'''Logo:''' On a white background, an {{color|orange|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 {{color|gray|dark gray}} Triple Condensed Gothic font scrolls from right-to-left across the screen. Eventually, the rectangle slowly turns {{color|gray|dark gray}}, while the "ENTERTAINMENT" text appears at the bottom of it in black, slowly turning white. A {{color|red}} rectangle, plastered with "STRAND {{color|gold|V}}⯁C⯁I" in a white Times New Roman font (but with the "{{color|gold|V}}" in {{color|gold|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 "{{color|gray|V}}" turns {{color|gray|dark gray}} as soon as it stops
 
'''Variant:''' Sometimes, a white "V" flies up just as a {{color|yellow}} rectangle slides in and covers up the {{color|gold|golden-yellow}} "{{color|gold|V}}" as the {{color|red}} rectangle flies into place. The white "V" then fades to the normal {{color|gray|dark gray}}.
 
'''Technique:''' 2D computer effects.
 
'''Music/Sounds:''' Three light synth chords and a reversed cymbal, then an orchestral hit with a loud bang, ending with a synth chord.
 
'''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.
