In the United States, the BBC released their products through [[CBS/Fox Video]]/[[20th Century Fox Home Entertainment]] from 1985 to 2000. The license was taken over by [[Warner Bros. Home Entertainment|Warner Home Video]] in 2000, however their logo was been phased out on actual releases since 2007, instead using just the standard UK logo or the 2Entertain logo except on ''Charlie and Lola'' (only the print logo is shown). From 2017, the BBC self-distributes their releases in the United States.

* At the end of the 1997 VHS of ''Diana: A Celebration'' (one of the last tapes to use this logo), it is completely silent. This also occurs at the beginning and end of the UK VHS of the same release, as well as ''Poldark Series 1 Volume 1''.

*On some re-releases (mainly from those that originaly contain the 1984 version of the 1980 logo), if you listen very closely, you might hear the 1984 music from the 1980 logo playing faintly over the logo and warning screen, due to poor plastering.

'''Logo:''' Against a white marble background, three black boxes swing in from the right. As they turn sideways, the letters "BBC" enter each one. Once the logo is formed, three colored streaks (one {{Font color|blue|blue}}, one {{Font color|red|red}}, and one {{Font color|#00AF00|green}}) pass under it and leave similarly colored lines under the boxes. Finally, the word "'''''VIDEO'''''" (in {{font color|gray|gray}}) appears under the completed logo. Everything seems to be italicized, even the boxes.

'''Logo:''' A {{Font color|red|red}} screen flashes in a {{Font color|red|red}} lens flare, and it causes a BBC squares logo to appear, this time in a small, {{Font color|blueviolet|purple}} background. The background then glows in {{Font color|red|red}} as several flares in different colors, suddenly flashing one by one, light the BBC logo. The effect of flashing also appears on circles that left. The color in the background changes each time a flash appears.

'''Logo:''' We see several white lines stretching and forming a star-like shape, then these separate (explode) and disappear, leaving some of the dots moving, while the BBC logo appears in the center. The dots disappear after a few seconds.
