Junior Home Video

Logo (1988-1994)
Nickname: "Big Letters and Little Ball"

Logo: On a white background, we see a blue "J" fall from the top of the screen and bounce back up into the center of the screen. A red "r" does the same thing and a blue ball moves from the left towards the J and "bounces" off of it leaving a trail of short lines and moves beside the "r". "JUNIOR HOME VIDEO" slides in from the bottom-right of the screen and stops in the center.

Technique: All the animation.

Music/Sounds: Some childish music that sounds like it was recorded from a music box, followed by some "boing" noises when the letters and ball "bounce" and some children laughing as "JUNIOR HOME VIDEO" slides by.

Availability: Scarce. Check your local library for tapes made by this company, including the Canadian VHS of The Man Called Flintstone, for example. In Canada, they are distributed by either Nova Home Video or Canadian Video Factory. Try looking for this logo on some Charlie Brown and Snoopy tapes from the period.
