1st Logo

(1994-2000)

Nickname: "The Imperial Home Video Logo of Doom"

Logo: The logo starts when the gray background opens. Then the word IMPERIAL zooms in and the words HOME VIDEO flip in and the lines zooms in then makes a lightning sound. Then the words flip out.

FX/SFX: Everything.

Music: The same as RKO Pictures (but not the one with the tower).

Availability: Can be seen on some Children's Videos. such as, Kidsongs, and Sesame Street. Also seen on some Arthur titles.

Variations: On some VHS releases, the logo is rare. The reason is because the logo starts on a space background and then a star zooms in and then the words "IMPERIAL HOME VIDEO" zoom in on the bottom. The music is the same as the Academy Entertainment logo. The logo can be seen on some movies that was made by them. The movies are "The Ballad of John Annon" (has the rare logo), "John Annon Sees Again" (Also has the rare logo). The first logo above can be seen on "Stacy Is Married", "Saving Jones", and "Private Words". The rare logo can be seen on some public domain movies and some comedy movies.

Scare Factor: Depends on which variant.


 * Original Version: High to nightmare, because the size of the logo can scare anyone.
 * Rare Variant: Low to medium, this is much tame than before.Final Note: However, the original version lasted in 1997, but the rare variant was kept until 2000.

2nd Logo

(1997-)

Nickname: "The I Logo"

Logo: We zoom out with a blue "I" on a pink-purple gradient background and the Imperial Home Video text flies diagnolly in orange and after that, Droopy flies down with a parachute and he smiles, standing on the text.

Music: A cute 9-note fanfare.

Availability: Can be seen on some Yogi Bear videos.

Variant: On the movie "Can't Catch Me!", the music on this logo has the extended version of the Rodashow Entertainment jingle. Also, the logo is slowed down.

Scare factor: None, it's a cute logo and better than the first one.
