'''Nicknames:''' "The Train", "The Streamliner"


'''Logo:''' On a black background, a spark bounces all over the screen. When it covers the whole screen, it fades to the Streamline Pictures logo. It consists of a large art deco-styled design, with a circle containing a streamliner (a type of train designed to reduce air resistance, with the modern-day equivalent being a bullet train), as well as 3 shiny arcs on the top, 3 bars on the bottom, and wing-like extensions on the sides. "Streamline", in a black Raceway font surrounded by a heavy blue outline, is above the train, and "PICTURES", in an striped orange art deco font, is written inside the bottom outline of the circle. The entire thing is contained in a white glow.

'''Availability:''' Until recently, this was very hard to find outside of VHS and Laserdisc releases put out by [[Best Film & Video Corp.|Best Film & Video]], [[Lumivision]], and later [[Orion Home Video]], with the Best Film & Video release of ''Robot Carnival'' being an example. Can also be seen on the [[Family Home Entertainment|F.H.E.]] release and [[Lionsgate Films|Lionsgate]] DVD of ''Speed Racer: The Movie'' (Note: Not to be confused with the 2008 movie) and a few '90s cassettes of ''Robotech'' from Streamline. 35mm prints of films they distributed in the late '80s and early '90s, such as the aforementioned ''Speed Racer: The Movie'' and 1986's ''Fist of the North Star'', also have this. Though it stopped appearing on new video releases around December 1993, this still appeared in theatres until the 1994 release of ''Great Conquest: The Romance of Three Kingdoms''. The Orion release of ''Dirty Pair: Affair on Nolandia'' retains this, as do Orion's reissues of the individual episodes of ''3x3 Eyes'' (where the next logo precedes this). It also appears on Streamline's releases of ''Colonel Bleep''. On ''Zillion'', it appears at the end of the videogram. The early variant makes a reappearance in HD on the Blu-ray of ''Robot Carnival'', both on the US trailer and the reconstructed US theatrical and Laserdisc cuts.

'''Nickname:''' "The Volcano"


'''Logo:''' Zooming into a bed of magma with rocks inside it at night, with flames flickering wildly, the words "Streamline Pictures" rises from the pool, colored a yellow/orange mix of colors. As the words rise up, the camera zooms into the words slowly, only for them to turn silver as they go above the clouds and into space. They rotate and shine a bit as they pass a green moon, and the camera rotates to face them straight-on, with them glowing a blue trail forwards for a bit before they retract. As they stop glowing, a burst of blue particles fires off from the middle of the screen and the logo continues to shine. A purple cloud can also be seen in the background.

'''Availability:''' Ultra rare. Found on most of [[Orion Home Video]]'s releases of Streamline material, including ''Lupin III: The Mystery of Mamo'' and ''Babel II''. Also makes an appearance on the 1998 [[RLJE Films|Image Entertainment]] DVD of the 1986 ''Fist of the North Star'' movie, as well as the [[Discotek Media|Discotek]] Blu-ray release on the US opening credits bonus feature. Don't expect this to be on any extant film prints of the company's theatrical releases of their dubs, as this one, unlike the previous logo, was videotaped.
