Warner Reprise Video

Background
Warner Music Video was the direct-to-video division of WEA Records (now Warner Music Group), set up in 1984 to distribute their music catalog to home video. In 1986, it was renamed to Warner Reprise Video in order to add more music titles.

(1986-Early 2000s)
Logo: Against a static background that flashes many colors, some lines, which quickly fade into white, fly onto the screen and collaborate in the center to form a dancing stick figure with a triangular head. As it continues to dance, several, , and sky blue-colored letters swirl around and form the words:

W A R N E R R E P R I S E V   I    D    E    O

At the same time, four -colored lines fly in and form a border around the stick figure, which is shaped like an elongated trapezoid. Then, the figure stops dancing, forming a "W" with its arms and an "R" with its legs. The border and text fade to white, and the static background fades to black.

Variant: A rare still version exists, in which the logo is in color. The whole logo (save for the inside of the trapezoid, which is an / gradient) are a shiny color. The logo is also in 3D and the text above appears to be thicker at the top, and thinner at the bottom.

Technique: 2D animation.

Music/Sounds: Starts with a reverberated timpani hit, then an energetic synthpop tune plays, with a heavy Fmaj7 chord halfway in that's followed by a 12-note arpeggiated MIDI chorus, ending with a heavier drumbeat, a 7-note synth tune, and a flourishing fade-out.
