'''Music/Sounds:''' A synth note is held throughout, with a synth bass line that speeds up slightly near the end, followed by a synth fanfare in E♭ minor. A female chorus hums during this section, ending in them shouting "Go Guild!" (hence the nickname; it's hard to tell because the chorus is rather muffled). Oddly enough, it almost sounds like "Maniac", a 1983 song by Michael Sembello created for the film ''Flashdance''. | '''Music/Sounds:''' A synth note is held throughout, with a synth bass line (composed on a Yamaha DX7 synthesizer) that speeds up slightly near the end, followed by a synth fanfare in E♭ minor.

'''Logo:''' Set on a white background, many of the rectangular parts of the Guild "G" fly in all directions. When two parts of the G meet in the middle later on, it zooms out, and extra rectangles that make the stem of the "G" fly in. "{{color|gold|GUILD Home Video}}" fades in below, and the logo shines with a "wipe" effect. | '''Logo:''' Set on a white background, many of the (obviously cel-shaded) rectangular parts of the Guild "G" fly in all directions.

'''Music/Sounds Variant:''' Rental copies of ''The Wizard'' have the logo music start before the logo actually appears, due to an error. | '''Music/Sounds Variant:''' Rental copies of ''The Wizard'' have the logo music start before the logo actually appears, due to an error. | ||

'''Availability:''' More recent and easier to find than the previous logos, but still rare. Seen on the [[4 Front Video (UK)|4 Front Video]] re-release of ''First Blood'', and the original rental releases of ''The Wizard'' and ''Total Recall''. | '''Availability:''' More recent and easier to find than the previous logos, but still rare.
