'''Availability:''' Rare. It can be found on various Nelson and Embassy Home Entertainment releases like ''The Emerald Forest'' and ''The Graduate''. Could be in worldwide releases. This logo appeared on TV airings of ''A Chorus Line'' (the MGM DVD & Blu-ray releases of said film show its print logo on the back cover, but not on the DVD or Blu-ray) and the TCM airings of ''Bittersweet Love'' and ''The Man Who Had Power Over Women''. It's also preserved on the Nelson VHS release of ''The Red Balloon'', despite Embassy being mentioned nowhere on the packaging. The still version appears on the UK pre-cert release of ''The Howling''. It also made a strange appearance on a [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TXshRAIXFNk September 1987 Movie Channel broadcast] of ''Kiss of the Spider Woman''. The logo was retained on MGM's 1998 VHS of ''Sid and Nancy'' and a 1992 reprint of ''Blade Runner'' from [[New Line Home Entertainment|New Line Home Video]].

'''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.
 
'''Variant:''' Sometimes the logo would get sucked into the star in the X-like shape, complete with the motion blur.
 
'''Technique:''' 80s computer animation and early CGI effects.
 
'''Music/Sounds:''' A four-note synthesizer tune, followed by two drumbeats, and then another set of five synth notes. This is an alternate ending to the stock track "Tomorrow's World"
 
'''Availability:''' Extremely rare. The best place to find it is on old PBV tapes in Australia.
