'''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 Babyteeth Line, 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. | '''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.

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 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 whoosh-like laser zap is heard as the picture flips down. | ||
