'''Logo:''' On a blurry {{color|deepskyblue|sky blue}} background with {{color|lightblue|light blue}} clouds, a huge cloud of 12 rainbow-colored balloons floated around in mid-air. Then, a huge close-up of a {{color|red}} balloon that reads "{{color|gold|Saban}}" in a {{color|gold}} Kentucky font at the top of the balloon along with three {{color|gold|golden}} lines (resembling the 1988 "Gold Plate" logo) and a long string at the bottom that reads "Video" in {{color|red}}. Next, the {{color|red}} balloon zooms faster out and is placed inside a rounded rectangle (similar to the one in the [[Hi-Tops Video]] logo).

In December 1995, Time Warner announced plans to spin-off WarnerVision and revert it back to A-Vision Entertainment. However, they soon cancelled this, and the company was folded into [[Warner Home Video]]. With this, Saban ended their contract with Warner and signed a new home video deal with [[20th Century Fox Home Entertainment]] in October 1996, with the Saban Home Entertainment label being retired.
'''Variant:''' A later variant has the background colored a slightly lighter shade and the clouds redesigned to look more realistic. The rectangle surrounding the logo now has a shadow, and the {{color|gold}} parts of the logo shine.

At the same time, the white marble square from the aforementioned logo zooms out. The circle then begins to fit in the square's circle space.
