When the DVD Logo its a Corner - Anish Yakkanti



When the DVD logo hits a corner of the screen

You know what’s even better than watching television on a Friday night? Better than going out with friends to watch a new movie? Better than finding a new show to binge watch on Netflix? You know what’s even better than all that?

I’ll tell you what: the DVD screensaver. Staring at a television with nothing on it. Just bland text on a black background, floating around and changing through the bright spectrum of colors of the rainbow. Blue then red then purple then green.

Sitting on the couch staring at a blank screen when you're supposed to be doing homework can somehow make you feel better.

  • Soothing. Looking at this magical text float across the screen has a soothing effect. It is as soothing as staring into a sea.

  • Escape. Nothing matters in this world you are transported to, no homework, no grades, and no arguments with siblings.

  • Excitement. We’ve all felt it, the excitement fizzing in our bellies as the magical moment finally comes to be, but in the end the logo was just one pixel off and continues to bounce about.

The magical moment. Oh, you know the one, the bright spectrum of colors bounce straight into a corner. Not even a pixel off. It’s perfection.
AWESOME!!!
