Kids Edutainment Video

(1988-1990)

Logo: On a light purple/pink background, the silver text "Kids Edutainment" scrolls to the left side of the screen. When it is fully off screen, a silver bar with the word "Video" on the far right of the bar in white, scrolls on screen. The bar zooms out and the "Kids Edutainment" from earlier, but stacked, rises from behind the bar.

Variant: Sometimes the logo is shown on a black background, and also positioned at a lower point then usual.

FX/SFX: The scrolling.

Music/Sounds: An echoing set of strings with a 4-note trumpet tune when the bar is seen and zooms out. This is actually a low-pitched version of an APM Music track, "Setting Sail" composed by Dick Stephen Walter.

Music/Sounds Variant: On an early print of Three Wishes, the logo with the black background is used with a toy piano playing the first three notes of "I Love You".

Availability: Can be found on 1988-1990 videos of Barney & The Backyard Gang. The black background variant can be found on A Day at the Beach, the 1989 re-release of The Backyard Show, and Three Wishes, although a few prints of this video use the regular version with the purple background.

Editor's Note: None.
