'''Logo:''' On a gray background, we see a red vertical rectangle (representing a stylized shoe). Animated "shoelaces" appear at the bottom and begin to slowly make their way up the shoe, culminating in a nice big bow when the shoe is completely tied. The shoe zooms out while turning pastel and the words "HI-TOPS VIDEO" appear in black in a font similar to the old-fashioned "Kentucky Fried Chicken" logo. Below is a byline "A Division of Heron Communications, Inc.".
