Logo description by RarityLand, SnowflakesOmega, and edunk5Logo capture by RarityLandVideo capture courtesy of Chazmanization1st (Known) Logo(1995-2000s)<iframe frameborder="0" height="270" src="http://wikifoundrytools.com/wiki/closinglogos/widget/genericvideo/be548e66cf73b1cefea6d7f19c3bcedc32ee8740" width="480"></iframe>Logo: The letters for "Victor" in a white stylized font fade in one by one where they would briefly zoom in before zooming out whilst moving to the left on blurry live-action footage over a black background depicted as the following:What appears to be a skyscraper.A closeup of red roses.A 3x9 configuration of television sets of a person in front of something green (possibly grass).A piano in blue tint.The same roses from before.A street in an aqua tint.After the last letter finishes, it pans out to the center where it is revealed to have also included the "His Master's Voice" logo next to the first letter in the text's color whilst the footage fades out leaving it just plain black.Variant: A still version exists, possibly for video games.FX/SFX: Everything involving the popping letters and logo, the color-changing background. This was not bad animation for the time, which still looks good even today. It is very nicely done for a mid-90s CGI animation logo.Music/Sounds: A dreamy synth-choir theme with a piano section.Availability: Rare. Seen on releases from Victor Entertainment such as Excel Saga. The still version can be seen on most PlayStation titles; see the variant for details.Editor's Note: This is a very nicely-animated logo, and it has a very soothing musical theme as well.

The outline rotates so that the real "V", colored grey, is visible behind it and both the outline and the logo are facing the viewer. The outline retreats back into the logo, and the logo zooms up to the screen. The logo shines with a red glow. As it is shining, the words "Victor King Video" in grey (with numerous lines through them) come in from the bottom left and bottom right corner. The two versions of the word combine below the logo to form one red (with grey gradient) "Victor King Video". After a few seconds, the logo stops shining, and the logo fades out.FX/SFX: The logo outline coming up with a rainbow trail behind it, the logo and the logo outline rotating, the logo zooming up, the logo shining, the words coming in and combining, the logo fading out. Pretty cool animation for its time!Music/Sounds: None.Availability: Rare. Can be seen on tapes of Superbook; despite the fact that this logo is so old and the fact that Victor King Video only ever distributed the tapes for a short time before Tyndale was given the rights, this logo is very easy to find because they don't replace it at all on the old tapes.Editor's Note: None.

Logo description by Shadeed A. KellyLogo captures by thehugetvfan and Shadeed A. KellyBackground: Victory Television was a London-based television production company that's a joint venture of Sony Pictures Television and former SPT international production senior vice president of creative development, Victoria Ashbourne, that was founded on June 23, 2011. The UK production company is not to be confused with the defunct U.S. television distribution company Victory Television that became "MTM Television Distribution" in 1986, now "20th Television".

The solid red word "TELEVISION" is seen below the word "VICTORY". There is a black & white bird that flies in from the upper-right hand corner and lands on the letter "O". The bird then looks at us while the byline "a Sony Pictures Entertainment Company" in black fades and wipes in from the left and the bird moves his tail straight down and looks back to the left, looks down a little and looks back up. The bird then quick flies over to the letter "C" and moves his tail upward and remain still. All of the lettering is in Century Gothic font.Variants:On The Exit List, the logo is still and is underneath the Gogglebox Entertainment logo.From 2012-2013, there is a second bird that flies in from the upper-left hand corner and lands on the letter "T". The bird looks at us just like the first bird. As the first bird quickly flies over to the letter "C", the second bird on the letter "T" flies away.In 2013, a third bird flies in from the upper-left hand corner and lands on the letter "V". Same animation as the other two birds, however, the 3rd bird flies back from the way it came.On December aired episodes of certain TV shows, the logo appears on a snow background with snow on the logo.Below the logo, there is a network logo for either ITV or BBC. A copyright stamp is seen below the logo for BBC aired programs.FX/SFX: The bird flying, and the SPE byline fading and wiping in at the same time.Music/Sounds: The theme of the show or none.Availability: Common. It's seen on Tough Young Teachers, Draw It!, 5 Minutes to a Fortune, the short-lived The Exit List, and the now-cancelled Celebrity Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?.Editor's Note: None.
VidAmerica

Editing and Images by Eric S.Background: Initially a subsidiary of Video Corporation of America, VidAmerica was purchased in 1986 by a consortium controlled by billionaire investor Ronald O. Perelman (his holdings also included Revlon, Four Star, and New World Entertainment).1st Logo(1979-1985) <iframe frameborder="0" height="186" src="http://wikifoundrytools.com/wiki/closinglogos/widget/unknown/2fcca59d898ce433602c81d4407cae4fa91a20b4" width="331"></iframe> Nicknames: "Rainbow Trail", "Rainbow VidAmerica Trail"Logo: On a black background, the VidAmerica logo (in white) flies toward us with a "rainbow trail" effect. On the left side of the VidAmerica logo is a star-like symbol, also in white. The words Special Interest Video Software in smaller lettering appears below, in white. FX/SFX: The trail.Music/Sounds: A disco-style fanfare.Availability: Very rare. Can be seen on some videotapes and CEDs from the time, such as Hey Abbott!, The Unseen and Baseball: Fun and Games. It may be on a 1980 VHS release of Casablanca produced under their deal with United Artists, but it is unknown at the present time.Editor's Note: Between the rainbow Scanimation graphics and the disco music, this is very much a late '70s period piece. This is, however, a favorite of many, probably for that very reason.2nd Logo(1985-1992) <iframe frameborder="0" height="186" src="http://wikifoundrytools.com/wiki/closinglogos/widget/unknown/6ee05d2e1193e591c1474d46b6720a68dfd42786" width="331"></iframe>Nickname: "CGI VidAmerica"Logo: On a violet background setting, we see lots of VidAmerica logos moving past us. One turns to gold and turns to face the screen. The logo shines. FX/SFX: The turning of the logo.Music/Sounds: A synth tinkling sound, along with an orchestral note held out for the appearance of the gold VidAmerica logo.Music/Sound Variant: A closing variant was used for early releases that feature this logo. This time, the jingle ends with one last twinkle.Availability: Seen on any VidAmerica release from the time. Most releases of cartoons from VidAmerica (e.g.: Speed Racer, Felix the Cat) had this logo. Editor's Note: This logo uses top notch computer graphics for the time that hold up quite well today.

The graphics on the variant are very outdated. Music/Sounds: A bunch of whooshes, followed by a synth hit, with a quiet synthesized arpeggio holding.

Both words are just barely inside the tube. FX/SFX: None; this is completely still.Music/Sounds: A drum fanfare.Availability: Seen on old tapes from the period in Sweden.Editor's Note: None.2nd Logo(1980s) <embed height="232" src="http://wikifoundrytools.com/wiki/closinglogos/page/Videce+Videocentralen+%28Sweden%29/widget/youtubevideo/1015646911" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="276" wmode="transparent"/> Logo: Against a dark blue space background, a dark red Videce Videocentralen logo from before flies off to the top right, then a light cornflower blue one flies off to the top left, then a green one flies to the top. A yellow Videce logo flips up into the screen and disappears, followed by several small magenta logos appearing in a 3x3 pattern, moving from the top left in a clockwise spiral motion. This ends with the middle Videce logo to turn green and zoom up to the screen, followed by a light cornflower blue logo that disappears in a similar fashion to a pair of doors opening outward.FX/SFX: All the chyron effects, not to mention the cheap space background.Music/Sounds: Geoff Bastow's Full Frontal Funk from the Bruton music library, a moog-synth disco tune, synced to the animation and played twice. It's reminiscent of the theme song to S.W.A.T. by Rhythm Heritage.Availability: Same as the previous logo.Editor's Note: None.
Video-Rodven (Colombia)

Background: Video-Rodven was a Latin American video distributor, owned by the now-defunct <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rodven_Records" target="_self" title="Rodven Records">Rodven Records</a>. The company released VHS's and Beta's on Colombia and Venezuela. In Venezuela, they distributed Disney videotapes in the late '80s/early '90s through their VeneVista Video joint venture.1st Logo(Mid 80's-Early 1990's)<embed allowfullscreen="true" height="284" src="http://wikifoundrytools.com/wiki/closinglogos/widget/youtubevideo/e1c6a970140386f125570b0e57b57a6c848d235a" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="284" wmode="transparent"/><embed allowfullscreen="true" height="280" src="http://wikifoundrytools.com/wiki/closinglogos/widget/youtubevideo/6fe0f5e63d3e22e64a0da19e14cf0ca66ff3dbb9" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="280" wmode="transparent"/>Logo: Over a starry space background, we see two pairs of lasers flying towards the center, which makes the rainbow TV-tube shape with the blue glow, which zooms in to cover up the background, then clips from various movies likeLooney Tunes and 10in TV-tube shapes slide horizontally, from left to right; after that, the TV-tube shape zooms out and flies to the near-top, causing to create 3 more rainbow TV-tube shapes to rearrage in the Rodven Records logo-like formation, then they shoot black/pink lasers(the glow around TV-tubes briefly intensifies when they happen) to make "video-rodven" in the dark-blue font with the blue glow in the following order: the right TV-tube shape makes "vi", the top one makes "rod", the left one makes "eo-" and the bottom one makes "ven".FX/SFX: Whatever animation was used here, the camera is very wobbly (because the uploader applied the Stabilizer effect in the YouTube Editor). Other than that, no major issues despite it being a typical home video logo for the time.Variant: A short version exists, where it starts from the point where the TV-tube shape zooms out.Music/Sounds: An excerpt of "Fanfare For The Common Man (Earth's Loops)" by Emerson, Lake & Palmer, accompanied by laser zaps.Availability: Uncommon.Editor's Note:The animation and music may startle a few, but overall it's a pretty cool logo!2nd Logo(Early 1990's-199?)Logo: TBAFX/SFX: None.Music/Sounds: None.Availability: Scarce.Editor's Note: Lack of animation makes it a boring logo.3rd Logo(199?-????)<iframe align="right" frameborder="0" height="207" src="http://wikifoundrytools.com/wiki/closinglogos/widget/unknown/d07d50370844d976fc4eae51c6baceded1c88059" width="275"></iframe>Logo: Several white pieces appear from various directions and form the vinyls of the Rodven logo, and near the completion, the "rodven" letters fly in and place below. The result rotates to the camera.FX/SFX: Choppy 3D animation.Music/Sounds: Ascending sounds and a bang.Availability: Scarce.Editor's Note: The addition of animation makes it a slight improvement over the last logo.
Video-Semper (Poland)

(1994)Nickname: "The Pink Viva 'V'"Logo: On a green background, a flamingo pink triangle with 4 notches in the side flips in, along with a turquoise "S" on the side of it. When it stops flipping, it takes up the whole screen, before flipping up and leaving room for Polish warning text. After a bit, the music loops and "VS" combo flips to the center of the screen, before rotating around and revealing a different result, with the "V" now having a long line attached to it, underlining the word "video-Semper". The logo, however, is seen upside down before flipping into the correct position. After a bit, it spins into a vertical position and flips out of the screen. The background then fades to black as the name, address, and phone number scroll up.FX/SFX: The flipping.Music/Sounds: An ambient, flute-like synth tune played twice.Availability: Extremely rare. Seen so far on a copy of Good Cop, Bad Cop.Editor's Note: The strange music may scare some, as well as the sudden loop of it.

It was also seen on Japanese subtitled VHS tapes of various films licensed to them such as Alien Predators and Criminal Behavior, among others.Editor's Note: None.
VideoLeader (Latvia)

Background: VideoLeader is a Northern European DVD company that was shut down and probably a Latvian based home video distributor.(2000's)<iframe frameborder="0" height="186" src="http://wikifoundrytools.com/wiki/closinglogos/widget/youtubevideo/2e76d270f470a3900d50818d2fee19e8bc36d992" width="330"></iframe>Logo:At dawn with gold/purple tint, we pan over the snowy landscape as the tint turns blue. Out of one of snow dunes erupts a bumpy golden pyramid with the Video Leader logo (an abstract "VL" with "VIDEO LEADER" in the futuristic font below), with the front face in bumpy silver, embedded through, as snow on it melts. After few seconds, everything, including the pyramid, zoom out as the vignette gets bigger, so big that the company name becomes barely visible. The pyramid, as well as the snow around, fade to black and gets outlined in gold. At the same time, the same "VIDEO LEADER", albeit in gold, zooms out one-by-one below, followed by the same VL monogram forming over the pyramid, as they glow. The orange bar with the URL, sweeps in from the right below the name.FX/SFX: Great CGI.Music/Sounds: A synth tune with a quiet synth arpeggio playing in the scale of C-major a la Delta Home Video, accompanied by rumbles, transitioning into a piano arpeggio, ending with a single choir a la the Windows 98 startup sound (composed by Ken Kato). Several synth bells are followed by afterwards.Availability: Rare.Editor's Note: None.
VideoTours

(1980s)Nickname: "The Purple Triangle"Logo: On a black/grey gradient background, a purple triangle is seen in the top left portion of the screen. The triangle starts spinning towards the right, then center, of the screen. A blue rectangle swings onto the triangle and "VIDEO" and "TOURS" in yellow, slide in and collide themselves to form "VIDEOTOURS". The word zooms out onto the rectangle via a "pixie dust" effect and some pictures like a zebra appear one by one above the rectangle. A purple scribble draws behind the triangle.FX/SFX: All the animation in the logo.Music/Sounds: A mystic synth tune played on Roland D-50 with whooshes when the triangle rotates.Availability: Rare.Editor's Note: None.

A white rectangle-shaped light draws a yellow line around the square, and two "filmstrips" wipe in on both sides of the square, the left one wiping downward and the right one wiping upward. Just before they finish, a drawing of the famed Greek Acropolis building atop an elongated wireframe globe slowly zooms in. While it's zooming in, two horizontal lines wipe in above and below the drawing, again going in opposite directions. A pink light shoots out the letters in the word "Video", in a cursive font identical to the "Original" in Original Video's logo, and looking rather curvy. Finally, the letters in the word "Acropolis" shoot out, one by one, in a white Impact font next to "Video", both of which are at the very top of the square. The drawing of the temple, colored yellow-and-pink, has an "A.F." in the center of the globe below it.FX/SFX: All the animation in the logo. Definitely not quite as cheesy as other Greek home video logos.Music/Sounds: A funky synth-disco tune, which is a snippet of Herb Alpert's 1984 song "Bullish".Availability: Might want to check an old tape from Greece for this logo.Editor's Note: None.

The VB slowly zooms to us. A red stamp with "VIDEO BEST" fades in front of the logo.FX/SFX: Very primitive computer animation from Argentina, which contradicts their name.Music/Sounds: A kick drum with a repeating synth bass pattern. Later a bass guitar plays. This is actually from a version of Cerrone's "Supernature".Availability: Seen on some tapes that were released by them.Editor's Note: None.
