MTV Home Video is the home entertainment arm of MTV. The company's output was originally distributed by Sony Music Video and would soon be transferred to Paramount Home Video after MTV's parent Viacom acquired Paramount in 1994. Despite this, aside from Nickelodeon releases (which Paramount started distributing in 1996), Sony continued distributing MTV releases on VHS until 2000. | MTV Home Video is the home entertainment arm of MTV.

<u>Logo:</u> We see two men dressed pulling chains away from each other, causing a box to materialize and stretch in until it forms a square shape, we then cut to a wide shot of the two men and the box, revealing that the chains are actually connected to ends of the box, then they continue pulling, causing the box to split and form the familiar MTV "Big M" logo. When it's completely formed, the stylized "TV" letters fade in on the right side of the "M" at the same time as "HOME VIDEO", which is seen below in Arial. | <u>Logo:</u> We see two men dressed pulling chains away from each other, causing a box to materialize and stretch in until it forms a square shape, we then cut to a wide shot of the two men and the box, revealing that the chains are actually connected to ends of the box, then they continue pulling, causing the box to split and form the familiar MTV "Big M" logo.

<u>Music/Sounds:</u> A James Bond-esque piece of music that tenses throughout the logo and ends in a 9-note electric guitar theme. As "Stick it in. press play" fades in, the sound of a VHS tape being put into a VCR can be heard. | <u>Music/Sounds:</u> A James Bond-esque piece of music that tenses throughout the logo and ends in a 9-note electric guitar theme.

Was seen on the Australian version of The ''Ren and Stimpy Show'' VHS "Incredibly Stupid Stories", (Which is shown before some MTV Home Video promos) which is odd, as the VHS is from Nickelodeon (however, this could be because CIC Video distributed MTV Video releases in Australia/UK at the time) | ||
