Fuji TV Video & DVD

1st logo (1987-1996)
Logo: A small robot with roller skates pops out of a hole and begins to run. As the camera slowly zooms out, a larger and larger crowd of people also run with the robot, with the backgrounds changing to anything and everything. After the music stops, everyone looks at the camera and a white screen zooms in on all the characters, getting stuck on one lady's head. Her head then turns into the pink pupil of the Fuji eye as the rest of the logo instantaneously grows out of it.

FX/SFX: A shout at the beginning of the logo, and the nice animation of the logo.

Music/Sounds: A fun energetic musical piece that fits the tone of the tone of the logo.

Availability: Probably quite common at the time among Fuji TV's releases. Comments in Japanese on videos containing this logo tend to reference Thomas The Tank Engine.

Editor's Note: A fun logo all around.

2nd logo (1989-1996, 2004)
Logo: On a zooming starfield background, the Fuji eye zooms out of the camera and rests in the middle of the screen, with a small flash on the outline of the eye. The text "フジテレビ" then zooms up below the eye, leaving a ghosting trail behind it. After a few seconds of the eye and the text, the logo fades out.

Variants:
 * There exists a version without sound. On the variant without sound, the logo just abruptly ends.

FX/SFX: Nice, smooth animation.

Music/Sounds: A sort of space-age choir.

Availability: Currently unknown.

Editor's Note: None.

3rd logo (1996-2004)
Logo: On a black background, two Fuji eyes open. They then blink and get close to the screen, proceeding to look around. They then move back some and one turns into glitter and forms the "フジテレビ" text as the other one spins around a little. The text is then formed and the other eye spinning stops.

FX/SFX: CGI eye logos moving around and exploding.

Music/Sounds: A very quirky little piece that matches the action on-screen.

Availability: Currently unknown.

Editor's Note: Many Japanese comments on videos with this logo tend to mention that it ranks high on the "trauma level". It is quite startling, and the lack of any background could be thought of as ominous in some manner, much like a logo such as THX.

1st Logo (2000-)
Logo: First we see glowing dots and lines come out of nowhere which then turn into the Fuji/Pony Canyon "eye" (glowing in blue with yellow eyelashes) which emits sparks. Then multiple dark gray circles enclose the eye and a white glow shines around the circles, during which the yellow eyelashes disappear. The blue-outlined circle (the "eye") goes away with multiple blue-outlined circles that flip around and some orange-glowing lines flicker around. A small blue flash glows around the circle and the orange-glowing lines form the pupil of the eye, then the yellow eyelashes appear again and the orange/yellow pupil flashes. The blue-outlined circles, yellow eyelashes and dark gray enclosing circles then disappear while the pupil stays until it becomes a vertical orange-glowing line that stretches out and some Japanese letters squish in. Finally, a circle appears with the following text: DVD

Fuji Television spins in and out.

Variant: On the DVD of The Uchoten Hotel, this logo is filmed and zoomed in by quite a bit.

FX/SFX: Pretty much everything: the glowing letters and "eye", the sparks, the shining, spinning, etc.

Music/Sounds: First, a reversed cymbal crash, then some swooshes and ascending whirring/humming sounds, a reversed fast-paced drum tune, a crash, and finally a humming sound when the Japanese words transform to "DVD Fuji Television".

Availability: Seen on DVDs of Fuji movies like Bayside Shakedown 2 and Lorelei: The Witch of The Pacific Ocean.

Editor's Note: None.

2nd logo (2003-2013)
Logo: The text "FUJI TELEVISION" "VIDEO AND DVD" appears on the screen with lines (ala Walt Disney's "Coming Soon to..." logos from the 2000s, but smaller), with a silver CGI bee character appearing from the side of the screen suddenly. He then flies and carries the Fuji eye around some, coming to a stop in the middle of the screen with the eye facing the camera, holding it. The text "FUJI TELEVISION VIDEO & DVD" then appears via glittering effect, and the logo then fades out.

FX/SFX: Glittering sound effects. Pretty good CG for 2003.

Music/Sounds: A small musical piece to go with the on-screen action.

Availability: Currently unknown.

Editor's Note: A very fun logo.

1st Logo (2010-Current)
Logo: An updated, CG-ified version of the first Fuji TV DVD logo, but with a teal blue gradient background. Ends with the text Blu-ray Disc FUJI TELEVISION "typed" onto the screen in a similar manner to the way "フジテレビ" is typed, except horizontally.

FX/SFX: All the same sound effects as the first DVD logo, but with a bit more reverb added. Good smooth CG.

Music/Sounds: Same as the first DVD logo, but with a bit more reverb.

Availability: Current. Was seen on the 2021 Blu-ray of "The Promised Neverland" film.

Editor's Note: A good update to an old logo.

1st Logo (2013-Current)
Logo: At first, some dots of color fade in and out. Then, a different angle of the Fuji eye fades in and out as it slowly moves. Another angle, this one much closer fades in and out while moving as well. The camera then moves to in front of the logo, and it slowly becomes its 2D counterpart as the colors fade out.

FX/SFX: Very nice animation with a very detailed Fuji eye.

Music/Sounds: The first two shots start ominous sounding, but then a piano starts playing a few notes and the logo ends on a peaceful chord by the piano and a synthesizer with a little glissando on the piano.

Availability: Current.

Editor's Note: A logo that starts as if it's off-putting but slowly becomes much more welcoming with the sound of the piano.
