'''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 Home Entertainment|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 found on the [[Scholastic Entertainment|Scholastic]] DVD release and Amazon Prime Video print of ''Commander Toad in Space''. | '''Availability:''' Uncommon.

''' | '''Legacy:''' 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 Book's VHS releases of the 1980s and 1990s. | ||

'''Availability:''' Rare. 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 appeared at the end of the 1993 VHS, Scholastic DVD and Amazon Prime Video release of ''Commander Toad in Space'', long after it was no longer in regular use (likely due to that program's science-fiction theme). 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). | '''Availability:''' Rare.

''' | '''Legacy:''' This logo is pretty notorious due to its eerie and ominous atmosphere, and the rather cold way it caps off the company's tapes that used it, both of which seem quite unfitting for videos meant for children. An exception is at the end of ''Commander Toad in Space'', where it fits better with the program's science-fiction theme. | ||

'''Availability:''' Uncommon, it can be found on DVDs and VHS tapes from the company; a few DVDs are still in print. Like the last logo, this was also used on late-1990s era broadcasts of Rankin-Bass holiday specials (appearing after the R-B logo; some ABC Family broadcasts kept this into the 2000s) and plastered the Broadway Video logo on CBS reruns of ''Frosty Returns'' prior to the special's high-definition remaster (where the Classic Media logo plasters it). It also appears at the end of Amazon Prime's print of ''Marco'' (1973). A filmed still variant can be found on the 2001 CGI movie ''Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and the Island of Misfit Toys''. | '''Availability:''' Uncommon, it can be found on DVDs and VHS tapes from the company; a few DVDs are still in print.

''' | '''Legacy:''' 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. | ||
