Video Selection Australia

Background
Video Selection Australia (VSA) was an Australian video label that mainly distributed animated films and documentaries. It distributed through Roadshow Entertainment and in the early 1990's the company started to distribute some ABC Video tapes.

1st logo (Late 1980s-Late 1992?)
Logo: We see a white box with a black outline. On the top are the words "Distributed by" in the middle we see the words "VIDEO SELECTION AUSTRALIA". There is a red line between the words "SELECTION" and "AUSTRALIA".

Variants:


 * The logo may sometimes be on a white background without the box.
 * There is a version where the background is black, and the words are white. The line is also white in this version.

Technique: None.

Music/Sounds: None

Availability: Only seen in Australia on tapes distributed by VSA. The Magic Riddle is one tape that had this logo. Can also be seen on 1991-1993 ABC Video tapes, with the 1992 VHS of ABC For Kids: Video Hits Vol. 2 being one of the examples to have this logo. Some known tapes that have the variant are the 1991 VHS release of Spot's First Video, the 1991 VHS release of Fireman Sam: Lost Cat (not seen on the 1997 re-print) and the 1991 VHS release of ABC For Kids: Video Hits (the 1993 re-print of the VHS removes it, however). The black background version was seen on the 1991 VHS releases of Gabriel Gate and Mr. Squiggle and Friends.

2nd Logo (Late 1992?-Late 1990s?)
Logo: Just a text message with the words "PROUDLY DISTRIBUTED BY" up the top of the screen, the VSA logo (the logo's letters are in white and the unfilled spaces are green) and a byline which features the VR bug and the words "A DIVISION OF ROADSHOW ENTERTAINMENT"

Technique: Again, none.

Music/Sounds: Again, none.

Availability: Harder to find but should appear on all Australian tapes by the company, mostly by ABC Video. One of the last known tapes to use this logo was the 1993 VHS Steam Across the Mountains: The Story of the Zig Zag Railway.
