Screen (June 12, 1988-February 2009)

Alternate variant
Widescreen variant
CMV Enterprises variant
Elmo's Easy as ABC variant

Visuals: On a blue/black gradient background, there are the words "FBI WARNING:" with a red underline, and the generic "$250,000" warning text underneath.

Variants:

Another version of this warning has a period in place of the price value's comma and the underline extends all the way to the colon symbol.
- This variant can be seen on the 1995 Big Bird Sings! VHS and certain Classic Media DVDs during the mid-2000s.
- A 16:9 version exists on a couple widescreen Classic Media releases.
On releases from CBS Music Video Enterprises, the underline is white and extended to the colon, a comma is added after "reproduction", and the background is a dark blue/indigo gradient.
On the 2005 Elmo's Easy as ABC DVD, it's set against a black background. A different font is used, and there is no underline.
- The 2006 Elmo's Easy as 123 DVD doesn't have this variant, as it uses a wildly different warning.

Technique: A still, digital graphic.

Audio: None.

Availability:

It appears on videos released under Sony's music distribution arms, such as Sony Wonder releases (e.g., early to mid-90's Nickelodeon tapes and, most prominently, mid-90's to 2000's Sesame Street home videos).
It also shows up on some CBS/Sony/Columbia Music Video VHS releases (such as MTV's products, like Michael Jackson: Moonwalker).
This was also seen on Genius Products DVDs of the Classic Media library, such as The Ultimate Underdog Collection.
