Video Selection Australia

Background : Video Selection Australia (VSA) was an Australian video label that mainly distributed animated films and documentaries. It was distributed through Roadshow Entertainment and from June 1991 to June 21, 1993, the company distributed ABC Videos.

1st Logo (February 1990-September 21, 1992)
Logo : We see a white box with a black outline on a black background. On the top are the words "Distributed by" in the middle we see the words "VIDEO SELECTION AUSTRALIA" with "VIDEO SELECTION" appearing in a serif font with "VIDEO" spaced-out to fit the length of "SELECTION", and "AUSTRALIA" is in a smaller, spaced-out Helvetica font. There is a red line between the words "SELECTION" and "AUSTRALIA".

Variants :
 * On ABC Videos from June to October 1991, the logo is on a white background without the box.
 * On the 1991 VHS of Gabriel Gate Cooks for Everybody, the logo is on a black background and the logo is white.

FX/SFX : None.

Music/Sounds : None.

Availability : Only seen in Australia on tapes distributed by VSA. The Magic Riddle is one tape that had this logo. Can also be seen on ABC Video tapes from June 1991 to September 21, 1992. The logo is strangely absent on the 1992 VHS releases of Babar: The Gift and Postman Pat Takes a Message.

Editor's Note : None.

2nd Logo (October 26, 1992-February 22, 1993)
Logo : Just a text message with the words "PROUDLY DISTRIBUTED BY" up the top of the screen, the VSA logo (which consists of "VSA" in a futuristic font, but the logo's letters are in white and the unfilled spaces are green, also with a white outline and the word "VIDEO SELECTION AUSTRALIA" in a smaller Futura font to fit the length of "VSA") and a byline which features the VR bug and the words "A DIVISION OF ROADSHOW ENTERTAINMENT"

Trivia : Although this was introduced as a print logo in early 1992, 1992 VSA releases up to September 21 used the 1st logo on the tape.

Variant : On the 1992 VHS of War of the Wild Cats, "PROUDLY DISTRIBUTED BY" is absent.

FX/SFX : None.

Music/Sounds : None.

Availability : Harder to find but should appear on all Australian tapes by the company, mostly by ABC Video. Depsite the logo appearing on the cover, don't expect this to appear on VSA tapes from March 22 to June 21, 1993 as they use the Roadshow Entertainment logo.
