Background: VHD or Video High Density was a Japanese videodisc format, not unlike the CED or Laserdisc. It was marketed mainly by JVC or Victor Company of Japan,and in a lot of ways it was similar to a CED. It was released in 1983 and players were made until around 1987. Discs continued to be made until the early 90s.

1st Logo (1983-1986?) VHD 1983

Logo: On a light grey/white background, some blocky text slowly rotate, it turns out to be the VHD logo, which consists of blocky letters with rounded corners, the logo constantly changes colors and the outline shines throughout, After a while, the logo rotates back and fades out.

Variant: After the VHD logo fades out, another logo of a publisher/company might appear, such as Pack-In-Video, or Victor (with the "His Master's Voice" trademark on the left).

FX/SFX: Just the logo shining, changing colors and rotating, which is a bit simple, but alright.

Music/Sounds: A choir for the first half, for the second half, it turns into a flute with some guitar strums, electronic sounds play throughout.

Availability: Extremely rare. Seen on releases from launch until some time in the late 80s.

Editor's Note: None.

2nd Logo (1986?-Early 90s)
