Home Entertainment|Warner Home Video]], [[20th Century Fox Home Entertainment]], [[MGM Home Entertainment|MGM/UA Home Video]], [[Sony Pictures Home Entertainment|RCA/Columbia Pictures International Video]], [[Cinema International Corporation Video|CIC Video]], [[Thorn EMI Video (Australia)|Thorn EMI Video]], [[Embassy Home Entertainment]], [[Family Home Entertainment]], [[Paramount Home Media Distribution|Paramount Home Video]], The Cannon Group, [[Filmways Pictures]], and [[Orion Pictures|Orion Pictures Corporation]], among others.

'''Logo:''' On a blue/black gradient background with blue rectangular blocks at the bottom, gold lines appear from the lower-left-hand corner and become a series of gold bars as a silver sphere flies above in shadow. The bars disappear and reappear at a different position, then fly to the right, reappear at a further distance from the camera, and fly towards the lower-right-hand corner. Then a gold stylized "V" that vaguely resembles a "U" with both ends bent outward files in from the left, and the silver sphere floats down and through it as the gold bars settle within the "V". As this happens, the action fades to a white screen with a red segmented trapezoid with a curved bottom and a white segmented circle within. That zooms out, and "'''VideoVisa'''", in black, flips in below.
 
'''Variant:''' On some early tapes, the whole thing fades to a blue screen as "PRESENTA", in white, spins in.
 
'''Technique:''' The lines appearing and fading to the six gold bars, the movements and fading of the bars, the sphere, the stylized V, and the company name flipping in, all done in CGI for the first half, and 2D Animation on the second half.
 
'''Music/Sounds:''' Ten bars of synthesized warbling, followed by a synthpop fanfare.
 
'''Availability:''' Rare. Seen on some Mexican videocassettes at the time, including ''Footloose'' and ''Song of the South'' among others.

'''Logo:''' On a black screen, gold bars (more elaborate than in the previous logo) appear from the top and crisscross with each other, revealing a 3D gold version of the segmented trapezoid with the circle within. "VideoVisa" zooms out below in gold.
 
'''Technique:''' The lines moving and crisscrossing, and the company name zooming out, all done in CGI.
 
'''Music/Sounds:''' In its first year, a hard synth rock piece was used. Later on, a synthpop fanfare which is heavy on the brass came into use.
 
'''Availability:''' More common than the previous logo, but still somewhat rare. Like the last logo, this was seen on Mexican videocassettes at the time, including ''Robin Hood'' and ''Cinderella'' among others.

'''Logo:''' Against a blue screen, the logo from before zooms in spinning before settling in the center. When it does, it cuts to the warning.
 
'''Variant:''' On Columbia TriStar Home Video releases, such as ''The Swan Princess'', the background is the same black-blue gradient as the 1993 CTHV logo.
 
'''Technique:''' The zooming and spinning, done in 2D animation.
 
'''Music/Sounds:''' A loud synthesized whoosh.
 
'''Availability:''' Seen on later VideoVisa tapes, including ''Mary Poppins'' and ''Goofy's All-Star Olympics''.
