Music/Sounds Variant: On the VHS version of ''Michael Jackson: Video Greatest Hits - History'', it uses the closing song "Heal the World (7" Edit)".
'''Logo:''' On a black background, there are several {{Color|brown}} boxes emitting light beams from left and right. The camera moves forward, then rotates to the left and eases back to reveal the boxes are part of a chain forming an oval. In the middle is a {{Color|silver}} zeppelin-like metallic object spinning. The structure reflects the light. The camera goes down and a small fireball erupts from the structure. The camera moves to the bottom and another fireball appears. It then continues to the front which shows the object saying "EPIC". The logo eases back in the middle, then lights flash through it and it glows. A black light surges through the other lights rapidly and one-by-one. Then at the bottom, "{{Color|gold|epic music video}}" shines itself on. The {{Color|gold}} box glows around the company name to border it. It looks like the Epic Records' then-current "Sunburst" logo.
