'''Visuals:''' On a zooming space background, a large pink/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 the runtime.

'''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.

When the logo finishes and compresses downward away from the screen, the "also AVAILABLE from" screen zooms upwards instead of downwards from the screen.

'''Visuals:''' On a white background, a red paintbrush draws a "{{color|red|f}}" (the same one from the 2nd logo), then puts a red dot after it. A blue paintbrush similarly draws a "{{color|blue|h}}" and a blue dot, and a yellow paintbrush draws an "{{color|gold|e}}" and its dot. The camera pans to each letter as it is drawn and then pulls out. Above the logo, the paintbrushes "wash" on the words "{{color|red|Family}} {{color|blue|Home}} {{color|gold|Entertainment}}", with each word in red, blue, and yellow respectively.

Three different synthesized stingers play when each of the dots are added. An ascending synthesized tune with some clarinet notes mark the appearance of "{{color|red|Family}} {{color|blue|Home}} {{color|gold|Entertainment}}". The synth tune from the start of the logo plays again afterwards, this time with a choir mixed in, and synth chimes are heard at the end.
