Sony Color Collection 2° series
Always based on four colors, with recording time of 60 and 74 minutes.
With this series Sony starts to complicate matters; in both, 60 and 74 min. there are two different variants, with text on the same color of shutter blank while the other presents "recording time" in white.
Here Sony introduces, in the cases, the opening to be able to extract the minidisc "inverted V" that will continue as a constant in all Sony production with minor variations.
The rear shell took over the black.
It also introduced colored labels matched to the color of the blank.
Probably, in a limited edition, Sony also manufactures of cases with the color of the corresponding blank.
The idea is definitely valid, especially aimed at the younger market, but instead of coloring the rear shell and leave the front transparent shell, thought to be placed anterior shell keeping unchanged the black color of the shell back (see photos) preventing see the label on the blanks.
In my opinion was not a particularly effective marketing strategy.
