1st Logo (January 23, 1997-2012)

• 
• 

Visuals: Set against a black background, there is a spinning purple "V". Then the words, "VIDEOVISION" and "ENTERTAINMENT" (both being sandwiched between two lines) fly by to both sides of the screen as white stripes fly in on the sidelines, completing the symbol with the purple "V".

Later Variants: In later years, the logo was placed on a cloudy starfield background.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: None, or the opening music to the film.

Availability: Found on the company's movies from the period, such as The Millennium Menace and Prey. It might have been appeared on original prints of Paljas, albeit some other prints used the closing, in-credit variant as an opening logo.

2nd Logo (2012-)

Visuals: The animation is the same as before, but now the purple symbol is replaced by a blue "V". Also, when the entire animation is complete, the "V" has a yellow downward triangle flashing in at its bottom.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: None, or the opening music to the film.

Availability: Found on the company's movies from the period such as Mandela: Long Walk To Freedom.
