'''Logo:''' Over a white marble-like tile flooring, we see parts of what looks like a giant computer/TV flying into the screen. Coming together, they spin around and zoom in to the screen. Then a red box appears via "blinds" effect and spins in 3D while a giant "V", rendered in 3D, spins from the left of the screen. While this is happening, the screen turns black. When the box and "V" come together, the screen turns light gray, although a black rectangle remains. The rest of "ideo" fades in and some lines pop from below thebox and morph into the word "COLLECTION". Then the logo makes a shadow effect.
'''Logo:''' Cutting in from black, a grey floor with light and dark grey "marble" scratches and a light grey grid is seen slowly shifting towards the upper right as a red triangle zooms out from the top left edge and moves towards bottom center with a shadow effect. A angled grey rectangle with a black front face then "opens" up and several more pieces appear around it, forming up a strange TV-like monitor with a satellite dish on top. The device rotates around a full 360 degrees as several pieces fly off it, then reattach, and then zooms in while tilting violently until the black screen takes up the whole area for a brief moment. It then cuts back to the floor, although its now stationary, and a red rectangle takes up the middle via a "blinds" effect before retracting on the sides. The rectangle then flips around once and rotates up, as a black "V" spins in as well and the background fades to black. It then plasters itself onto the red rectangle as the rest of the white text "the ideo" fade in and white lines drop down from the rectangle. A grey background fades in, with a tall black rectangle remaining with a shadow effect, and the white lines contort into the white text "COLLECTION". The end result resembles the 1st logo.


'''Variants:'''
'''Variant:''' On PAL tapes in Spain, the logo reads "Video COLECCION''. Its unknown if there are other language variations.
*The name of the company is translated depending on where the tapes were sold. For instance, on PAL tapes in Spain, the logo reads "Video COLECCION''.
*Another variant has the words read "Video Music Collection".
*One variant (used as a print logo) has the red box read "VCI" (in the "Video" font) and the bottom of the black box say "Distribution", and the text is all in a different font. This variant is only known to appear on Silver Vision releases such as ''WWF Royal Rumble 1991'' and ''WWF Wrestlemania VIII'', and was also seen on the UK VHS of ''Garfield Gets a Life'' and ''Spider-Man Strikes Back''.


'''FX/SFX:''' All early CGI, which also isn't bad for the time.

'''Music/Sounds Variant:''' On some Spanish PAL tapes, an announcer can be heard. Translated from Spanish, he says: "Don't hesitate to join the millions in the world who "video-collect", and thanks to us learn, play, laugh, cry and know now what to do with their free time. Video Collection: a new concept on video is born to you. Thank you for your confidence."
