Logo: On a black background, we see a crudely drawn doghouse. Then, a white square forms inside the doghouse as a head of a dog zooms out. and the "'''f.h.e.'''" initials in it's familiar script introduced in 1985 (colored green, red, and blue respectively) write themselves in. The dog's moves a bit as a red speech bubble with "kids" in it appears with a white outline, and the words "FAMILY HOME ENTERTAINMENT" fade in. The dog's tongue moves up and down.
 
FX/SFX: Simple animation for it's time.

Nicknames: "The Doghouse", "FHE Kids"
Nicknames: "The Doghouse II", "FHE Kids II"
 
Logo: First, we see a crudely drawn doghouse on a white background. A dog with a collar starts walking on the right side of the doghouse, sniffing the ground. The dog then walks in the doghouse. As this happens, The "'''f.h.e.'''" in it's familiar script introduced in 1985 fades in below (colored green, red, and blue respectively). The dog then peeks out with a bone in his mouth and barks (dropping his bone on the "'''h'''", of which it bounces off, in the process), then a red speech bubble with a black outline and "kids" on it appears next to the dog. The dog looks down and watches his bone fall to the ground. The words "FAMILY HOME ENTERTAINMENT" in Trajan Pro appears below "'''f.h.e.'''". The dog blinks a bit.


Variants:
Logo: We see the same crudely drawn doghouse as before, this time on a white background. The same dog starts walking on the right side of the doghouse, sniffing the ground. The dog then walks in the doghouse. As this happens, the  "'''f.h.e.'''" initials fade in. The dog then peeks out with a bone in his mouth and barks (dropping his bone on the "'''h'''", of which it bounces off, in the process), then a red speech bubble with a black outline and "kids" on it appears next to the dog. The dog looks down and watches his bone fall to the ground. The words "FAMILY HOME ENTERTAINMENT" in Trajan Pro appears below "'''f.h.e.'''' as the dog blinks a bit.


* On early releases, the logo appears completely silent on a black background. The doghouse has no hole at first, but then a white square stretches out, the dog's head pops out of the doghouse, and the initials write themselves in. The dog moves a bit as the red speech bubble with "kids" in it appears, and the words "FAMILY HOME ENTERTAINMENT" fade in.
Byline: From 2000 until 2004, the byline "AN [[Artisan Entertainment|ARTISAN ENTERTAINMENT]] COMPANY" fades in below the logo.
* For its later years a byline that says "AN [[Artisan Entertainment|ARTISAN ENTERTAINMENT]] COMPANY" fades in below.


FX/SFX: The dog walking, barking, and dropping his bone.
