HGV Video Productions/Summary

Background: HGV Video Productions Inc. was the Canadian counterpart of Anchor Bay Entertainment (formerly "Video Treasures"). In 1998, Anchor Bay stopped using the HGV brand, and in August 2002 it was dissolved into Anchor Bay Entertainment Canada, Ltd. (1989-1998)

Nickname: “The Magenta Stripes”

Logo: On a black background, five hot magenta stripes come from the left, a white "HGV" comes from the right, and "Video Productions Inc." (in the same color as the stripes) comes from the bottom, all moving at the same time. As soon as they meet in the center, the word "presents" in white, fades in below. As a closing logo, the word "presents" is omitted.

FX/SFX: The moving parts of the logo, "presents" fading in.

Cheesy Factor: Barely any effort here.

Music/Sounds: Same as the GoodTimes Home Video “Rainbow” logo, which is a synthesized percussion tune. On some releases, it's silent.

Availability: Appears on Canadian VHS releases of Video Treasures/Anchor Bay back catalog, including Troll, Cannonball Run, Ghoulies, and Thomas the Tank Engine videos, to name a few. Also appeared on A Christmas Carol. Check eBay.co.ca, or maybe check thrift stores, flea markets, and yard sales in Canada for some tapes here. Some of their tapes do appear in America from time to time.

Scare Factor: Low. The music may startle some.
