Front Row Entertainment, Inc.

Logo Descriptions by Coldreamer and Thisisanswer

Editions by StephenCezar15 and CNViewer2006

1st Logo

(1988)

Nicknames: "The Frame" "That Is a Start"

Logo: At a dark blue background at the top of the screen and a light blue carpet with buttons on the flooring, four pieces of a frame come together, then some trailing words zooming towards the screen read:

Front

Row

Video

At the bottom of the frame there is a wiping of a word saying: presents ...

FX/SFX: CGI as the pieces of the square come together, standard 80s trailing effects as "Front Row Video" comes in and the wiping in of "presents ..."

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: Quite a rare find to get as it is. Discovered on a 1988 VHS of Time Out for Hilarious Sports Bloopers.

Editor's Note: While the design is quite simple and somewhat looks like a placeholder, the animation here isn't too shabby for an 80s budget home video logo.

2nd Logo

(1991-2000)

Nicknames: "The Marching Man", "The Usher"

Logo: On a light blue background with a blue-grayish floor, there is a white sign laying on the floor. A usher that appears to have a weird face walks up to the floor and he picks up the sign, revealing a yellow border and the words:

Front Row

Entertainment

INC.

A black hemisphere with a yellow line suddenly appears behind the usher as we zoom in. As the logo zooms in, the usher's legs begin to disappears via a particle effect. When the logo is fully zoomed in, "Presents" wipes in by a particle effect.

FX/SFX: Seems to be cel-shaded CGI.

Music/Sounds: Marching sounds with a cheap whoosh that sounds like someone hissing.

Availability: Can be seen on specialty and public domain VHS tapes at the time.

Editor's Note: This is probably one of the cheapest logos ever made, from its stilted animation to the cheap sound effects.

3rd Logo

(2000-2005)

Nicknames: "Audience Ovation", "The Usher on the Door Handle"

Logo: On a marble-like door, there is the usher from the previous logo, even though there is no sign, on push handles that looks like gongs. We pan over to face the front of the door with a spotlight shining on the door. The door opens and we pan through the theater with seats, curtains, and a light projecting from behind the seats. When we get to the front of the theater, the words:

FRONT ROW

ENTERTAINMENT

INC.

appear via a blur effect in a golden Art Deco font. The logo shimmers.

FX/SFX: The gong-like push handles opening, the logo blurring in.

Music/Sounds: We hear timpani drumbeats then a majestic fanfare very reminiscent of Windows 98 with the audience clapping, which is a part of the opening sequence.

Availability: Can be seen on specialty and public domain VHS tapes and DVD's.

Editor's Note: This logo has surprisingly decent CGI, and is an improvement over the last logo.
