Media Home Entertainment: Difference between revisions

'''Logo:''' On a twinkling space background, the navy blue stylized word "MEDA" lights up ala a shocking pink outline. The logo sparkles three times in sync with the fanfare. Then, a four-pointed star appears below the logo and flies across the screen from left to right, wiping in the words "Media Home Entertainment Inc." in similar font and coloring. The logo sparkles some more and briefly glows pink.

...with the first line connecting to the "M", and the second connecting to the "A". The two words continue their merge into each other, and then a stream of orange laser beams pass through the outline(s). Then the top of the logo leans backward at an angle, and a stream of pink laser beams cause the outline(s) to flash, resulting in the complete logo which is a silver chrome with a light blue glow. The bottom text "MEDIA HOME ENTERTAINMENT, INC." (in black but also glowing light blue) zooms in from the center of the screen.

'''Trivia:''' According to an uploading of the logo's slate by YouTuber LogicSmash, the logo was animated by Lumeni Productions of Glendale, CA, with an Oxberry camera being used to photograph the animation. The slate is dated December 14, 1980.

*On [[VCL]] releases distributed by the company, the stacked yellow words "EXCLUSIVELY DISTRIBUTED BY" fly down and reside at the center on the same space background, just before this logo begins.
