Logo: On a zooming space background, we see the Video Treasures logo in white with a red line dividing the two words. It's elongated so that it's the same width as "TREASURES". The word "PRESENTS" wipes in below from the top. On the closing variation, "PRESENTS" is omitted. | Logo: On a zooming space background, we see the Video Treasures logo in white with a red line dividing the two words.

Variant: There is a version of this logo that appears at the end of tapes that features the shining Video Treasures logo on the gradient background, but without "Presents" (on the Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends tape "Rusty to the Rescue and Other Stories", this logo can even be seen at the beginning instead of the standard logo!), but not all releases have this variant. | Variant: There is a version of this logo that appears at the end of tapes that features the shining Video Treasures logo on the gradient background, but without "Presents" (on the Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends tape "Rusty to the Rescue and Other Stories", this logo can even be seen at the beginning instead of the standard logo!), but not all releases have this variant. | ||

Availability: Rare. This logo appears on budget versions (recorded in SP, LP, or EP/SLP tape speeds) of Media Home Entertainment releases and such in the late 1980s to early/mid '90s. Beginning in 1996, Video Treasures' output started being reissued under the Anchor Bay Entertainment name (with the 1990 adjust tracking/FBI warning screens intact), although the Video Treasures logo still appears on the tapes. Such examples include ''God Told Me To'', ''Halloween'', ''Prom Night'', and others. | |||
