Music/Sounds: A low, drawn-out synth note, a whoosh when the text appears, and a higher synth note when the sparkle appears.

Availability: Scarce. Only known to have appeared on Four Weddings and a Funeral.

2nd Bumper (October 12, 1994-August 18, 1998)
Bumper: On a blue background with a PolyGram Video logo wallpaper, the white stacked words "FEATURE PRESENTATION" zoom in ultra fast.

3rd Bumper (August 18, 1998-2002)
Bumper: On a gradient background with a "POLYGRAM VIDEO" wallpaper, a large, silver "FEATURE" in 3D flies down from the above right from the screen while "PRESENTATION" (also silver and 3D, but smaller than "FEATURE") zooms in at the bottom. Then they fade out via a stretch effect.
