Video Treasures

==1st Logo (1985-1988)==

Nickname: "Video Treasures in Space"

Logo:


 * Opening: On a zooming space background, we see the Video Treasures logo in white with a red line dividing the two words. It's elongated that's it the same width as "TREASURES". The word "PRESENTS" wipes in below from the top.


 * Closing: Same as before, but "PRESENTS" is omitted.

FX/SFX/Cheesy Factor: Typical '80s computer animation.

Music/Sounds: For the opening version, it has a snippet of the classical orchestral piece. For the closing logo, it is silent.

Availability: Scarce. This appeared on some releases of the era.

Scare Factor: Low.

==2nd Logo (1988-1998)==

Nickname: "Migraine Marble"

Logo: We see a stone wall whose bricks have the "VIDEO TREASURES" logo, from the 1st logo, carved on them. The logo is the underlined word "VIDEO" centered on top of "TREASURES", in which the horizontal line of the T is elongated to extend over the smaller "REASURES". The carved logo in the center brick fades into marble except for the underline under "VIDEO" which is red and zooms in towards us and shines. Finally, the stone wall background fades into a plain, blue-black gradient, and the white word "Presents" appears under "VIDEO TREASURES".

Variants:


 * There is a version of this logo that appears at the end of tapes that features the shining Video Treasures logo on the gradient background, but without "Presents". On the Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends tape "Rusty to the Rescue and Other Stories", this logo can even be seen at the beginning instead of the standard logo!, but not all releases have this variant.
 * Sometimes, the logo & its music is shortened

FX/SFX: The name turning into marble and zooming, the background change to blue and "Presents" fading-in.

Music/Sounds: A chime and a long warbling synth note that is held until the logo fades out. The first variant is silent.

Availability: This logo appears on budget versions recorded in SP, LP, or EP/SLP tape speeds of Media Home Entertainment releases of Fishing with Roland Martin. Video Treasures titles have since been re-released under the Anchor Bay name with the old Video Treasures FBI warnings and tracking reminders intact!. Also seen on The Making of Killer Instinct. The last tapes to use this logo, including Halloween, actually used Anchor Bay insignia on the packaging.

Scare Factor: Low. The chime/synth note can startle someone or give them a migraine (hence the name). None for the closing variant.

==3rd Logo (1997)==

Nickname: "Video Treasures in Space II"

Logo: On the same space background as the 1997 Anchor Bay Entertainment logo, we see the words "PRESENTS THE LIBRARY OF ANIMATED" and the Video Treasures logo fades in.

FX/SFX: The swinging, the fading.

Music/Sounds: Same as the 1997 Anchor Bay Entertainment logo.

Availability: Appears on Anchor Bay's Hercules.

Scare Factor: None.
