Sesame Street Home Video was a home video label owned by [[Sesame Workshop]] (formerly Children's Television Workshop), established in 1986 as a joint venture with [[Random House Home Video]] under the name My Sesame Street Home Video. In 1993, the name was dropped, though it was re-established around 1995 when Sesame Workshop moved distribution to [[Sony Wonder]]. The label was retired again in 2001. | '''Sesame Street Home Video''' was a home video label owned by [[Sesame Workshop]] (formerly Children's Television Workshop), established in 1986 as a joint venture with [[Random House Home Video]] under the name My Sesame Street Home Video.

'''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!" (lifted from a pre-existing Sesame Street sketch). | '''Logo:''' Fading from the 1983 [[Sesame Workshop|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}}).
