'''Visuals:''' On a white background with a heavy blue tint, 2 crosses appear send out 2 ripples each right before shrinking, with 2 striped grey discs forming along with a solid pair of them with 2 concentric rings on the outside of them. They then shrink and reveal 2 tape spools, which start to become more visible and sketches of the outer tape shell start to form as the video tape parts appears along the rollers set up. A black oval with a large white "'''P'''" wipes in and drops down, following by an outline of a oval as well and drops down with it, pressing like a button to reveal a {{color|red}} upside-down triangle, representing a "'''V'''". All of these previously-mentioned actions are also happening at a extreme close-up as well. The text "'''PolyGram Video'''" appears one-by-one in sync with the music, and all of the blue tint and close-up action fades away, clearing the logo up.

'''Variants:'''
'''Variants:'''
* On several <u>LaserDisc releases</u>, the animation shows a LaserDisc being formed instead of a VHS tape, and even gains a realistic look and sits inside of a tray. At the end, the logo forms quicker and the disc fades out earlier, the text appears all at once and aligned to the left, and a {{color|grey}} LaserDisc logo (which is the LaserVision logo with "''LASER DISC''" below it) forms next to it. The closeups then fade out slower than usual.
