'''Visuals:''' On a {{color|darkblue|dark blue}} background, a {{color|gold|gold-yellow}}, hexagon-formed "{{color|gold|G}}" with a square underneath it zooms in downward (a la the 1983 [[RKO Pictures]] logo), leaving behind a residue trail. When it gets to the centre, the "G" and the square turn from solid to segmented, and a line draws what looks like a TV tube, surrounding it. Both parts of the logo zoom in, and we quickly fade to the same logo, only smaller, and with "{{color|gold|GUILD HOME VIDEO presents}}" in Helvetica underneath.

'''Variant:''' A rare still variant with "{{color|gold|video is alive - live with it}}" shown below exists, which can be found at the end of Guild VHS releases.

'''Visuals:''' In the top-left corner of a black background, there is a bright light flashing before our eyes. The light reveals the same "G Over Square" logo, but coloured {{color|#007BA7|cerulean}}, and solid rather than segmented. Again, the TV tube is drawn around the logo, but underneath a light draws a {{color|teal}}/{{color|magenta|dark pink}} line that starts downward, then upward, and then straight (like the 1970 and 1978 [[London Weekend Television|LWT]] logos). When the line is finished, another flash of light reveals the words "Guild Home Video" above the line, and below it another reveals "Quality Video Entertainment". The logo then sparkles a bit.

'''Variant:''' A variant which is seen at the end of UK pre-cert VHS and Betamax releases starts with the name flashing in.

'''Visuals:''' Set on a white background, many of the (cel-shaded) 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.

'''Audio:''' A twelve-note synthesiser tune, with a synthesised "whoosh" as the "G" forms and a synth choir for the remainder of the logo when the parts of the "G" stem fly in.

'''Audio Variant:''' Rental copies of ''The Wizard'' have a tiny portion of the logo music play before the logo actually appears, due to an error.

*''Before Trailers:'' On a black background, there is a glowing outline of a movie theatre with little flashing lights inside. Two sets of {{color|red}} and {{color|gold|yellow}} light streaks slide up, the last set flashing and bringing forth a white Guild Home Video logo. The streaks zoom out to outline the theatre in {{color|blue}} with a ticket box in the front, little {{color|lightblue|light blue}} "chaser" light windows on the sides, {{color|gold|yellow}} "<<<>>>" lights on the marquee sides, {{color|hotpink|pinkish}} lights surrounding the centre of the marquee, and more {{color|gold|yellow}} lights on the top.

'''Visuals:''' Against a black background, there is a director's chair in a {{color|blue}} spotlight. The camera pans around the chair, and both parts of the Guild logo slide from both sides of the screen in a tilted position, then "{{color|gold|GUILD}}" appears underneath when the screen zooms into the chair.
