'''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 | '''Logo:''' Fading from the 1983 Children's Television Workshop logo and against a white background, we see the familiar {{color|green}} and {{color|gold|yellow}} ''Sesame Street'' sign come up from the bottom of the screen, but with "{{color|gold|MY}}" (in {{color|gold|yellow}}) taking the place of "CTW", and the rectangle being elongated at the bottom to make room for the words "{{color|gold|HOME VIDEO}}" (also in {{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 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). | ||
'''Variant:''' There was a shortened version of the logo used in its later years, which opens with Cookie eating the sign. | '''Variant:''' There was a shortened version of the logo used in its later years, which opens with Cookie eating the sign. | ||

'''Logo:''' Against a sky background, we see a close-up of the ''Sesame Street'' sign. The camera zooms out under the sign, and we see Big Bird, Elmo, Snuffy, Cookie Monster, Ernie, and Zoe building something. Cookie Monster throws a cookie off-screen. Everyone except Elmo, who is standing on a ladder, leaves. Then, Elmo 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" a star dotting the "I", and three lines above the second "O." Elmo smiles and giggles at the end. | '''Logo:''' Against a sky background, we see a close-up of the ''Sesame Street'' sign.
