'''Logo:''' On an orange-pinkish background filled with brown silhouettes of kids, we see a blue upside down triangle with the familiar Sony logo on top of it. There is also a yellow ribbon-like rectangle over the triangle with the black words "KIDS' VIDEO" (with jumbled letters) and a huge black music note between them. | '''Logo:''' On an orange-pinkish background filled with brown silhouettes of kids, we see a blue upside down triangle with the familiar Sony logo on top of it.

''' | '''Technique:''' None. | ||
'''Music/Sounds:''' An ominous, screechy choir, which sounds like something from a horror/thriller movie. This ends with a quick orchestral glissando, similar to the Paramount Television "Closet Killer" logo. | '''Music/Sounds:''' An ominous, screechy choir, which sounds like something from a horror/thriller movie.

'''Variant:''' On the 1994 VHS of ''Jim Lee's WildC.A.T.S. Cry of the Coda'', a still of the logo is seen with {{color|#202350|'''"ALSO AVAILABLE FROM"'''}} above it in the same color as the Sony logo. This is after the initial logo's sequence ends. | '''Variant:''' On the 1994 VHS of ''Jim Lee's WildC.A.T.S.

''' | '''Technique:''' The ribbon flying in and the sun and the Sony text both appearing. For the still widescreen version, none. | ||
'''Music/Sounds:''' When the logo starts, we hear a riveting string note being held out, and when the ribbon appears, descending harp notes play in-sync with the ribbon. As the ribbon is in its position with the sun appearing, a brief flute melody plays, and when the Sony logo appears, everything rises to a majestic note complete with tubular bells that slowly stops once the logo fades. This is all synthesized, with some samples produced on the E-mu Proteus 2 Orchestral digital synthesizer. | '''Music/Sounds:''' When the logo starts, we hear a riveting string note being held out, and when the ribbon appears, descending harp notes play in-sync with the ribbon.

'''Music/Sounds:''' We hear a quick jet zooming sound, then multiple xylophone notes and a "TWING!" as the circular sun zooms back. As the sun spins around, we hear several drum taps, then three bouncing sounds. Two "dwong" sounds are heard as the Sony Wonder logo is finally formed, followed by an ascending twinkle. | '''Music/Sounds:''' We hear a quick jet zooming sound, then multiple xylophone notes and a "TWING!" as the circular sun zooms back.
