1st logo (1986-1996)

Logo: On a white background, we see the Sesame Street sign come up to the bottom of the screen with MY and HOME VIDEO in yellow. Cookie Monster is behind the logo. He looks back and forth, and then, he takes a bite out of the left side of the screen, and chews it noisily and messily. Afterwards, he licks his finger and has a delighted expression on his face with his eyes spinning around. As the logo fades out, Cookie says, "Delicious."

Variant:

On Cookie Monster's Best Bites, Do the Alphabet, and Elmosize, there is a shorter variation that starts with Cookie Monster eating the sign, and ends with him licking his finger.

FX/SFX: Cookie Monster's animations.

Music/Sounds: The 1969-1992 Sesame Street theme (the slow paced harmonica rendition used at the beginning of almost all Sesame Street episodes until mid 1993ish). As Cookie takes a bite out of the street sign, we hear a hard, loud crunching, munching and biting sound (kind of like if you are chomping a carrot), and Cookie Monster makes the "Omm" Umm yum yum." noise, and as his eyes spin around, he doesn't make a noise. As the logo fades out, Cookie says "Delicious"

Music/Sounds Variants:

On the Best of Ernie and Bert, it is still the long version and the same music and munching sounds are heard, except, after the logo fades out, Cookie is silent.

In the shorter version, a cut short version of the harmonica rendition of the theme song and the same munching sounds are used.

On The Best of Elmo, the 1992-1998 calypso rendition of the Sesame Street Theme is heard, and as Cookie takes a bite out of the street sign, the crunching munching and biting sounds are much softer and quieter (kind of like if you are chomping on an apple), and Cookie Monster dies not make any sound as he is munching. Also, as Cookie's eyes spin around, Cookie sighs. As the logo fades out, Cookie Monster is silent.
