Logo (1989-1998)
Visuals: On a black background, five hot magenta stripes, which get progressively thinner the farther left they are, come in from the left, a white "HGV" comes in from the right, and "Video Productions Inc.", in the same color as the stripes, comes in from the bottom, all moving at the same time. As soon as they meet in the center, the word "presents" in white, fades in below.
Variant: At the end of tapes, "presents" is omitted.
Technique: Analog computer animation.
Audio: Same as the 1987-1990 music of the 1st GoodTimes Home Video logo. On some releases, it's silent.
