GoodTimes Entertainment: Difference between revisions

* 1985-1987: On a black-{{color|hotpink|pink}} gradient background, a outlined arch with four empty sections is seen bottom center, which is quickly covered by a fuzzy-looking, parabolic rainbow from left to right. Then, the rest of the logo fades in: the text "{{color|yellow|'''GOODTIMES'''}}" is arched above the rainbow in a outlined tubular font, "{{color|yellow|'''HOME VIDEO'''}}" is stacked below the rainbow in a similar font, and "'''''<span style="text-shadow: black 1.5px 1.5px 0px;">{{color|hotpink|{{font|Arial|PRESENTS}}}}</span>'''''" below everything at the beginning of the tape, or a copyright date in white at the end.

* 1987-1990: On a {{color|lightblue|sky blue}}-{{color|blue}} gradient background, a cartoon rainbow with eight sections wipes in from left to right, with a notable 3D effect to the entire thing. After it wipes in, the same text as before, but rendered with a 3D effect and in metallic {{color|gold}}, fade in. At the end of tapes, "'''''<span style="text-shadow: yellow 1.5px 1.5px 0px;">{{color|gold|{{font|Arial|PRESENTS}}}}</span>'''''" is omitted.

* A black & white version exists, which is seen on B&W films.

* On reprints of MCA Home Video releases distributed by GoodTimes, the 1983 MCA Home Video logo would play as normal with a freeze frame at the end and "UNDER LICENSE TO" appearing underneath, followed by the GoodTimes logo.

* 1985-1987: A rather generic synth tune in a cheerful tone.

* 1987-1990: A crystallized sparkling sound followed by a synth percussion tune.

* Seen on VHS releases from the time-period until 1990, namely ''Three Stooges'' and ''Abbott and Costello'' material.

* It can also be found on budget re-releases of [[Universal Pictures Home Entertainment|MCA Home Video]] content.

'''Visuals:''' On a black-{{color|blue}} gradient background with several stars and nebulas dotting it, a giant {{color|silver}} film reel glides across the screen at high speeds. When the front comes into view, a film strip with {{color|hotpink|pink}} cells is seen within the space, with every other space filled with the letters for "'''HOME VIDEO'''", though the space has only two spaces to represent it. The camera also starts to lower as the film reel flies backwards, revealing the rounded text "{{color|hotpink|'''GOODTIMES'''}}" in a shiny material, and the film strip straightens out beneath the logo.

* Seen on various releases of the period, mostly consisting of public domain films and cartoons, licensed classic material, and even films like ''Halloween 3: Season of the Witch''.

* The Platinum Series variant of this logo is seen on the 1991 U.S. VHS release of ''Robin Hood: The Movie'', the 1995 UK VHS release of ''The Adventures Of Pocahontas: Indian Princess'' from [[Tempo Video]], the 1997 UK VHS release of ''GoodTimes' Black Beauty'' (1995) from [[Channel 5 Video]], and the 2004 UK VHS release of ''Goodtimes's Jungle Book'' from [[Abbey Home Video]], respectively.

* It also replaces the "Rainbow" logo on some 1989-90 releases that uses earlier VHS masters.  

* One of the last releases was the 2002 DVD release of ''The Beatles: Unauthorized''.

* Filmed and videotaped versions exist. The former is also cropped while the latter is open-matte.

* A variant with an URL below exists. This variant exists in both filmed and videotaped forms, and a stretched variant also exists.

* A variant with "FEATURE PRESENTATION" fading underneath exists. This variant is also videotaped.

* A shorter variant where "NOW IN PRODUCTION" fading underneath also exists. This variant is videotaped.

* On ''Wulin Warriors'', the logo is colored white and is placed by the top left corner of the screen. This is to the left of the logo for [[Distant Horizon]], on top of the logo for [[Broadway Video]] and the above left of the logo for Pili International Multimedia.

* Seen largely on DVD releases of later content, as the previous logo was mostly used for VHS releases.

* The "FEATURE PRESENTATION" variant is seen on the DVD release of ''The Night Before Christmas''.  

* The "NOW IN PRODUCTION" variant is seen on a trailer for ''In Search Of Santa'' on the U.S. VHS release of ''Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer: The Movie''.  

* The ''Wulin Warriors'' variant was only seen on the aforementioned show, which was released after GoodTimes Entertainment filed for bankruptcy and was pulled after two episodes, before being put up on the AOL Kids service before that closed.

'''Audio:''' A brief synth note and a deep whir as the logo lowers into the pool, followed by a synth tune with heavy percussion, ending with a MIDI-like cymbal crash and three synth horn notes.

'''Availability:''' Seen on GoodTimes DVD releases from the time-period until 2005, such as ''The Nutcracker Prince'', ''Car Wash'', ''Earthquake'', ''Born in East L.A.'', ''Problem Child'', ''Jaws: The Revenge'', ''Judgement Night'', and ''Bustin' Loose''.
