'''Music/Sounds:''' A humming sound when the words zoom out, sounding bizarrely like the start of the Walt Disney Home Video "Sorcerer Mickey" logo, followed by a loud synth trumpet crescendo when the words turn bronze and the green words appear, closing with a single drumbeat. A silent version exists, as well. | '''Music/Sounds:''' A humming sound when the words zoom out, sounding bizarrely like the start of the Walt Disney Home Video "Sorcerer Mickey" logo, followed by a loud synth trumpet crescendo when the words turn bronze and the green words appear, closing with a single drumbeat.

'''Availability:''' Rare. At the time, ABC licensed its film and TV library to various companies for VHS/Laserdisc/Betamax release, such as Embassy Home Entertainment, Golden Book Video, CBS/Fox Video, Warner Home Video, and Republic Pictures Home Video (to name a few). The best way to find this logo is looking for an ABC Video Enterprises print logo on the cover. Of course, re-releases put out via Promotional Concept Group Inc. in the late 1980s-early 1990s will most likely use the 2nd logo instead. The silent version can be found at the end of the Playhouse Video release of ''Here Come the Littles!''. It's retained at the start of [[Echo Bridge Home Entertainment]] releases of ABC-owned titles, like ''Home for the Holidays''. Outside of VHS releases, this appeared on True Movies airings of ''No Place to Run'' and ''The Kansas City Massacre'', Talking Pictures TV airings of ''The Great Houdini'', a January 23rd 1996 AMC airing of ''The Wild Heart'', and the last few frames of this logo were accidentally kept intact on a DHX Junior print of ''The Littles'' episode ''The Spirits of the Night''. It may also appear on more prints of ABC made for TV Movies. | '''Availability:''' Rare.

'''Editor's Note:''' Seeing as ABC's circle logo appeared on the company's print logo (where it was placed on top of the ABC Video Enterprises logo), it's a bit strange that it didn't appear on-screen. | '''Editor's Note:''' Seeing as ABC's circle logo appeared on the company's print logo (where it was placed on top of the ABC Video Enterprises logo), it's a bit strange that it didn't appear on-screen. | ||

'''Logo:''' On a white-green gradient background, we see the familiar ABC logo from 1962-2007. Below the logo, we see "Video" in a cursive font. They were intersected by some stripes. | '''Logo:''' On a white-green gradient background, we see the familiar ABC logo from 1962-2007. Below the logo, we see "Video" in a cursive font.

'''Editor's Note:''' The kids variant isn't bad due to additional element like the hat, and could possibly be based on ABC Saturday Morning block. | '''Editor's Note:''' The kids variant isn't bad due to additional element like the hat, and could possibly be based on ABC Saturday Morning block. | ||
