'''Logo</u>: On a {{Font color|blue|blue}} background, we see the green "{{Font color|lime|'''''Jim Henson'''''}}" signature writing itself. Below it, the word "{{Font color|red|'''VIDEO'''}}" in spaced out letters, with a {{Font color|red|red}} line above it, fades in underneath. | |||
'''Variants</u>: | |||
*There is a still variant of this logo that features the white words "DISTRIBUTED BY BUENA VISTA HOME VIDEO" appearing at the bottom of the screen. This can be found on early 1993 tapes that have the off-center variant of the 1989 Jim Henson Productions logo before the presentation of a video and after the "Available on Jim Henson Records" bumper. In the UK, this variant was spotted on the ''Muppet Babies'' tapes as they were taken from the United States copies of these videos. | *There is a still variant of this logo that features the white words "DISTRIBUTED BY BUENA VISTA HOME VIDEO" appearing at the bottom of the screen.

'''Availability</u>: Appears at the end of several Jim Henson videos from 1992 to 1996. The original VHS of ''The Muppet Christmas Carol'' does not contain it (It was released under the regular Walt Disney branding), aside from a still image on one of the trailers on the tape. It was also seen on the promotional video for Jim Henson Video on the demo VHS tape of ''The Muppet Movie''. | |||
'''Editor's Note</u>: None. | |||

'''Logo</u>: It's the ending part of the 1989 [[the Jim Henson Company|Jim Henson Productions]] logo starting with the "dot the I" part, but "{{Font color|red|HOME ENTERTAINMENT}}" replaces "{{Font color|red|PRODUCTIONS}}". | |||
'''Variant</u>: Sometimes, the copyright notice appears under the logo. | |||

'''Logo:</u> We see a river scene in a forest at sunset for a second, and then pan up to a space background (a la the 1998 Lyrick Studios logo), where a {{Font color|lime|mint}} colored spark draws the words "{{Font color|lime|''Jim Henson''}}" in the signature font, while a comet creates the dot above "''{{Font color|lime|i}}''". Then, "HOME ENTERTAINMENT" appears flashing in on below the line. | |||
'''Trivia:</u> The forest scene might have been shot at Naples, Florida for ''Kermit's Swamp Years''. In fact, the movie itself uses the same forest as well. | |||
'''Variants:</u> | |||
* On the demo VHS of ''Kermit's Swamp Years'', the logo starts with the complete version of the music by itself after the {{Font color|blue|blue}} FBI Warning screen that popped up the 2nd time after the 9th [[Sony Pictures Home Entertainment|Columbia TriStar Home Entertainment]] logo. | * On the demo VHS of ''Kermit's Swamp Years'', the logo starts with the complete version of the music by itself after the {{Font color|blue|blue}} FBI Warning screen that popped up the 2nd time after the 9th [[Sony Pictures Home Entertainment|Columbia TriStar Home Entertainment]] logo. | ||
* There is a version of this logo where the view of the swamp is longer before panning up to the sky and the spark draws the signature in {{Font color|red|red}} instead of {{Font color|lime|green}}. The dot color created above the "i" by the comet is also changed to {{Font color|red|red}}. Another version of it, shown before at the end, has the white balance for the logo re-adjusted. | * There is a version of this logo where the view of the swamp is longer before panning up to the sky and the spark draws the signature in {{Font color|red|red}} instead of {{Font color|lime|green}}.
