A school bus yellow screen "flips" in, with a design consisting of two solid lines and a segmented line in the middle (similar to what is used to practice writing alphabet letters in school). One at a time, the letters "{{Font color|red|f}}", "{{Font color|blue|h}}", and "{{Font color|gold|e}}." are drawn on the lines in a crayon-like font. They are colored, in order, {{Font color|red|red}}, {{Font color|blue|blue}}, and {{Font color|gold|yellow}}, respectively. Black dots appear in between the letters. Under that the words "<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">'''Family Home Entertainment'''</span>" appear, and then the picture zooms away downward toward the camera. | ||

'''Availability:''' Uncommon. Can be seen on early releases of home video releases of shows such as ''Thundercats'', ''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. This makes surprise appearances on the Amazon Prime and Tubi prints of ''The Bear Who Slept Through Christmas''. | '''Availability:''' Uncommon.

'''Editor's Note:''' | '''Editor's Note:''' Though also rather cheesy, the logo is a source of nostalgia for those who grew up with the company, as well as the debut of its best-known "handwritten" logo. On the other hand, it has been known to creep out some kids thanks to its loud music and sudden appearance at the beginning. | ||
