"Roadshow", in a yellow font (the same font, in fact, as in the first [[Roadshow Films]] logo, but with more bold), appears via "scanning" effect in pieces shooting out from the Australia before flashing. As this happens, the {{color|gold|yellow}} text "{{color|gold|'''HOME VIDEO'''}}" zooms in below "'''''Roadshow'''''" in an arc. | ||
'''Trivia:''' The logo is basically a squeezed-in variant of the 1979 [[Roadshow Films|Roadshow]] theatrical logo, with the addition of the "'''HOME VIDEO'''" and the footage being freeze-framed after "Roadshow" flashes. | '''Trivia:''' The logo is basically a squeezed-in variant of the 1979 [[Roadshow Films|Roadshow]] theatrical logo, with the addition of the "'''HOME VIDEO'''" and the footage being freeze-framed after "Roadshow" flashes. | ||
