'''Parade Video''' was a video company owned by Peter Pan Industries (named after their namesake company, children's music label Peter Pan Records). In the early 1990s, '''Peter Pan Industries''' changed its name to '''PPI Entertainment Group''', but '''Parade Video''' (alongside Peter Pan Video and Ambassador Video) continued operating as a sublabel of PPI until 2006 when it was merged into PPI and renamed overall to '''Inspired Corporation'''.

'''Logo:''' On a navy blue-black gradient background, we see an odd pink shape on the screen, covering both the top and bottom of the screen. As it turns out, the pink shape reveals to be the Parade logo, in an outlined pink Haettenschweller font zooming out from the top screen and centering itself (the bottom part of the odd shape is the reflection) on the screen. Once centered, the white word “VIDEO” zooms out on the bottom and positions itself under “Parade”, then we fade out.

* There is a rare variant where the shape starts off pixelated but then gets clearer at the end. "VIDEO" is also much smaller and appears as a blur as first, before clearing up and zooming in a bit.

'''The coin and words then flip around, revealing up to 3 different results:'''
* On the reverse side is the Parade Video logo, different than its predecessors. This time it consists of the word "PARADE", in blue, with the P and the E extended downwards. In the space between the "P" and the "E" lies the word "VIDEO", in a Century Gothic-type font. Below that are three lines, each one shorter and a different thickness from the other. In the lines is a blue crystal-like object (presumably a diamond) that spins and shines.

* The reverse side of the coin is blue and shows the silver words "PETER PAN", in a "storybook" font. The words shift to the bottom of the coin, and its space is filled in with an animated silhouette of Peter Pan (which looks similar to the 1953 Disney version) sitting cross-legged and with his hands on his knees. The silhouette opens its arms wide as a shower of colorful stars cascades over the logo, turning the words "PETER PAN" green. A (TM) sign fades in soon afterward.

* On the reverse side is the AMBASSADOR VIDEO text, consisting of the word "AMBASSADOR" in a bold, compressed font that appears to be made out of gems, and "VIDEO" in a Helvetica-like font and extended. Between these two words, there is a horizontal line. All this lettering is in dark magenta color. Unlike the other variants, this appears to have no additional movement.
