| 1st Logo (1985-1988) | 2nd Logo (1987-1998) |
Visuals: On a space background with zooming stars, the Video Treasures logo, which has the name in a rather thick font stacked in white with a red line dividing the 2 words, and the "T"'s crossbar also extended to fit it, swoops down and upwards into place. "PRESENTS" then wipes in below if the logo is used at the beginning of the tape.
Technique: 2D computer animation.
Audio: An excerpt from the classical piece "Symphony No. 8 in G major: Allegro con brio" by Antonín Dvořák.
Availability Note: On at least one known VHS copy of Charade where the first frame of the logo is frozen from the very beginning of the tape until when the logo is supposed to start, and then animates as normal. This was due to a processing error with the master tape where it had been paused on the duplicating VCR for too long.
Visuals: On a stone wall, several tiles are seen embossed with the Video Treasures logo on them. The one in the center then fades to black, along with the red line, zooms in to a larger size, and then shimmers with a light gold line. The background then fades to a blue-black gradient background, and the white word "Presents" appears below. The logo still has a stone texture, and has a white outline surrounding it.
Variants:
- A short variant exists where the logo is already in place.
- At the end of some post-1990 tapes, the end result is shown without "Presents", and the logo shines once.
Technique: 2D computer animation.
Audio: A synthesized chime note followed by a long warbling synth note that holds out and reverberates for the rest of the logo. Silence for the closing variant.
Availability Notes:
- On the Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends release Rusty to the Rescue and Other Stories, the closing variant appears at the beginning instead of the standard logo.
- The standard logo also appeared in the middle of the company's martial arts double features, such as Shaolin: The Blood Mission/Deadly Shaolin Longfist.
