 '''Visuals:''' On a zooming space background, a large {{color|hotpink|pink}}/{{color|darkviolet|purple}} "sun" appears a few seconds in and slowly moves towards the screen while sizzling. After a few seconds of sizzling, it then transforms into the words "{{color|darkviolet|'''FAMILY HOME'''}}", set in "Baby Teeth," a font reminiscent of ''Pac-Man''. Then, "{{color|green|'''ENTERTAINMENT'''}}" in the same font flies from behind the text on top of the screen and settles underneath the "{{color|darkviolet|'''FAMILY HOME'''}}" text. All the text flashes and becomes white. After a few seconds, the logo flies forwards with a trail and splits upwards and downwards, leaving the background for the rest of runtime.
 '''Variants:'''
-*At the end of some tapes such as ''Beauty and the Beast'' (the 1983 [[Ruby-Spears Productions|Ruby-Spears]] version), the "[[Star Bright|Prevues of Coming Attractions]]" ID (which was also used on [[Warner Home Video]] releases, albeit with an alternate soundtrack) fades to this logo when the "sun" appears. This also appeared on pre-1985 tapes from Monterey Home Video and [[U.S.A. Home Video]].

 * Some post-1985 reprints retained this logo, including a 1987 reprint of ''A Gumby Summer'' and the 1986 re-print of ''Peter Cottontail's Adventures''.

-'''Visuals:''' On a black background, a {{Color|#FFA600|yellow-orange}} screen "flips" in by crawling the very back, the "top" and then down the front.. It has a design consisting of two solid lines and a segmented line in the middle (similar to what is used to practice writing the alphabet in school). One at a time, the letters "{{color|red|f}}", "{{color|blue|h}}", and "{{color|gold|e}}" are then drawn on the lines in a crayon-like font. After they draw, black dots appear in between the letters, and under that, the words "<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">'''Family Home Entertainment'''</span>" appear letter-by-letter, akin to a typewriter. The picture then compresses downward away from the screen.

Three very fast synth-trumpet notes bring forth the periods after each initial, and a toy piano that plays a descending tune is used when the company's name appears. At the end, a laser zap is heard as the picture flips down.

-'''Audio:''' A four-note synth tune (which was done on the Roland D-50 synthesizer by using the "Staccato Heaven" patch) can be heard at the start, followed by a two-note synth horn tune, then silence, followed by another 2-note synth horn tune when the "{{color|red|f}}" is being drawn and a synthesized stinger when the {{color|red}} dot appears, followed by a descending harp sound and a 5-note horn-like tune when the "{{color|blue|h}}" is being drawn and another synthesized stinger when the {{color|blue}} dot appears, followed by an ascending then descending clarinet tune when the "{{color|gold|e}}" followed by yet another synthesized stinger when the {{color|gold|yellow}} dot appears, then a hybrid of an ascending synthesized tune with some clarinet notes marking the appearance of "{{color|red|Family}} {{color|blue|Home}} {{color|gold|Entertainment}}".
