'''Logo:''' On a {{Font color|#4A0082|shady indigo blue}} background, we see the familiar Disney stylized, segmented castle (as seen in the 1985 Walt Disney Pictures logo), but shaded (from top to bottom) {{Font color|red|red}}, {{Font color|orange|orange}}, and {{Font color|gold|yellow}}. The white arch is already there, as is the "WALT DiSNEY" wordmark below, but with "{{font|Times New Roman|Television}}". The arch sparkles from right to left (in the same vein as said movie logo) as the words cross-fade to "{{Font|Times New Roman|Distributed by Buena Vista Television}}" or "{{Font|Times New Roman|Distributed By Buena Vista International Inc.}}" | |||

*In this version, the castle and text have been slightly separated, the text is now solid white and the "WALT DiSNEY" wordmark has now taken on its familiar form by becoming a tad bit bolder, the "sparkles" are now smaller and slower, the background is now clearer, and the [[Disney-ABC Home Entertainment and Television Distribution|Buena Vista Television]] reference has been removed. The background would later change to a purple-black gradient in 1995. | * In this version, the castle and text have been slightly separated, the text is now solid white and the "WALT DiSNEY" wordmark has now taken on its familiar form by becoming a tad bit bolder, the "sparkles" are now smaller and slower, the background is now clearer, and the [[Disney-ABC Home Entertainment and Television Distribution|Buena Vista Television]] reference has been removed.

*There is a variant that completely lacks any animation, leaving the text entirely still with no cross-fading.
