'''Music/Sounds/Voice-over Variant:''' Sometimes, this is accompanied by an announcer saying "Before you enjoy our main feature, here's a trailer from another major release from Guild, which is available at your local stockist now.".

"GUILD Home Video" fades in below, and the logo shines with a "wipe" effect. | '''Logo:''' Set on a white background, many of the rectangular parts of the Guild "G" fly in all directions.

'''Music/Sounds:''' "Breaking Glass (One)" by James Kaleth and Richard Thomas with whooshes from the lasers, along with an overly excited announcer saying "Introducing future releases from Guild Home Video!" or "Look out for these and other great new releases from Guild at your local video library!".
