The label released old Z-movies and its own pre-cert productions. It merged with its originating company NightZone, old name of Almond Entertainment, in January 1982, thus forming the current Almond Entertainment. The label released only seven releases, all with both the Activity Videovision logo and the NightZone logo.

1st Logo (October 1981-January 1982)
Over a blue background, a symbol draws in, which shows some kind of a rectangle with a square part on the top cut off. Underneath, "RELEASED THRU" in an Helvetica Condensed font types in. After that, underneath, "ACTIVITY VIDEOVISION" in the Futura font fades in, as "FROM NIGHTZONE ENTERTAINMENT" types in underneath.

FX/SFX/Cheesy Factor: Everything. All seems to be traditional animation. The entirety of this is simply cheap, not to mention that the entirety of this is slightly off-center.

Music/Sounds: Some choppy, but relaxing synth plays in the background. While the text types, a synth note is held throughout the typing animation. A synth plays while the text fades in.

Availability: Extremely rare. Only seen on their seven pre-cert VHS tapes: Midnight Is Always Like This, Doubtful John & Johnny, Dining On The Roof, Shall Visit It?: Dark-Lighted Room, Jonathan's Got Good Sweets For Us, Do This Or Else Do The Other One and Mrs. Donnhartar.

Editor's Note: The entirety of this logo is cheap, but not as cheap as their pre-cert VHS tapes that they distributed from 1981 until very early 1982 as well as NightZone's ones...
