VideoNow (End of Disc Bumpers)

1st Bumper (VideoNow) (2003-2004)


Visuals: On a white background is a stop sign on the top of the screen. Below the sign is the white words "END OF DISC" superimposed on a black bar. The words "PRESS [Stop button]" are below the text. Everything is in black and white.

Technique: None.

Audio: None.

Availability: Seen at the end of black-and-white PVDs from the time when played on the original VideoNow.

2nd Bumper (VideoNow Color) (2004-2007)


Visuals: On the same background as the then-current online bumper (and the index screen) is a rotating bar with the black text "end of disc" in lowercase Helvetica Bold. The bar slowly rotates from left to right, then rapidly spins as it quickly zooms out, fading to black.

Variant: On VideoNow Color discs from France, the bar reads "" in a bold robotic font. Also, the bumper quickly fades in earlier to show the bar quickly zooming in and spinning, and then stopping at the middle of the screen before rotating and zooming out.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: None.

Availability: Can be seen at the end of VideoNow Color discs, including The Fairly OddParents: Miss Dimmsdale/Mind Over Magic and the original VideoNow Color disc of Drake & Josh: Grammy.

3rd Bumper (VideoNow XP) (2005-2007)


Visuals: On the same background as the 2005-2006 VideoNow startup, a disc spins and appears from the bottom of the screen, stopping at the middle of the screen. The spinning disc transitions into the words "END OF DISC" in modified Sol font. Seconds later, the screen squeezes out and disappears via a TV shutdown transition.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: A remix of the first note of the VideoNow XP startup intro.

Availability: Can be seen at the end of VideoNow XP discs, including Dora the Explorer: Star Catcher and Drake & Josh: Football, as well as the VideoNow Color FX reissue of Drake & Josh: Grammy.
