'''Logo:''' Same as the Embassy Television logo, but "EMBASSY HOME ENTERTAINMENT" appears underneath the "☆E" instead of "EMBASSY TELEVISION".

*A variant on ''Mussolini And I'' has the "☆E" in blue with white boxes zooming out on a grey gradient background, with "EMBASSY" fading in below. After a few seconds, it fades out and the logo flips over to the Nelson Entertainment logo, and after that holds on for a few seconds, the logo zooms out and the background fades to black. The tape also has the logos rotating around on a black background as well. A synth note with a choir plays here, with an announcer saying "Embassy Home Entertainment, a division of Nelson Entertainment", with the shorter variant having a abridged version with a flute playing and no announcer.

'''Music/Sounds:''' Same as the Embassy Television logo, but the fifth note is a higher note than usual and after the sixth note in the theme, we instead hear a 10-note synth-flute section. This was composed by Ray Colcord, who also composed the main Embassy Television logo. Silent for worldwide releases, except a jazzy '80s-like synth tune for German releases.

'''Nicknames:''' "☆E II", "Neon ☆E Sign", "The Big E in Video", "Flashing ☆E"


'''Logo:''' On a black background, a {{color|gold|yellow}} neon star zooms out, which starts off {{color|red}} in its trails, and flashes, revealing the Embassy "{{color|blue|E}}" in {{color|blue|dark blue}}. A neon "E" zooms out much like the star, and the logo flashes, gaining a white outline and filling the star with {{color|red}}. "THE BIG" and "IN VIDEO" in a {{color|red}} Microgramma font zoom out one by one, flashing each time, as well as the star, and gaining a orange glow and drop-shadow. As they all stop, the logo's outline shines over and over with choppy cuts.

'''FX/SFX:''' The zooming and flashing. It's '80s computer animation and early CGI effects.

'''Nicknames:''' "☆E III", "Golden ☆E", "CGI ☆E"
 
'''Logo:''' On a black background with a {{color|blue|dark blue}} graident stripe in the middle, a three-dimensional, {{color|gold}} version of the starred "E" logo comes in from the left of the screen turned diagonally. As it turns face forward, a similarly colored star outline floats as if coming down an invisible slope and comes through the star-shaped hole in the "E" and becomes its border. Below the "E" appear, also in {{color|gold}}, the words {{color|gold|"EMBASSY HOME ENTERTAINMENT®"}} appear. "HOME ENTERTAINMENT" just cuts in while "EMBASSY" fades in sync with the music.
 
'''Variant:''' The logo where the "E" is far out plays and dissolves over the 1982 logo; then a star trailing CGI dust showing the Nelson logo within spins around until it's in the center; then it fades into the Nelson logo and it proceeds from there. This appeared on a later German prints of some of their releases from Taurus Video.
 
'''FX/SFX:''' The moving "E", and the words appearing in sync with the music. Much better than the previous logos.
 
'''Music/Sounds:''' A fast paced, dramatic synth tune, which sounds almost like Japanese strings, with a rising synth note when the star comes flying in. The variant has a calmer synth fanfare that continues through the Nelson logo.
 
'''Availability:''' Rare. Seen on video releases of ''The Producers'', ''Defense of the Realm'', ''The Stepfather'', ''The Video Dead'', and ''River's Edge'', among (presumably) others. Oddly, MGM Home Entertainment preserved this logo when they released ''Eddie and the Cruisers'' in 1998.
