'''MTV Home Entertainment''' (formerly '''MTV Home Video''') is the home entertainment arm of MTV. The company's output was originally distributed by [[Sony Music Entertainment|Sony Music Video]] and would soon be transferred to [[Paramount Home Video]] after MTV's parent [[Viacom (pre-2006)|Viacom]] acquired [[Paramount Pictures|Paramount]] in 1994. Despite this, aside from [[Nickelodeon Home Video Opening IDs|Nickelodeon]] releases (which Paramount started distributing in 1996), Sony continued distributing MTV releases on VHS until 2000 (international releases were distributed by [[CIC Video]] until 2000 on VHS).

'''Logo:''' We see two dressed men 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 the ends of the box. The men 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.
'''Logo:''' A shorter version of the [[MTV IDs|MTV Mirror]] ident, but with the words "HOME VIDEO" below the symbol.


'''FX/SFX:''' Stop motion animation, the appearance of the words and letters.

'''Music/Sounds:''' Sounds of dragging are heard when the men are pulling the box and a loud, echoing thud when the logo is completely formed.
'''Music/Sounds:''' The second part of the ident's soundtrack, but with a loud and different thud sound.


'''Availability:''' Rare. Seen on early ''Beavis and Butt-head'' videos such as "Work Sucks!" and "The Final Judgment", as well as ''The Best of Liquid Television'' and ''The Grind'' workout tapes.
