First Time Video

Logo (1988-1989, 1999, 2008-2009)

Visuals: On a blue background, the The Berenstain Bears logo is seen, which is just "The Berenstain Bears" in a cursive font. After a second, the logo shifts up to make room for the First Time Video logo as it flies in below. The logo has Brother Bear's head shown at the side within a tube shape, along with "FIRST TIME VIDEO" below in a sketchy font, all of it on a cartoony plank of wood. It resembles the "First Time Books" logo on older copies of The Berenstain Bears books.

Technique: 80s computer effects.

Audio: The last notes of the show's theme song "We Are the Berenstain Bears" in instrumental form, composed by Elliot Lawrence.

Availability: Seen on tapes of The Berenstain Bears (1985) from Random House Home Video. It also appeared on Columbia TriStar Home Video prints as well. This logo makes a surprise appearance on the 2008/2009 Sony Pictures Home Entertainment release of The Berenstain Bears: Kindness, Caring and Sharing.
