*It's not very common in the UK and Germany, but on Aussie, Brazilian, and Argentine tapes, this variant is common: Just before the logo settles in place, a white flash is seen, and the logo is now set against a {{Font color|dodgerblue|light blue}} background. Sometimes, only the still logo is seen, like on some Japanese tapes and LaserDiscs, as well as VHDs (basically the country's version of CED).

*One variant has the CIC Video logo ({{Font color|dodgerblue|blue}} background version) "morph" into the Paramount logo, which then morphs into the Universal logo. This was only seen on some Latin American videos as the beginning of a short promo to commemorative 1,000,000 copies of CIC Videotapes sold.

**A 1991 trailer tape had the {{Font color|blue|blue}} background variant flash into this particular variant. The Paramount logo also doesn not morph into the Universal logo.
*Some {{Font color|dodgerblue|blue}} background variants have the logo zooming out to the top as a {{Font color|deepskyblue|light blue}} marquee with white lines fades in below reading "GREAT FILMS", along with "from the Hollywood studios of PARAMOUNT & UNIVERSAL", which would lead into sneak previews of upcoming movies.

*Another background variant has the logo zooming out to the top but cuts to black which also exists and can be found on a 1986 UK VHS re-release of ''Woody Woodpecker and His Friends''.

'''Editor's Note:''' A logo with pretty decent animation for the time that has become a favorite of many.
