Logo: We see a grey background. After a second, the logo appears: English capitalized text reads "ORANGE VIDEO HOUSE". The O in "orange" is the colour orange, with a single droplet protruding from its base, resembling an orange slice with dripping juice. Lines make out the shape of a house and roof, and connect to the N in "orange" and the E in "house". A second logo card transitions on screen. The card spins horizontally, flying forward until it fills the screen, displaying the katakana "オレンジビデオハウス" (Orenji Bideo Hausu, Orange Video House). The characters in "Orenji" and "Hausu" are transparent with white and orange outlines, while the "Bideo" is opaque orange.

Technique: 2D animation.

Music/Sounds: An upbeat disco-style synth track for the first half, with the rest being a beat accentuated with bass guitar and drums.

Availability: Orange Video House only had less than 100 unique releases on Laserdisc and VHS (with their full catalogue being unknown), and some later releases do not have an Orange Video House logo video.
