'''Logo:''' On a white cloudy background, three {{color|blue}} down arrows fly to the middle of the screen. A {{color|blue}} shaded square appears on the arrows, shading them and forming an even more abstract portcullis design, while the background fades to white. Then, a {{color|silver|chrome}} ribbon circles around the portcullis, and a thin {{color|red}} line draws in from the left below the square. The text "CASTLE HOME VIDEO" appears under the line, then flashes. | '''Logo:''' On a white cloudy background, three {{color|blue}} down arrows fly to the middle of the screen.

Then two parallelograms with "'''''CASTLE'''''" and "'''''VIDEO'''''" in a modified Microgramma font slide in from the left and from the right respectively, forming the portcullis design, and the company name flashes. | '''Logo:''' Against a white/{{color|blue}} gradient sky with a {{color|red|reddish}}-white horizon and a {{color|darlblue|midnight blue}} ground, a scarlet, an amber and a celadon green arrow, all with elongated tails and a black drop shadow fly down to the middle one-by-one and the tails shorten.

''' | '''Nickname:''' "Rainbow Oval In Space" | ||
'''Logo:''' On a space background with the Earth and the Sun in the distance, we pan over the lowercase letters "'''castle'''", as if we are standing on the letters, from left to right. Around the letter "'''t'''", the camera pans down and sharply turns in the opposite direction, then zooms out to reveal the text is rotating around the Earth (a la the [[Universal Pictures|Universal]] logo). As this happens, a series of rainbow light trails (a la ''Star Trek'') cover the space background, and after a couple seconds, the screen flashes white to reveal nothing but the words "'''castle'''" and "HOME VIDEO" on a rainbow-colored ellipse on a space background. | '''Logo:''' On a space background with the Earth and the Sun in the distance, we pan over the lowercase letters "'''castle'''", as if we are standing on the letters, from left to right.
