===Background===
'''Toei Video Co., Ltd''' is the home entertainment division of [[Toei (Japan)|Toei]] that was formed in 1975 to distribute Betamax tapes, then VHS tapes. It was the oldest home video distributor ever in the world.

=== 1st Logo (1976-1989) ===
'''Logo:''' On a {{color|blue|blue}} background, we see the Toei logo from the era. Below it was the Japanese text "東映ビデオ株式会社" (which was "Toei Video Co., Ltd." in Japanese).

'''Variants:'''
*In early years, the text "制作・作業" (which was in English for "Production・Work") was shown above the logo.
*There is a version on a {{color|#add8e6|light blue}} background, with a {{color|red|red}} logo.
 
'''FX/SFX:''' None.
 
'''Music/Sounds:''' None.
 
'''Availability:''' Extremely rare. Seen on the first VHS and Betamax tapes released by the company, from 1975 to 1982.
 
'''Editor's Note:''' Not really a strong start, but it was something. It also follows a trend that other Japanese home video logos were doing, mainly having a white logo chyroned onto a blue background.

'''Logo:''' On a cornflower blue background, the large white text "Video" is seen in a bubbly font, with a much larger "V" than the rest of the text. On the top right ledge of the text, "TOEI" sits there in a squashed looking font.

'''Editor's Note:''' This is a really well animated logo, especially considering the actual Toei logo didn't really focus on animation. It could work well as the movie logo at the time as well.

'''Editor's Note:''' Once again, a well-animated logo that would substitute the Toei Company logo at some points, though the animation doesn't look quite as impressive as the previous logo.

'''Editor's Note:''' A rather jarring logo with the crazy in-your-face animation and buzzing sounds. Interestingly, this is the 1st time since the 1st logo where the Toei Video marker is used.

'''Logo:''' On a black background, a blue laser flies around a bit. It then carves into the background, producing a blue glow throughout the entire screen. The laser then draws a black triangle shape, before going downwards to wipe in the Toei kanji and disappearing. The logo then shines a bit before flashing white. The flash then dies down to fully materialize the logo in white, and reveals "TOEI VIDEO" in the same font/arrangement as before. The logo slowly zooms out as a lens flare is seen on the logo.

'''Music/Sounds:''' A hollow chime tune can be heard through out, with the sounds of a laser being heard as well. A loud "clank" can also be heard when the logo is complete, and a phazer sound when the logo flashes.
