Nicknames: "V of Doom", "Big V", "Zooming V","The Purple/Black V (of Doom)", "Killer V", "Viapocalypse", "Viacom V", "Anarchy" Logo: On a sky blue (or lavender) background, the text "A Viacom Presentation" in a palatino-like typeface zooms-in from the center of the screen at a very fast pace. Then, a fancy-cut, navy blue "V" comes from the center and moves gradually closer and closer to the screen. When it gets to the point where the "V" takes up nearly the entire screen, the screen suddenly cuts to black or fades to black (depending on the version of the logo), with the "V" still moving ever closer.FX/SFX: The text zooming in from screen center and the "V" logo zooming in. Then, anarchy. Cheesy Factor: The filmed version has the appearance that a camera zoomed in on the "V" that was chroma-keyed onto a lighter background, and the text zoom-in looks like it was cheaply animated and somewhat choppy, even though it doesn't look like a camera zoom-in. The videotaped version has better graphics and animation, thanks to the Scanimate effects, but still looks cheaply done. The filmed variant's quality is very poor for a logo that debuted in 1976, making it look like it debuted in the '50s. On the "Bottomed" version, as the "V" begins zooming in, the very top edge of the green-screen or whatever the "V" was placed on can briefly be seen. Music/Sounds: Usually, the music was a 5-note synthesized fanfare, complete with a timpani drum roll playing throughout with a final, rather loud pound at the end. Even after the logo faded to black, the timpani's echo could still be heard. Scare Factor: High to nightmare. However, if you count the ending, even off the charts. Due to the fanfare and the "V" zooming in, this logo had been a source of bad dreams and nightmares for many. The logo's general quality is also poor, especially on deteriorated/damaged film prints, making it even scarier due to the creepy fanfare and the "V" zooming in combined with the film scratches. This logo is known as one of the scariest logos ever created, along with the "S from Hell", "The Mask Of Guo Xiang", "Princess Ozma", and "The 3-G Triangle From Hell". In fact, this logo is very well-known on the Internet specifically and very popular for this reason. However, the anarchy jumpscare is ignored. High quality "scary" logo remake
