'''Visuals:''' On a black background, we see the VTC logo (constituting of a blue & yellow weird looking "VTC" with a white shadow around it) with a "VideoTapeCenter" text flipping counterclockwise and zooming in. It then flips counterclockwise from the top left corner of the screen, then from the top right of the screen, then from the bottom right of the screen, and finally from the bottom left of the screen. When the logo stops in the middle of the screen, "PRESENTS" appears under it. The logo then remains stationary for a few more seconds before fading out. |

Finally, it cuts to the logo shown at the beginning, but on a black background and much larger, right before the wavy spikes come back down to wipe the logo away. |

1st Logo (Early 1980s)
Visuals: On a black background, several spikes dive down from the top of the screen, outlined in a yellow/white gradient as they wave about to reveal an painting of an stern-looking man surrounded by fire (which is actually poster art). After a second of the image being revealed, an different Video Tape Center logo fades in yellow along with "presenterar" below it in Arial. The logo depicts the text "VIDEOCENTER" in the same font as the regular VTC logo, but in a box with a grainy inside texture and a sleepy-looking cartoony old man poking above the box, holding a sign reading "TAPE" on the text. Back in the background, the image gets wiped away for more poster art via a spinning yellow bar that splits into two. This happens again, before the logo fades out and it cuts to an image of a screencap of a cartoon, having "SVENSKTEXTAT" plastered diagonally across it in a green Arial-like font, and then two more pieces of poster art wipe in with different methods (the first having a rotating cube effect, and the second having a diagonal split). Finally, it cuts to the logo shown at the beginning, but on a black background and much larger, right before the wavy spikes come back down to wipe the logo away.

2nd Logo (Early-Mid 1980s)
Visuals: On a black background, the standard VTC logo zooms in slowly as a montage of four movie clips play behind the logo for a bit. After it transitions to a single clip, the logo flips out of existence to let a montage of clips from several other movies play out. At the end with a clip of a motorcycle breaking through a glass window, the VTC logo animation plays again as the clip fades out, followed by the logo flipping away once more.
Technique: Computer animation.
Audio: Same as the first two UK logos.
Availability: Unknown. [Examples?]
3rd Logo (Mid-Late 1980s)
Visuals: On a moving background, with a blue grid scrolling from the bottom, we see the VTC logo from the preivous logos on a white box, with a blue box over the logo with the word "V I D E O" below it, flipping and settling to the center. The logo flashes and then moves to the top right. Four clips flipping in, trying to cover the background. Then it disappears, and pieces of the VTC Video logo appear. Then a flash forms over the blue box, and then the word "VIDEO" zooms in.
Variant: On some tapes with this logo, it continues into the AB-Collection Film & Video logo.
Technique: Computer animation.
Audio: A rock-synth theme.
Availability: Seen on later VTC releases from the era. [Examples?]
