After a few seconds of sizzling, it then transforms into the words "'''FAMILY HOME'''" (set in Babyteeth Line, a font reminiscent of ''Pac-Man''). Then, "'''ENTERTAINMENT'''" in the same font flies from behind the text on top of the screen and settles underneath the "'''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. | ||
'''Trivia''': The font used in this logo was also used in the opening credits of the classic Mexican TV series ''El Chavo Del Ocho''. | '''Trivia''': The font used in this logo was also used in the opening credits of the classic Mexican TV series ''El Chavo Del Ocho''. | ||

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 "f", "h", and "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 "'''Family Home Entertainment'''" appear letter-by-letter, akin to a typewriter. The picture then compresses downward away from the screen. | ||

A blue paintbrush similarly draws a "h" and a blue dot, and a yellow paintbrush draws an "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 "Family Home Entertainment", with each word in red, blue, and yellow respectively. | ||
