Sesame Street Home Video (formerly My Sesame Street Home Video) is a home entertainment company that was established in 1986 as a joint venture between [[Sesame Workshop]] (formerly Children's Television Workshop) and Random House to educate young children not just on TV, but on VHS. It was a huge success, but in 1993, Random House dropped this division and began releasing TV specials and new-to-video specials. [[Sony Wonder]] then took over Sesame Street Home Video in 1995 and they continued releasing videos until 2007, when [[Genius Products]] took over. Post-2010 ''Sesame Street'' home media has since been released by [[Warner Bros. Home Entertainment]] and [[Shout! Factory]]. | Sesame Street Home Video (formerly My Sesame Street Home Video) is a home entertainment company that was established in 1986 as a joint venture between [[Sesame Workshop]] (formerly Children's Television Workshop) and Random House to educate young children not just on TV, but on VHS.

'''Logo:''' Fading from the 1983 Children's Television Workshop logo and against a white background, we see the familiar {{Font color|green|green}} and {{Font color|gold|yellow}} ''Sesame Street'' sign come up from the bottom of the screen, but with "{{Font color|gold|MY}}" (in {{Font color|gold|yellow}}) taking the place of "CTW", and the rectangle being elongated at the bottom to make room for the words "{{Font color|gold|HOME VIDEO}}" (also in {{Font color|gold|yellow}}). An animated version of Cookie Monster is behind the logo (but only his head and arms are shown). He looks back and forth, and then takes a bite out of the top left side of the sign and chews it noisily and messily! He then licks his finger, and he then he has a delighted expression on his face, with his eyes spinning around. As the logo fades out, Cookie says "Delicious!". | '''Logo:''' Fading from the 1983 Children's Television Workshop logo and against a white background, we see the familiar {{Font color|green|green}} and {{Font color|gold|yellow}} ''Sesame Street'' sign come up from the bottom of the screen, but with "{{Font color|gold|MY}}" (in {{Font color|gold|yellow}}) taking the place of "CTW", and the rectangle being elongated at the bottom to make room for the words "{{Font color|gold|HOME VIDEO}}" (also in {{Font color|gold|yellow}}).

(lifted from a pre-existing Sesame Street sketch). | ||
'''Variant:''' There was a shortened version of the logo used in its later years – this one simply begins with Cookie eating the sign. | '''Variant:''' There was a shortened version of the logo used in its later years – this one simply begins with Cookie eating the sign. | ||

The camera zooms out under the sign, and we see Big Bird, Elmo, Snuffy, Cookie Monster, Ernie, and Zoe building something. Everyone except Elmo, who is standing on a ladder, walks away. Then, he puts their creation on the bottom of the sign and pulls the string, which stretches out to read "HOMe VidEO" with a smiley face in the first "O" and a star dotting the "I". Elmo smiles and giggles at the end. | ||
'''Variants:''' In 2000, this logo was modified twice due to Children's Television Workshop becoming Sesame Workshop. | '''Variants:''' In 2000, this logo was modified twice due to Children's Television Workshop becoming Sesame Workshop. | ||

'''Music/Sounds:''' A remix of the ''Sesame Street'' theme, as we hear Zoe (voiced by Fran Brill) giggling, Cookie Monster (voiced by Frank Oz) saying "This so very exciting!", Big Bird (voiced by Caroll Spinney) saying "Hey, that looks good!" and Ernie (voiced by Steve Whitmire) humming and snickering. After the "Home Video" is shown, Elmo (voiced by Kevin Clash) says "Yeah! Sesame Street Home Video! Ha-ha-hee-hee!". | '''Music/Sounds:''' A remix of the ''Sesame Street'' theme, as we hear Zoe (voiced by Fran Brill) giggling, Cookie Monster (voiced by Frank Oz) saying "This so very exciting!", Big Bird (voiced by Caroll Spinney) saying "Hey, that looks good!" and Ernie (voiced by Steve Whitmire) humming and snickering.

'''Availability:''' Rarer than the previous logo. It's seen on Sony Wonder videos and (some early DVDs of) ''Sesame Street'' specials, such as ''Elmopalooza'' and ''Elmo Says Boo!''. However, in the UK, it was seen on a few mid-to-late 90's VHS releases from Disney. Despite being discontinued in 2001, this also made two surprising appearances on the 2002 release of ''Elmo Says Boo!'' and the 2006 Australian release of ''Get Up and Dance''. | '''Availability:''' Rarer than the previous logo.
