Logo: On a white background, an amber rectangle turns many different colors as different colored rectangles from all parts of the screen (except for the left), while "ENTERTAINMENT" in a dark gray Triple Condensed Gothic font scrolls right-to-left across the screen. The rectangle turns gray with the "ENTERTAINMENT" text wiping in at the bottom at the bottom. A red rectangle with the words "STRAND VCI" with the "V" colored golden yellow, flips from the bottom of the screen. After the rectangle plasters itself on the screen, the "V" in VCI turns gray.
'''Logo''': On a white background, an amber rectangle slides in from the left and goes under a translucent white rectangle, followed by many more rectangles sliding in from all sides but the left, while "ENTERTAINMENT" in a dark gray Triple Condensed Gothic font scrolls from right-to-left across the screen. Eventually, the rectangle slowly turns dark grey, while the "ENTERTAINMENT" text appears at the bottom of it in black, slowly turning white. A red rectangle, plastered with "STRAND V⯁C⯁I" in a white Times New Roman font (but with the "V" in golden yellow), flies up and rotates to a sharp angle to the left, flying back onto the board into a similar position as the Video Collection logo, and the "V" turns dark grey as soon as it stops


Variant: Some tapes have a white "V" flipping in from the bottom of the screen before the red rectangle, and the "V" fades to gray (on the regular version, the V just suddenly turns gray at the blink of an eye in sync with the orchestral hit.). This may have been an animation timing error.
'''Variant''': Sometimes, a white "V" flies up just as a yellow rectangle slides in and covers up the golden "V" as the red rectangle flies into place. The white "V" then fades to the normal grey.


FX/SFX: Early '90s computer graphics. Cool as well. The yellow "V" turning to gray may not have been intentional, though.
'''FX/SFX''': The sliding rectangles, the panel flying up.


Music/Sounds: Three light synth chords and a reversed cymbal, then a orchestral hit with a loud bang, ending with a synth chord.

Availability: Notably seen on 1990-1992 video tapes and early Thomas the Tank Engine releases in the U.S. from late 1990 to 1993, but was also seen on The Mouse and the Motorcycle, Runaway Ralph, Ripley's Believe It or Not, and The Jungle Book anime.
'''Availability''': Uncommon. Notably seen on 1990-1992 ''Thomas the Tank Engine'' releases in the U.S., but was also seen on ''The Mouse and the Motorcycle'', ''Runaway Ralph'', ''Ripley's Believe It or Not'', and ''The Jungle Book'' anime.


Editor's Note: None.
'''Editor's Note''': The "V" turning from gold to grey is odd, but the print logo does show the "V" as grey. The variant appears to fix the golden "V" by layering a white "V" over the animation, but the delay makes it hard.

FX/SFX: The sliding.
 
Music/Sounds: Same as the Strand VCI Entertainment logo.
 
Availability: Seen on "Wild and Wacky Sports Moments, Volume 1". Despite that, none of the TTTE tapes had this logo, including Trust Thomas, which incidentally used the last logo despite being released by SHV.


Editor's Note: Same as the Strand VCI Entertainment logo.
'''Logo''': On a starry sky background, a globe of Earth flies in from the bottom right corner of the screen, rotating clockwise and donned with dark grey oceans and grey continents. As the globe freezes on a tilted North America, a grid pattern is wiped in from top to bottom. Then, a shiny black rectangle drops down from the top of the screen as it rotates around. Along with the rectangle, a red sign with a silver border "STRAND", in a Windsor Elongated font, flies and rotates in from the right of the screen and the silver text "HOME VIDEO", in a Futura font, come in from both sides and flip around once. When they all meet up, the logo flashes a thin white outline and freezes into a 2D image.

Logo: On a starry sky background, we see a gray model of the Earth spin around from the bottom left of the screen (With a star blooming on the UK map). After it stops at North America, a white grid pattern is wiped onto the globe from top to bottom. A black CGI rectangle flips from the top of the screen. "STRAND", in a Windsor Elongated font in a red rectangle, flies from the right of the screen. Once they come together, they flash and the "HOME VIDEO" text appears, in a Futura font.
'''Variant''': A placeholder variant appears on ''Wild and Wacky Sports Moments, Volume 1'', where the logo forms on a grey background. First, the rectangle (with "HOME VIDEO" already attached) slides up, followed by the "STRAND" rectangle flying in and rotating in from the right.


Trivia: Since Strand Home Video was the American counterpart of The Video Collection, a white star appears on the globe right where London is.
