'''FX/SFX:''' Everything happening in this logo, including the later addition of "Collection" writing itself in after the VCI merger in 1985. Pretty cool for 2D effects.

'''Music/Sounds Variant:''' Sometimes, when the static variant plasters over the Thames Television logo, the closing theme of the show will be heard, or in the case of ''Count Duckula'' VHS releases, the downpour of rain is heard over it.

'''Availability:''' Rare. Seen on tapes featuring programs produced by Thames Television (including ''The Benny Hill Show'', ''The Sooty Show'', ''Rainbow'', ''Danger Mouse'', ''Button Moon'', ''The Wind in the Willows'', ''Alias the Jester'', ''Creepy Crawlies'', and ''Count Duckula''—to name a few). You may also find this logo paired with that of [[Lollipop Video (UK)|Lollipop Video]] on certain tapes of the sixth and ninth shows, given that they were aimed primarily at children. The final tape to use this is ''Benny Hill's One Night Video Stand''. Like its successor (which was the third logo), the static variant was used to plaster over the usual Thames Television endboard.
