'''Availability:''' Uncommon. Seen on Golden Book Video releases from the era. It's still saved on copies with a print version of the logo which uses a different yet similar font for the words. Some early 1990s releases had the trademark Golden Books Spine which was used on all later releases. One video with this logo on it is the animated HBO special ''Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No-Good, Very Bad Day''. It can also be seen on some DiC video releases, including earlier releases of ''Madeline'' and the 1989 video ''Little Golden Book Land: The Great Harbor Rescue''. It also appeared on video releases of the rare anthology series ''A Bunch of Munsch''. All videos with this logo are now out of print, but can be sometimes found wherever used videos are sold. This was also oddly found on the Scholastic DVD release of ''Commander Toad in Space''.

'''Editors' Note:''' This logo has some pretty cool animation effects and is rather good for its time, and is sure to be memorable to children growing up with Golden's VHS releases of the 1980s and 1990s.

'''Availability:''' Rarer than the opening variant. It was seen at the end of a handful of Golden Book video releases from 1985 (that have the "version 1" fanfare on the beginning logo). This logo was spotted on VHS releases of ''Masters of the Universe - 3 Stories'', ''Three Richard Scarry Animal Nursery Tales'' and ''Herbert the Timid Dragon and Other Tales'', to name a few. It was also seen on reissues of said videos well into 1991. It also shows up in the middle of ''Masters of the Universe - 4 Stories'' (in-between the second and third stories). It also surprisingly appeared at the end of the 1993 VHS and Scholastic DVD of ''Commander Toad in Space'', long after it was no longer in regular use. In a few rare cases on some Canadian releases, this actually replaces the opening logo at the beginning of the videos (with voice-over), and was only spotted on a few releases, such as the 1986 release of ''Sandra Beech: The Pretend Box'' (to name one).

'''Editors' Note:''' This logo is not very suitable to feature after children's programming, what with the eerie soundtrack and the fact that it involves a comet collision in outer space, not to mention that the animation and effects are very second-rate (though from companies like Golden Book Video and Animagination, Inc., this can be expected.) It has been known to have scared or startled quite a few children viewing tapes that feature this logo. Though it does seem to fit with the sci-fi theme of ''Commander Toad in Space''.

'''Availability:''' Appears on the Golden Books Family Entertainment VHS of ''Frosty Returns''. It was also seen on Cartoon Network reruns of ''Underdog'' in the late 90s/early 2000s (when the show resurfaced on the Kabillion On Demand service in the late 2000s, the Program Exchange logo was present instead). The variant was seen on the late 1990s revival of ''Lassie'', followed by the Cinar logo (or Cookie Jar logo in recent years).

'''Editors' Note:''' This logo is clean and family-friendly, and was a pretty good way to bring their "G with a Book" logo to life, and is sure to still appeal to little kids watching their releases from the era.
