Here's another example of a typical AVID description, this time from a revision of the 3-G Home Video page. Again, verified to be following guidelines.'' To see more, check AVID:Demo 1 or AVID:Demo 3.

Background
3-G Home Video, legally registered and sometimes promoted as 3-G Productions, was a distributor of various public domain media on VHS originally founded in the early 1980s in Montebello, California, likely by Greg Winters. Little is known about the company due to scarce promotion in media. On July 31, 1991, the company was sued by Titan Sports, the former owner of what is now WWE, due to misleading promotion of a videotape of Hulk Hogan matches; the case was soon settled. In the mid-1990s, 3-G moved their offices to Canoga Park, California. It is presumed that the company shut down around 1999, as by that time no new releases were promoted by the company.

(1989?-1993?)
Logo: On a black background, a triangular shape flashes down from the upper right portion of the screen, leaving a trail behind. When it settles in the center of the screen, the trail fades away, leaving the same logo as the 1st one but in black with outlines and a straighter font. This is then followed by a screen with the text "PRESENTS" on it.

Variant: On a repackaged VHS release of Popeye cartoons from 1992 and a Bugs Bunny VHS from the same year, the logo is on a purple gradient background, the presents notice is removed and the triangle shape is brighter.

Technique: Analog computer animation effects.

Music/Sounds: A whooshing sound, which is a white noise swooping up and down.

Music/Sounds Variant: On the blue background version of the logo, it's silent.

Availability: Extremely rare. Many of their releases are out-of-print and hard to find. Only appeared on some VHS releases of Popeye, Looney Tunes (Porky Pig and Tweety Bird cartoons), Woody Woodpecker, and (possibly) Gulliver's Travels. It also appeared on a VHS release of Little Lulu.

Legacy: Due to a YouTube upload that elevated the "whoosh" sound effect to a high volume, this logo gained a notorious reputation as one of the loudest logos ever. This upload also rendered the text to be nearly illegible. A better quality print revealed that the logo is much quieter (and legible) than the initial upload suggested, thus rehabilitating the logo's dubious legacy.
