Channel 4 DVD

Background
Channel 4 DVD (formerly Channel 4 Video) was a home video arm of Channel 4 that released the channel's programmes on home media, and also select third-party programmes as well. For the first few years of it's operation, it's releases were distributed by VCI.

1st Logo (1995-2000)


Logo: It's the same as the television logo, only "VIDEO" flashes in below once the animation is finished.

FX/SFX: Same as the TV logo.

Music/Sounds: Same as the 1992 TV logo.

Availability: Seen on Channel 4 Video releases from the era, distributed by VCI.

Legacy: Even though Channel 4's ident changed in 1996, this logo continued to be used afterwards until 2000.

2nd Logo (2000-2005)
Logo: Just the 1999-2004 Channel 4 "Square" logo on a black background.

Variant:
 * Later releases from 2003-2004 have the word "video" in a white box below the Channel 4 Square plus the logo fades in and out.
 * On Bo Selecta! DVDs, the logo transitions to the DVD menu, which depends on the DVD release.
 * An animated variant exists where the logo slowly zooms out.

FX/SFX: None.

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: Seen on Channel 4 VHS and DVD releases from the era, distributed by VCI. The animated variant was so far only seen on Escape from Colditz.

Background
Shortly after VCI and BBC Video merged to form 2 Entertain, Channel 4 ended their partnership with VCI and began self-distributing their DVD releases.

1st Logo (2005-2013)
Logo: Just one of the 2004 Channel 4 stings without any video indicator.

FX/SFX: The logo animating.

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: Seen on Channel 4 DVD releases.

2nd Logo (2013-2016)
Logo: We see pieces of the Channel 4 logo (with footage from programmes in them) form together on a gray background, with the complete result forming the logo with the left block replaced with "DVD". The logo then rotates.

FX/SFX: The logo animating.

Music/Sounds: A tribal theme with a clang at the end.

Availability: Seen on Channel 4 DVD releases.

Final Note: As of 2016, Channel 4 licenses its DVD and Blu-Ray releases to Dazzler Media, Acorn Media, among other companies.
