'''Availability:''' Extremely rare; seen on tapes of ''Steve Allen’s Music Hall'', early ''Hopalong Cassidy'' tapes such as ''Silent Conflict'' and ''The Marauder'', and classic films issued by the company under the "50s THEATRE" banner. These tapes were packaged in the same white clamshells as tapes from Walt Disney Home Video. This was also seen on the 1985 VHS release of the film ''Midnight Madness'' (produced by Disney, but without their name) and early compilations of ''The Ray Bradbury Theater'' (later releases of that show came from HBO Video and were reprinted in turn by Congress Video).

'''Logo:''' On a black background, we see the {{color|blue}} text "{{color|blue|'''BUENA VISTA HOME VIDEO'''}}" in the same font as the 2nd logo. The logo "shines" twice.
'''Variants:'''
* Sometimes, the text "{{color|blue|PRESENTS}}" in {{color|blue}} fades in.
* Before trailers, the text "{{color|blue|COMING SOON FROM}}" in {{color|blue}} fades in above the company name.
* One French variant of this logo has the word "{{color|blue|présente}}" in a cheesy {{color|blue}}/white font.
* At the end of Australian releases distributed by [[Roadshow Entertainment (Australia)|Roadshow Home Video]], "{{color|blue|DISTRIBUTED BY}}" appears below the "{{color|blue|HOME VIDEO}}" text.
*On Greek releases, {{color|blue|ΠΡΟΣΕΧΩΣ}} fades in above the logo.
'''Technique:''' CGI.
'''Music/Sounds:''' A synthesizer tune consisting of a whoosh and an echoing staccato synth chord. Sometimes, the logo is silent.
'''Availability:''' Extremely rare. It was first used on releases outside North America.
* It appeared on an Australian VHS release of ''Earth Star Voyager''.
* The "PRESENTS" variant appears on a few UK releases, mainly rentals. It usually appeared before trailers for Europudding films from [[The Movie Group]], and has been spotted on the UK rental VHS tapes of ''White Fang'' and ''The Maid''.
* In the US, this exclusively appeared on a few 1992 VHS releases, including select printings of ''Alvin and the Chipmunks: Rockin' with the Chipmunks'', ''Alvin and the Chipmunks: Funny, We Shrunk The Adults'', and ''The Very Best of the Ed Sullivan Show''.
