To me, this Magno Sound & Video logo is a quintessential use of Microgramma. Paired with a Midtown Manhattan address set in Helvetica, it gives me the feeling that there’s something cool, exclusive, expensive and high-tech behind that label. Visions of woodgrain and brushed metal. The waveform in the O is a great addition.
The Magno Video logo, however, is a completely different look. More of a feathered hair and satin jacket vibe. It’s very similar to the Original New York Seltzer label design from 1981. I originally suspected that the address was set in Cooper Black Italic, but that’s not the case. Any help in identifying would be welcome.

Microgramma/Eurostile is woodgrain and brushed metal, indeed.
The Video address is a blurry ITC Garamond Ultra Italic.
