New Horizons Home Video

Background : New Horizons Home Video is a home video arm of Roger Corman's New Horizons, established in 1990. Prior to that, New Horizons/Concorde's releases were usually handled by various home video companies, such as Vestron Video or MGM/UA Home Video. In 2000, it was renamed to New Concorde Home Entertainment, and then later on in 2005 signed a deal with Buena Vista Home Entertainment, in which it was terminated in 2007 due to poor sales. It later signed its home video deals with Anchor Bay Entertainment and Shout! Factory to release its catalouge. In 2018, Shout! Factory acquired the overall film studio.

(1990-2000)

Nicknames : "The Sun", "Home Video Sun", "The Sun Line"

Logo : On a black background, an orange line stretches itself a bit. Then at the bottom of the line, "NEW HORIZONS" in a darker orange color and in a Futura font a crolls underneath the line. As this happens, above the line, the top half of the sun forms out of the background onto the line and flashes. When this happens "HOME VIDEO" with a line underneath, flashes itself under "NEW HORIZONS".

Variant : Sometimes before the FBI Warning, there's a still picture of the logo.

FX/SFX : The line, "NEW HORIZONS" scrolling underneath, the sun, "HOME VIDEO" flashing itself in.

Music/Sounds : None.

Editor's Note : None.

Final Note : In 2000, home video releases begin using the normal film logo as a de-facto home video logo.
