'''Nicknames:''' "Soda Pop", "Cheesy F.H.E.", "The Fizzling Sun"
'''Nicknames:''' "Soda Pop", "Cheesy F.H.E.", "The Fizzling Sun"


'''Logo:''' The screen fades to a space background as a large {{Font color|pink|pink}}/{{Font color|purple|purple}} "sun" slowly moves towards us. After a few seconds of sizzling, it then transforms into the words "{{font color|purple|'''FAMILY HOME'''}}", set in "Baby Teeth," a font very reminiscent of ''Pac-Man''. Then, "{{font color|green|'''ENTERTAINMENT'''}}" in the same font flies from behind the text on top of the screen and settles underneath the "{{font color|purple|'''FAMILY HOME'''}}" text. The logos then flash and become white. After a few seconds, the logo flies up with computer effects and we are left with only a shot of the stars before we fade out.

'''Availability:''' Rare. Can be seen on early ''Gumby'' and ''Care Bears'' releases by FHE. Other releases that may include this logo are ''Beauty and the Beast'' (Ruby-Spears version), ''Blackstar'', ''The New Adventures of Zorro'', ''Journey Back to Oz'', ''Dorothy in the Land of Oz'', ''Panda and the Magic Serpent'', ''Gaiking'', ''The Bear Who Slept Through Christmas'', a few ''Spaceketeers'' releases, and some ''Inspector Gadget'' tapes; just look for an over-sized box containing an early FHE print of this logo on the cover; this may also appear on early tapes with the next logo on the packaging. This logo made a surprise appearance on the 1987 reprint of ''A Gumby Summer'' and the 1986 re-print of ''Peter Cottontail's Adventures''. It first appeared on ''The Adventures of Little Lulu and Tubby'' Volumes 1 and 2, ''Tom Jones Live in Las Vegas'', ''The Adventures of Sindbad the Sailor'', ''The Littlest Warrior'', ''Panda and the Magic Serpent'', ''Space Angel'' Volumes 1 and 2, ''Peter Cottontail's Adventures'', ''Spaceketeers'' Volumes 1 and 2, ''The Return of Gumby'', ''Gumby Magic'', ''The Undersea Adventures of Captain Nemo'' Volume 1, ''The Adventures of Buster the Bear'', ''The Adventures of Reddy the Fox'', ''Candy Candy'', ''Captain Harlock'' Volume 1, ''The Adventures of Captain Future'' Volumes 1 and 2, and ''The Flower Angel''. Rather interestingly, this can be seen on the Amazon Prime print of ''The Great Bear Scare''. It also makes a surprise appearance on the 2015 [[Paramount Home Media Distribution|Paramount]]/[[CBS Home Entertainment|CBS]] DVD of ''Peter and the Magic Egg''.

'''Legacy:''' It's certainly one of the cheesiest logos out there, with the cheap animation, tacky space background, and the "sun" looking more like a fizzing tablet. The logo is also somewhat ominous with the somewhat unique and strange animation and the cracking and popping sounds (earning its nickname "Soda Pop"). Still, it's a favorite to those who grew up with it.  It is also worth noting that it's one of the first logos that used "Home Entertainment" when most companies still used "Home Video".

'''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''. One of the last releases to feature this logo was ''Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Movie''.

'''Legacy:''' Though it is also perceived as rather cheesy, the logo is a source of nostalgia for those who grew up with the company around this time, 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.

'''Availability:''' Common. Can be seen on most FHE releases from the 1990s, including later ''Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles'' tapes (surprisingly, it appeared on 2006 and 2007 DVDs of TMNT, specifically at the end of the episodes "Plan 6 from Outer Space", "Farewell Lotus Blossom", "Michelangelo Meets Bugman" and "What's Michelangelo Good For?", probably due to VHS masters being used), the original release of ''Tom and Jerry: The Movie'' and many Rankin-Bass and Lacewood Christmas specials. It first appeared on ''The Marzipan Pig'', ''The Little Match Girl'', and two volumes of ''Widget''. One of the last tapes to use this logo was the [[Hallmark Home Entertainment]] release of ''Merlin''. The still version can be seen on ''Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer'' (earlier prints use the previous logo, not still) and ''Bruno the Kid: The Last Christmas''. Surprisingly appears in full on the screener cassettes of ''Queens Logic'' and ''Bloodmoon'' before a preview for a ''Babar'' tape, as well as on the screener cassettes of ''Bad Lieutenant'' and ''Almost Blue'' before a preview for the first ten volumes of ''Robotech'' and on the screener cassette of ''Glengarry Glen Ross'' before a preview for several tapes centering on dinosaurs and dragons. This makes surprise appearances at the beginning and end of Epix.com's print of ''The Great Bear Scare'', while the Amazon Prime version has the first FHE logo. This is also preserved on the [[Pioneer Entertainment]] DVD release of ''Speed Racer: The Movie''.

'''Legacy:''' A surprisingly good follow-up to the previous logos, this is a favorite of many, thanks to its impressive use of CGI and camera.

'''Legacy:''' Not the most impressive animation to follow up with, but it's still a nice logo.

*Even though the company's film label [[FHE Pictures]] produced ''Jonah: A VeggieTales Movie'', don't expect this logo to appear on the film's DVD release. It does, however, appear on the screener DVD of said movie.

*The promo variant is a bit rarer, it appears on some releases from the time period, mainly Hallmark and Discovery releases, among a few ''Baby Einstein'' releases from FHE Kids. Whenever this variant appears, it always appears before the label of choice for the feature.

'''Editor's None:''' Though the sudden appearance may surprise some, the animation is a considerable improvement and a nice logo to end off the company's history.
