Bloom in 1981. FHE also launched a non-kids sub-sectionalization known equally U.South.A. Domicile Video a twelvemonth later on. Early on releases were distributed past MGM/UA Habitation Video and in the tardily Eighties, FHE's releases were distributed by MCA (most notably in Canada). It somewhen became a sub-sectionalization of Lionsgate Home Entertainment later Lions Gate Entertainment caused and folded Artisan Amusement in 2003 and FHE was folded in 2005.

1st Logo
(June 1981-1985, 1987)

The about-finished logo, with the colors of the text intact

The finished production

Nicknames: "Soda Pop", "Cheesy FHE", "FHE in Space", "Cheesy Star"

Logo: The screen fades to a space background, a large pink/purple "sun" slowly moves towards the states. After a few seconds of sizzling, it then transforms into the majestic words " Family HOME ", set in "Infant Teeth" (whose digital incarnation goes by "Surfside"). Then " Amusement " in the aforementioned font flies from behind the text on top of the screen and settles underneath the "FAMILY HOME" text. The texts and then flash and become white. After a few seconds the logo flies upwards with calculator effects and nosotros are left with just a shot of the stars before we fade out.

Variants:

• At the end of some tapes such as Beauty and the Fauna (1983) and pre-1985 videos from Monterey and U.Southward.A. Home Video, a "Prevues of Coming Attractions" bumper plays but it fades to the curt version of the logo.
• Sometimes, there are screen cuts at the beginning and cease of the logo.
• Shortened versions exist. Some tapes starting time the logo just as the "lord's day" appears, while others start the logo right as it morphs into the words " Family Home ".

FX/SFX: The transformation of the sunday into "Family HOME ENTERTAINMENT" and the "flying" furnishings for the logos.

Cheesy Factor: This 1 goes off the charts. The "sun" looks ridiculously false (resembling a fizzing Alka-Seltzer tablet more than annihilation else), the colors are rather gaudy, the music is super annoying, the font is actually ugly and the space background looks like information technology was done on an Apple 2.

Music/Sounds: The space background has electronic popping/buzz noises. When the logo forms, a 4-note synthesized chord/whoosh fanfare can exist heard, which came from a stock music library.

Availability: Rare. Check on eBay or Amazon. It first appeared on The World of Strawberry Shortcake. Other releases that may include this logo are Blackstar, The New Adventures of Zorro, Journey Back to Oz, Dorothy in the Country of Oz, Panda and the Magic Serpent, Gaiking, a few Spaceketeers releases, some Inspector Gadget tapes, and early releases of Gumby (retained on a 1987 reprint/reissue of A Gumby Summer) and Intendance Bears; just detect an over-sized box containing an early FHE print of this logo on the cover. This also fabricated a surprise appearance on the 1986 reprint/reissue of Peter Cottontail's Adventures.

Scare Cistron: Medium. The bad animation and eerie music/noises may get to some people, just the logo is probably ane of the most soda-similar in the world! You'll also probably derive unintentional comedy from how badly made this is, or nostalgia for the company'southward really early releases.

second Logo
(1985-1991)

Nicknames: "F.H.E.", "Handwriting Pad", "Cheesy Writing", "Some other Cheesy F.H.E"

Logo: A yellowish-orangish screen "flips" in, and it has ane of those lines you used to exercise writing messages at school. (Two solid lines with a segmented line in the middle) Ane at a fourth dimension, the letters are drawn on the lines in a crayon-like font. They are colored, in society, a ruddy "f", a blueish "h", and a yellow "e", respectively. Blackness dots announced in-between the letters, irresolute to "f.h.eastward.". Nether that the words " Family Home Entertainment " typed in, and then the picture zooms away down.

Variants:

• On several Robotech releases from 1987, likewise every bit The Teddy Bears' Picnic and Babar: The Film from 1989, the colors are a bit faded. After the logo is formed, it fades to black.
• Later video releases take the logo on a blackness groundwork with the lines fading-in and the FHE text cartoon itself on faster than usual and a bit unlike. A byline for IVE/NCB is shown on the bottom. A yet version can be seen on various Transformers promos.
• A still variant appears on the 1987 VHS of To Exist a Clown, where the background is blackness and the logo is shifted further down.
• At the end of some tapes, a yellow screen that reads "also AVAILABLE from" (in white) zooms in. Subsequently 3 seconds, the screen zooms downward surging to the regular FHE logo.
• Some tapes have the logo'due south commencement omitted, instead starting at the point where the messages are drawn in. There is no "WHOOSH" at the cease in this variation.

FX/SFX: The "flipping" screen, the drawn messages.

Cheesy Factor: The screen "flipping" is an Eighties SFX standard; it is merely the paradigm being stretched and squashed. Before 1990, there was often a jarring cutting from the FBI alert to this logo. After the 1988 IVE warning replaced the other 1, at that place was a gentle fade from the warning to this logo. However, this is an improvement of the previous logo.

Music/Sounds: Starts with a loud whirring/whining sound (kind of similar a Jetsons flying car starting), and leads into a synth theme with three different tones for the drawing of each letter. Three very fast synth-trumpet notes bring forth the periods after each initial, and a toy piano that plays a descending tune is used when the company'southward name appears. At the end, a laser zap is heard as the screen "flies" away.

Music/Sounds Variant: A low toned variant exists.

Availability: Uncommon. Tin be seen on early on releases of dwelling house video releases of shows such as Transformers, G.I. Joe, Inspector Gadget, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Also spotted on some Rankin-Bass video releases of the time. Likewise spotted on the Chuck Jones releases of Rikki-Tikki-Tavi, Mowgli'south Brothers, and The White Seal. You may likewise spot this on some tapes of British cartoons like Wil Cwac Cwac and Roobarb, and the Australian Dot cartoons should have this logo, also. Also seen on later Gumby and Intendance Bears VHS releases.

Scare Factor:

• Medium to high. The loud music and "flipping" screen may get to some people, forth with the FBI alert screen.
• Depression to medium for the 1990-1991 version. The Warning screen has been changed, but the music and the "flipping" screen still may get to some people.
• Low for the black background variant with IVE/NCB byline.

tertiary Logo
(1991-1998, 2006-2007)

Nickname: "The Paintbrush"

Logo: On a white background, a ruby-red paintbrush draws the "f" then puts a ruby-red dot later it. A bluish paintbrush similarly draws the "h" and a bluish dot and a yellowish paintbrush gets the "east" and its dot. The photographic camera pans to each letter of the alphabet as information technology is fatigued and then pulls out. Above the logo the paintbrushes "wash" on the words "Family Dwelling Entertainment", with each discussion in red, blue, and xanthous respectively.

Variants:

• On rare occasions, the logo is still.
• An abridged version was used on a promo.

FX/SFX: Very amazing CGI, fifty-fifty for today!

Music/Sounds: A 4-note synth tune (which was done on the Roland D-50 synthesizer by using the "Staccato Heaven" patch) can be heard at the beginning, followed by a 2-notation synth horn tune, so silence, followed past another ii-notation synth horn tune when the "f" is existence drawn and a synthesized stinger when the ruby dot appears, followed by a descending harp audio and a v-note horn-like tune when the "h" is being fatigued and another synthesized stinger when the blue dot appears, followed by an ascending and so descending clarinet melody when the "e" followed by withal another synthesized stinger when the yellow dot appears, then a hybrid of an ascending synthesized melody with some clarinet notes mark the advent of "Family unit Domicile Entertainment". It all ends with the synth melody from the beginning of the logo, complete with a choir, with synth chimes at the end.

Music/Sounds Variant: On the screener cassettes of Queens Logic and Bloodmoon, an announcer says, "Here'south what's new from Family unit Home Entertainment!" at the terminate.

Availability: Common. Tin be seen on most FHE releases from the 90s, including afterward Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles tapes (surprisingly, it appeared on 2006 and 2007 DVDs of TMNT, specifically at the finish of the episodes, "Plan six from Outer Infinite", "Good day Lotus Flower", "Michelangelo Meets Bugman", and "What's Michelangelo Skillful For?"), the original release of Tom and Jerry: The Picture and many Rankin-Bass specials distributed by FHE until 1997. The last new releases to have this were their 1998 Christmas videos, and its final advent overall was on the 1999 Sony Wonder VHS of Here Comes Peter Cottontail, which may exist the reprint.

Scare Cistron: None. This is much amend than the previous logos.

(1998-2001)

F A G I 50 Y H O M E
E North T Eastward R T A I N M E N T

which are written in white, fade in below. At the aforementioned fourth dimension, 2 white dots fade in between the letters "FHE". The words shine.

Availability: Uncommon. Appears on about FHE releases up until 2001, such as Clifford The Big Red Canis familiaris: "Here Comes Clifford".

Scare Factor: Depression. The flipping animation and lack of music might unsettle some.

5th Logo
(2000-2005)

Nickname: "Flying Letters"

Logo: On a white background, we encounter the letters " F H Eastward " flying up to the screen. Then two black dots fly in and announced between the messages. "FAMILY Dwelling ENTERTAINMENT" fades in nether the letters. A roof is then drawn above the "H", making the whole affair await a lot like the quaternary logo. The logo fades out.

Variants:

• A short version of this logo was seen on promos such as on Beast Planet Video, TLC Video, and later "FHE" flies up, and a link to "www.familyhomeent.com" beneath. Seen on the 2000 VHS print of Infant Einstein (which is distributed by Family Home Entertainment for Kids).
