Barney Home Video: Difference between revisions

'''Logo:''' On the ''Barney & Friends'' Season 1 background, we see the yellow text "'''Barney'''", in the Barney corporate logo font, zooming into the center and then to the top of the screen as a blue square appears. The words "'''HOME VIDEO'''" fades in below the square, sparkling. Inside a square is a cartoon version of Barney, with his green tummy. Barney's eye ''shines'', much like at the end of the opening credits for ''Barney and the Backyard Gang'' and ''Barney & Friends''.

'''Availability:''' Rare. Appears on early ''Barney'' videos, starting with the 1992 VHS of ''Barney's Birthday'' (though other copies don't have this logo and instead use just the [[Connecticut Public Television|CPT]] and [[Corporation for Public Broadcasting|CPB]] logos of the time). It was last used on ''Riding in Barney's Car'' (a.k.a. ''Are We There Yet?'') from 1995. These VHS tapes are becoming harder and harder to find.

'''Logo:''' We start with a yellow background, but then it suddenly reveals itself to be a CGI star spinning away from the screen and on a blue Magna Doodle-like tube, revealing a cartoon version of Barney, who is holding the tube, on a black background. As the star settles into its position, a huge flash occurs and the word "'''{{color|blue|Barney}}'''", in a blue 3D stylized, Barney corporate logo font, appears in front of the tube and flies up at the top of the screen, while the words "'''HOME VIDEO'''" appear below, letter-by-letter. Barney's eye shines once, exactly much like the 1st logo.  

* A prototype variant exists where the star turns a bit differently, the flash that occurs when the star goes into its position is dim and Barney doesn't wink. This appeared on the ''Barney Songs'' screener.

* Beginning in 1996, Barney tapes that are part of the "Classic Collection" (such as the 1996 re-prints of the ''Barney and the Backyard Gang'' videos), have a special variant in which "'''CLASSIC COLLECTION'''" appears underneath "HOME VIDEO", turning it gold instead of gray.

* On ''Barney's Stu-u-u-u-pendous Puzzle Fun!'', it replaces the opening title card in the ''Barney & Friends'' intro, like the last logo.

'''Availability:''' Common. While being used for slightly more than 21 years and counting, this logo has became easy to find.

* The Classic Collection variant was seen on tapes and DVDs with the spine with ''CLASSIC'' and Barney between ''COLLECTION'' and on DVD releases, the official DVD logo is also on the spine.

* It last appeared on ''Playground Fun!'' (2017). It also appeared on international releases from [[PolyGram Video|PolyGram]], [[Universal Pictures Home Entertainment|Universal]], [[HIT Entertainment|HIT]], etc. However, this doesn't appear on the original 2000 Universal UK DVD release of ''Barney: Let's Play School'', instead, the Universal logo plasters it for some unknown reason.
