1st logo (1989-1993)
Logo: We see live-action footage of various videotape machineries and cameras moving while projecting. The light flashes, and then we see a live-action footage of a girl sitting behind a space background, turning it around. The camera zooms out and brightens, and the light flashes from behind the girl, and turn it into a cloud background. We see the black word "AMERICAN" zooms out and we see a design similar to the Top Gun logo, minus the text, flipping in. The script word "Video" in yellow flips in from the center and settle bellow the "AMERICAN" word. Once it continues, we see a footage of a planet that sat from behind the girl.

Trivia: TBA
