'''Logo:''' On a black background, a small red sphere zooms into view. Zooming towards the red sphere are several silver lines, forming a silver "V/Triangle" on the sphere. The sphere settles near the top of the screen. Zooming in below it are the words "VESTRON VIDEO" in a futuristic font resembling that used on the title of the '80s Transformers cartoon.
'''Logo:''' Same as the [[Vestron Pictures]] logo, except "PICTURES" is replaced by "VIDEO".

* There is a re-animated/enhanced version of this logo first seen on the Ultra HD Blu-ray release of ''Dirty Dancing'', which opens with some VHS static and distorted music. It's unknown if this is a one-off variant or a new logo for the Vestron imprint.

'''FX/SFX:''' The sphere zooming in, the lines, and the zoom in of the letters. All in all, this logo has exceptional animation and looks very professional and modern-looking, even today.
'''FX/SFX:''' Same as the Vestron Pictures logo.


'''Music/Sounds:''' A chord followed by a few notes of piano and then a French horn-type sounder with a rising "ooooh" choir. Sometimes, it is silent, or on some later releases (verification needed) it had the Vestron Television music.

'''Availability:''' Uncommon. Can be seen on tapes from this era, such as ''SpaceCamp'', ''From Beyond'', ''Class of 1999'', ''Waxwork'', ''976-EVIL 2'': ''The Astral Factor'', ''Dolls'', ''Over Her Dead Body'', ''Age Isn't Everything'', ''Ghost Warrior'', ''Fear (1990)'', ''To Live and Die in L.A.'' (early prints have the previous logo), ''Valet Girls'', ''Parents'', ''C.H.U.D. II: Bud the Chud'', ''Ghoulies II-III'', ''Nova Video Library'', ''Naked Obsession'', ''Dead Aim'', ''Dirty Dancing'', ''Earth Girls Are Easy'' and later National Geographic VHS releases. On the 2003 Artisan DVD of ''Bride of Re-Animator'', this makes a surprise appearance, and the same goes for the Lionsgate DVDs of ''Personal Services'', ''Ironweed'', ''Slaughter High'', a TCM airing as well as a Amazon Prime print (the latter even appearing after Live Home Video's warning screen!) of ''Dead Sleep'', VUDU and Tubi's prints of ''Sex Appeal'' and ''Warrior Queen'', at the end of a FEARnet airing of ''The Gate'', and a recent Encore Suspense airing of ''The Bedroom Window''. This also makes a strange appearance on the MGM DVD of ''Basic Training'', before the 1995 MGM logo; the MGM logo, however, probably plasters over the [[Moviestore Entertainment|Movie Store]] logo. On the 2002 Artisan Special Edition DVD of ''Dirty Dancing'', this strangely plasters the Vestron Pictures logo.
