Logo: On a white background, an amber rectangle |
'''Logo''': On a white background, an amber rectangle slides in from the left and goes under a translucent white rectangle, followed by many more rectangles sliding in from all sides but the left, while "ENTERTAINMENT" in a dark gray Triple Condensed Gothic font scrolls from right-to-left across the screen. Eventually, the rectangle slowly turns dark grey, while the "ENTERTAINMENT" text appears at the bottom of it in black, slowly turning white. A red rectangle, plastered with "STRAND V⯁C⯁I" in a white Times New Roman font (but with the "V" in golden yellow), flies up and rotates to a sharp angle to the left, flying back onto the board into a similar position as the Video Collection logo, and the "V" turns dark grey as soon as it stops |
||
'''Variant''': Sometimes, a white "V" flies up just as a yellow rectangle slides in and covers up the golden "V" as the red rectangle flies into place. The white "V" then fades to the normal grey. |
|||
Variant: Some tapes have a white "V" flipping in from the bottom of the screen before the red rectangle, and the "V" fades to gray (on the regular version, the V just suddenly turns gray at the blink of an eye in sync with the orchestral hit.). This may have been an animation timing error. |
|||
'''FX/SFX''': The sliding rectangles, the panel flying up. |
|||
FX/SFX: Early '90s computer graphics. Cool as well. The yellow "V" turning to gray may not have been intentional, though. |

Music/Sounds: Three light synth chords and a reversed cymbal, then a orchestral hit with a loud bang, ending with a synth chord. |

'''Editor's Note''': The "V" turning from gold to grey is odd, but the print logo does show the "V" as grey. The variant appears to fix the golden "V" by layering a white "V" over the animation, but the delay makes it hard. |

(January 1990-1992)

Logo: On a white background, an amber rectangle slides in from the left and goes under a translucent white rectangle, followed by many more rectangles sliding in from all sides but the left, while "ENTERTAINMENT" in a dark gray Triple Condensed Gothic font scrolls from right-to-left across the screen. Eventually, the rectangle slowly turns dark grey, while the "ENTERTAINMENT" text appears at the bottom of it in black, slowly turning white. A red rectangle, plastered with "STRAND V⯁C⯁I" in a white Times New Roman font (but with the "V" in golden yellow), flies up and rotates to a sharp angle to the left, flying back onto the board into a similar position as the Video Collection logo, and the "V" turns dark grey as soon as it stops
Variant: Sometimes, a white "V" flies up just as a yellow rectangle slides in and covers up the golden "V" as the red rectangle flies into place. The white "V" then fades to the normal grey.
FX/SFX: The sliding rectangles, the panel flying up.
Music/Sounds: Three light synth chords and a reversed cymbal, then a orchestral hit with a loud bang, ending with a synth chord.
Availability: Uncommon. Notably seen on 1990-1992 Thomas the Tank Engine releases in the U.S., but was also seen on The Mouse and the Motorcycle, Runaway Ralph, Ripley's Believe It or Not, and The Jungle Book anime.
Editor's Note: The "V" turning from gold to grey is odd, but the print logo does show the "V" as grey. The variant appears to fix the golden "V" by layering a white "V" over the animation, but the delay makes it hard.
