Background
ABS-CBN Video was a home entertainment company located at Metro Manila, Philippines. It distributed ABS-CBN shows and some Star Cinema releases (at the time, distribution rights were shared with Viva Video and Regal Home Video), as well as the ABS-CBN owned OctoArts Films and M-ZET Films libraries. In July 2005, ABS-CBN Video was folded into its parent company's other label, Star Home Video.
1st Logo (1998-2000)
Visuals: On a white background, we have the multicolor circles on there. Then the background turns black over the rooster, who has an ABS-CBN logo on there. It then has the word "VIDEO", then it has a byline "A Division of ABS-CBN Corporation" below, and finally the logo fades out.
