'''Availability:''' Extremely rare. You can find this on the earliest Thorn EMI Video releases, including their first fourteen releases (''The Tubes Video'', ''April Wine Live in London'', ''I Am a Dancer'', ''Can't Stop the Music'', ''Times Square'', ''Death on the Nile'', ''The Cruel Sea'', ''The Day the Earth Caught Fire'', ''The Best of Benny Hill'', ''Scars of Dracula'', ''Sophia Loren: Her Own Story'', ''S.O.S. Titanic'', ''The Royal Wedding'', and ''Queen: Greatest Flix''), ''Heartland'', and ''The Mirror Crack'd''. Don't expect to find this on British releases; prior to the debut of the second logo, Thorn EMI's releases in their home country usually didn't use any logo at all (even under their prior name of EMI Videogram) and just started with the opening credits or scenes of the film. | '''Availability:''' Extremely rare.

''' | '''Legacy:''' This might be very boring to some; it was most likely intended as a placeholder logo. | ||

'''Availability:''' Rare. Appears on ''Ready, Steady, Go!: Volume One'', the first few collections of ''Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids'', and ''Danger Mouse''. Thorn EMI also distributed releases from [[Thames Video (UK)|Thames Video]], [[Orion Pictures]], [[Hemdale Film Corporation]], [[Regency Enterprises]], The Saul Zaentz Company, and [[Carolco Pictures]]. Several releases that had this logo were ''Xtro'', ''The Evil Dead'', ''The Terminator'' and ''First Blood''. One of the first was ''The Burning''. This logo is also found on various pre-cert releases in the United Kingdom, including ''First Blood'', ''A Passage to India'', certain copies of ''The Wicker Man'' and the later pre-cert release of ''Watership Down'' (the very first release, from 1982, has no logo at all). At least in the United Kingdom, this began being used in early 1983 and continued to be used until Cannon purchased the Thorn EMI library. This logo also appears on some, if not all, Japanese releases on LD, Beta and VHS that were distributed by King Video, such as ''The Osterman Weekend''. | '''Availability:''' Rare.

''' | '''Legacy:''' It's a nice logo, and the music is light and catchy. | ||
