Tempo Video

History
Tempo Video was originally formed as the children's home video division of MSD Video in 1986, later transferring over to WM Collins Video in 1989, and then being purchased by Anne and Ian Miles' Abbey Home Entertainment in 1990. The "Tempo" brand was expanded within the use of Abbey's products, including a pre-school label - Tempo Pre-School, and music labels such as Tempo Music.

The name was officially retired in 2000 after Just Entertainment's purchase of Abbey, but still appeared on some occasional releases until around 2003. After Just's bankruptcy and the formation of Abbey Home Media, they began solely using the "Tempo" banner for their older children's releases.

(1986-2003)
Logo:
 * 1986-1990: On a white background, a striped line grows and a V of the same font with extended tops is wiped in, forming "TV". The letters "empo" and "ideo" wipe into the screen in a Helvetica font after the T and V respectively. "Souvenir" in the ITC Souvenir font then fades into view.
 * 1990-2003: On a white background, we see the Abbey Home Entertainment logo spinning towards the viewer. After the AHE logo flies to the upper left of the screen, the same animation from the previous logo, both albeit light blue and sans the "Children's Stories" text below, occurs.

Variants:
 * On the VHS and DVD releases of The New Adventures of Mona the Vampire and the VHS release of Mona the Vampire: The Book of the Slimey, respectively, the logo is still.
 * Another variant seen on Preschool Funtime where the music starts after the AHE logo spins in.

Technique: 2D computer animation.

Audio:
 * 1986-1990: The logo begins with a string-like synth drone. A descending piano sting plays when the words wipe in, and a high pitched sawtooth sting plays when "Children's Stories" fades into view. The drone continues until the logo begins to fade out.
 * 1990-2000: The ending of "Cops on a Bike" by Paul Keogh, with the rest of the logo being silent.

Audio Variants:
 * Sometimes, it's silent for the 1986 version.
 * Starting in 1994, chimes sound when the Tempo Video logo wipes in.
 * On the DVD release of Read Along with Postman Pat, the music from the first Just Entertainment logo plays simultaneously with the music from this one.
