'''Logo:''' On a black background, a blue glowing outline of a flattened Earth in the Van der Grinten style zooms out with a chyron trail effect, rotating while doing so. The letters "V", "C", and "L" wipe in one-by-one. All three have a moving "rainbow" effect to them. The world map in the background turns black, the background turns white, and "VCL" turns yellow. | '''Logo:''' On a black background, a blue glowing outline of a flattened Earth in the Van der Grinten style zooms out with a chyron trail effect, rotating while doing so.

'''Logo:''' On a black background we see a faint blue haze which widens and whitens as it opens from the top. The planet earth with black continents and a sparkle on top rises from below, situates itself on top when it is in full view and starts to rotate. The white letters "VCL" swoop in from the left center and right sides of the screen respectively and settle beneath the earth. A grey rhombus with "COMMUNICATIONS" in red flips up and a red rectangle fades in on the left leg of the "V"and three lines shoot from it and stop on the opposing side. The rectangle becomes segmented as a result. Everything vanishes leaving a growing spark which gives way to a yellow circle. The earth from before appears and spins. The VCL logo from before fades in from it's previous position and the "VCL" text rises to the middle and the yellow text "WORLDWIDE DISTRIBUTION OF VIDEO ENTERTAINMENT" fades in below. | '''Logo:''' On a black background we see a faint blue haze which widens and whitens as it opens from the top.

*A completely different version was found on international releases replacing the original logo with the previous VCL text in red with white, zooming in and stopping in the middle. "VIDEO", also in red with a white shadow, wipes itself in from the left. The animation carries on like before, only the text "WORLDWIDE DISTRIBUTION OF VIDEO ENTERTAINMENT" is in a different font and the VCL logo fades in above the text. The logo then plays in reverse. | *A completely different version was found on international releases replacing the original logo with the previous VCL text in red with white, zooming in and stopping in the middle.
