'''Nicknames:''' "PV", "PV Videotape", "VHS Assembly", "How to Assemble a VHS"

'''Logo:''' On a white background, parts of a video tape are drawn together (the background shows the parts in extreme close-up), and eventually two black conjoined ellipses with the letter "P" in one and a {{Font color|red|red}} upside down triangle (representing a "V") on the bottom position themselves onto the spools. The words "PolyGram Video" pop in one by one in sync with the music. The close-up parts then fade out, cleaning up the logo.

'''FX/SFX:''' The tape being assembled, and the "shadows" on the background. Very nice and modern graphics, especially for the 1990s.

'''Music/Sounds:''' A mellow rock theme combined with a whirring sound.
'''Music/Sounds:''' A mellow synth-rock theme combined with a whirring sound.
 
'''Music/Sounds Variant:''' On several LaserDisc releases, the theme is slightly extended and the final two notes are different.


'''Availability:''' Very rare. ''NFL Crunch Course'' and the ''Buffalo Bills 1993 Video Yearbook'' are 2 tapes that have this, along with international ''Mighty Morphin Power Rangers'' tapes (though the next logo was used on the box and tape label). Also seen on PolyGram's first 4 UK rental releases - the 3 known ones are ''The Crying Game'', ''Dust Devil'', and ''Braindead''. It's appeared as early as the 1990 VHS release of ''The Story of The Moody Blues: Legend of a Band'' and the 1991 release of ''Sabrina - On Stage''.
