'''Availability:''' Uncommon. Can be seen on early releases of home video releases of shows such as ''Thundercats, The Transformers'', ''G.I. Joe'', ''Inspector Gadget'', ''Amigo and Friends'', ''The Adventures of the Little Koala'', and ''Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles'', among others. Also spotted on some Rankin-Bass video releases of the time, the Chuck Jones releases of ''Rikki-Tikki-Tavi'', ''Mowgli's Brothers'', and ''The White Seal''. You may also spot this on a few Japanese anime tapes like ''Robotech'' or some tapes of British cartoons like ''Wil Cwac Cwac'' and ''Roobarb'', and the Australian ''Dot'' cartoons should have this logo, too. The variant without the "WHOOSH!" at the end can be spotted on several ''Robotech'' releases from 1987, as well as ''The Teddy Bears' Picnic'' and ''Babar: The Movie'' from 1989. Also seen on later ''Gumby'' and ''Care Bears'' VHS releases. | '''Availability:''' Uncommon.

'''Editor's Note:''' Like before but more widespread, the logo is a source of nostalgia for those who grew up the company, as well as the debut of its famous "handwritten" logo. On the other hand, it has been known to creep out some kids thanks to its loud music and sudden "flipping" at the beginning. The warning screen that follows up from it is also known to get a few. | '''Editor's Note:''' Like before but more widespread, the logo is a source of nostalgia for those who grew up with the company, as well as the debut of its famous "handwritten" logo.

It all ends with the synth tune from the start of the logo, complete with a choir, with synth chimes at the end. | ||
'''Music/Sounds Variant:''' On the screener cassettes of ''Queens Logic'' and ''Bloodmoon'', an announcer says, "Here's what's new from Family Home Entertainment!" at the end. | '''Music/Sounds Variant:''' On the screener cassettes of ''Queens Logic'' and ''Bloodmoon'', an announcer says, "Here's what's new from Family Home Entertainment!" at the end. | ||
