[tantek] btw related to the VHS styling discussion, I believe some of the "color bands" designs of VHS tapes were based on broader 1980s (maybe even late 1970s) design trends, e.g. I remember first seeing that kind of bright color bands design in the Atari VCS/2600 video game Breakout (here's the box cover: https://lirp.cdn-website.com/52756d52/dms3rep/multi/opt/Breakout-2600-480w.jpg )
