Background
A-Vision Entertainment was a home video company owned by Warner Music Group as a sub-label of Warner Music Vision, using the likeness of its Atlantic Records label. It released videos from Atlantic artists, but also functioned as a special interest/general video distributor as well. In 1993, the company operated several sublabels including NightVision, KidVision, BodyVision and Atlantic Group Films (later WarnerVision Films following the move). In March 1995, A-Vision was moved to Warner Bros. Records, and was reorganized into WarnerVision Entertainment.
1st Logo (1990-1993)
Logo: Against a background of rapidly shifting colors and images relating to concerts and live performances, we see a box with the Atlantic Records logo with a portion extended to show the word "VISION" standing next to the Atlantic fan logo, and below it is another box with the word "ENTERTAINMENT" spaced-out to fit the length of the A-Vision logo.
Technique: Live-action.
Music/Sounds: None, or the ending of the program.
Availability: Seen on most if not all of Atlantic's live performance recordings, especially Banned in the U.S.A., Phil Collins: Seriously Live in Berlin, Phil Collins: No Ticket Required and Elton John: The World Tour 1992. It was also seen on early Penthouse releases.
2nd Logo (1993-1995)
Logo: On a black background, a dot flies by, and we see a box rising up and expanding into a bigger box with a border between "A VISION" and "E N T E R T A I N M E N T" in white. Between "A " and "VISION" is a white fan spinning. A white dot then applies to the fan, forming the Atlantic fan logo.
Variant: At the end of Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers VHS tapes released by the company, a black screen reading "Distributed by" appears before the actual logo.
Technique: 3D animation.
Music/Sounds: A strange synth theme, then a "thunk" sound when the dot gets to the fan.
Availability: Seen on later A-Vision tapes, like later Penthouse releases as well as Tibor Rudas: The 3 Tenors in Concert.
