Golden Books Family Entertainment: Difference between revisions

'''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''.

===2nd Logo (Closing, Alternate) (1985-1994)===

'''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).

==Golden Books Family Entertainment==

'''Availability:''' Appears on the Golden Books Family Entertainment/Sony Wonder VHS of ''Frosty Returns'', and on late 1990s CBS broadcasts of the special (in both cases plastering the [[Broadway Video]] logo). It was also seen on Cartoon Network reruns of ''Underdog'' in the late 90s/early 2000s, and more recently on Tubi's prints of the show (when the show resurfaced on the Kabillion On Demand service in the late 2000s, the [[The Program Exchange|Program Exchange]] logo was present instead), and on broadcasts of the [[Rankin-Bass]] holiday specials in the mid/late 1990s, typically after the R-B logo. The in-credit variant was seen on the late 1990s revival of ''Lassie'', followed by the Cinar logo (or Cookie Jar logo in recent years). The opening variant is extremely rare, only known to be seen on ''The Rudolph, Frosty and Friends Sing-Along'', a special tape released in conjunction with the US Postal Service's Priority Mail service in 1996.

===2nd Logo (1997-2008)===

*A shortened version starting from the "g" hopping exists.

'''Music/Sounds:''' A playful xylophone tune is heard, accompanied by strings at the end. Sometimes, the end theme plays over it or else it's silent.

'''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''.
