### Background

**3-G Home Video**, legally registered and sometimes promoted as 3-G Productions, was a distributor of various public domain media on VHS originally founded in the early 1980s in Montebello, California, likely by Greg Winters. Little is known about the company due to scarce promotion in media. On July 31, 1991, the company was sued by Titan Sports, the former owner of what is now **WWE**, due to misleading promotion of a videotape of Hulk Hogan matches; the case was soon settled. In the mid-1990s, 3-G moved their offices to Canoga Park, California. It is presumed that the company shut down around 1999, as by that time, no new releases were promoted by the company.

## Logos

### 1st logo (1981?-198?)

On a black background, we see a blue "**3**" in a stylized font on the left of the screen, next to it is a blue line and 3 blue "Template:Font" stack one by one. Below is the text "Template:Font" in purple. Then the "**3**" turns red while the line and the "Template:Font"s turn purple. Then the "**3**" also turns to purple then, and then a purple thick rectangular outline appears surrounding the "Template:Font" text. Then the rectangle gets filled in with blue with the "Template:Font" text casting a shadow over it.

### 2nd logo (1981?-1989?)

On a blue background, there is the white text "3-G" in a basic font, which is lined like the CBS/Fox Video logos and at the top, has two diagonal pointing ends. Below it is "HOME VIDEO" in the same font as the above text and below that is a triangle-like object, making the logo look like a triangle.

### 3rd logo (1988-1990)

On a black background, we see the dark bold text "Template:Font". Below is the text "Template:Font". A bright white line is seen below the text and also below the line is "Template:Font".

### 4th logo (1989?-1993?)

On a black background, a triangular shape flashes down from the upper right portion of the screen, leaving a blue trail behind. When it settles in the center of the screen, the trail fades away, leaving the same logo as the 1st one but in black with blue outlines and a straighter font. This is then followed by a screen with the text "**PRESENTS**" on it.

#### Variant

On a repackaged VHS release of *Popeye* cartoons from 1992 and a *Bugs Bunny* VHS from the same year, the logo is on a purple gradient background, the presents notice is removed and the triangle shape is brighter.

### 5th logo (1993?-1995)

On a black starry space background, 3-D pieces of the 3-G logo fly in from the screen (with the sides (side faces) metallic blue and caps (front and back faces) a speckled gold color) and form together with the cut triangle coming in from the bottom. After this, "HOME VIDEO" rises from the triangle. The logo revolves once and slowly eases towards the screen after which "**PRESENTS**" flashes itself in as the space background zooms back revealing it to be inside a blue bordered square.

## Music/Sounds

### 1st logo

None. Some music from the program following might play, which is due to attempted plastering.

### 3rd logo

Cheering crowds can be heard while hearing lines from a wrestling commentator. This may vary in each of their wrestling series tapes. On the *Family Christmas Favorites* tapes, it is silent.

### 4th logo

A whooshing sound, which is a white noise swooping up and down with the overdrive/distortion effect.

#### Music/Sounds Variants

* On the blue background version of the logo, it's silent.
* The first known footage of the logo had the same whoosh, but **much** louder.

### 5th logo

A synth new-age space theme, with occasional gong sounds. At the end, there are four ascending tubular sounds, finally leading into a two-note finish.

## Scare Factor

### 1st logo

Low. The sudden music might catch some off-guard.

### 3rd logo

Low, depending on what you think of the red text on black darkness and the cheering crowds. None to low for the silent variant. But the next logo...

### 4th logo

Depends on each variant:

* Normal (early LQ version): Nightmare. The dark color scheme (blue and black), menacing logo design and sudden jarring appearance of the logo will freak people out, especially their target audience of children. The very loud whoosh will also startle a lot of people.
* Normal (HQ version): Low to high. A better quality print revealed that the logo is much quieter (and legible) than the initial upload suggested, thus rehabilitating the logo's dubious legacy. But, the dark color scheme, menacing logo design and the sudden jarring appearance of the logo is still there.
* Purple background variant: Low. The zooming and logo design are still present, but the silence and brighter colors calms down the scare factor a lot.

### 5th logo

Low. The animation towards the end could bother some, but it’s overall quite even more tamer than the previous logo.
