'''Visuals:'''
*'''Opening:''' Over a black background, many coloured parallelograms come from the top and bottom of the screen towards the middle, where a white four-pointed star is being drawn, with the smaller one starting with the top spire, while the large one starts with the left. The coloured shapes stop coming from the bottom as an {{color|orange}} line with a "'''V'''" shaped bend in the middle arrives, accompanied by a "shadow" effect. It stops below the star, and the parallelograms return from the bottom as the letters "'''BBC'''" and "'''IDEO'''" are drawn in white at either side of the "'''V'''", with the outsides first, then the insides on the left, then the reversed happening on the right. The line with the "'''V'''" is also traced over with white. After the logo forms, all the parallelograms eventually stop as a light shines inside the star and leaves a blue after-shadow.
*'''Closing:''' The rainbow parallelograms are flying towards "'''BBC VIDEO'''", which disappears as if it was being played backwards; that is, it's sort of being "drawn away". The parallelograms stop and the 4-pointed star remains. As a copyright notice appears (in the Futura typeface) reading "© BRITISH BROADCASTING CORPORATION and BBC ENTERPRISES LTD. (year in Roman numerals)", the star "shines" and is drawn away too, leaving a small light which flashes a few times and then fades.
*On later VHS releases, the closing logo has a shadow effect added when the star is being drawn away. This was originally used during 1983 and early 1984 before becoming permanent in 1985.
*On some VHS releases, the closing logo is shortened, starting from when the copyright disclaimer fades in. The logo is also silent in this case.
* On ''Rock Flashback: Deep Purple - California Jam 1974'', the text "ROCK FLASHBACK" in an {{color|orange}} Revue font with a {{color|gold|yellow}} outline fades in after the logo finishes animating. The closing variant also adds an extra copyright notice reading "Original recording © Deep Purple MCMLXXIV" below the normal copyright in a Helvetica font.
* On ''John Martyn - In Vision 1973-1981'' and other Rock Flashback releases, the "ROCK FLASHBACK" appears in black, with a white outline.
* On ''Little Nezha Fights Great Dragon Kings'', the words "'''This is a wide screen film'''" fade in shortly before the star stops shining.
*On the 1987 UK VHS release of ''Watch With Mother'', the logo turns {{color|grey}}-scale when the "V" comes in; the closing starts in grey-scale but turns into colour before the text is drawn away. Another version of this exists where it fades to the B&W effect as well on some other releases.
*On a <u>promo variant</u>, the logo seems to fly backwards as it finishes.
*On a trailer/promo VHS, the regular logo is seen for a few seconds until it cuts to a black background with a {{color|deepskyblue|blue}} book sideways with the print logo of the time. At the bottom (or in the end of the tape, the top), "{{color|gold|NEW VIDEO TASTIES}}" is seen in {{color|gold|yellow}}. The closing logo starts when the text is drawn away, and the copyright date uses a 1982 version at its base, with an extra "I" added to the end of the copyright date to read instead as "MCMLXXXIII", and it fades out.
*On <u>most U.S. VHS releases</u> distributed by CBS/Fox Video or [[Playhouse Video]],{{AvailabilityExamples}} the copyright disclaimer in the closing version is blacked out due to legal reasons.
'''Visuals:'''
*'''Opening:''' Fading from the warning screen, a map of the world fades in, {{color|gold|metallic gold}} (land) on {{color|blue}} (sea), which waves up and down. The map then folds into a rotating globe (which is a modified version of the [[BBC One|BBC1]] "Computer Originated World" ident from 1985-1991). The reverse of the globe can be seen through the "sea" of the globe. From the front and bottom of the screen, "{{color|gray|{{font|Times New Roman|BBC VIDEO}}}}" in a {{color|gray|copper}} Photina-like font flies in. When it stops below the globe, two of the letters sparkle before the programme starts.
*'''Closing:''' The sequence reverses, with the "{{color|gray|{{font|Times New Roman|BBC VIDEO}}}}" text flying out and the globe unfolding back into a map. The same copyright text from the previous logo appears, now in the ITC Avant Garde Gothic font.
'''Visuals:'''
*'''Opening:''' On a black background, a {{color|blue}} streak comes in from the right of the screen and a {{color|#00AF00|green}} streak comes in from the left of the screen. The two streaks then intersect to form a {{color|red}} line in the middle of the screen and they leave behind {{color|#00AF00|green}} and {{color|blue}} lines afterwards. The BBC boxes fade in rather dimly before fully brightening up as they form a CGI version of the 1988 BBC logo used at the time. The letters also appear to have shadows underneath them and the lines have glows on the bottom of the blocks.
*'''Closing:''' Same as the opening, except with the BBC Enterprises copyright disclaimer appearing on the bottom. Starting in 1995, "BBC ENTERPRISES" is replaced with "BBC WORLDWIDE".
'''Audio Variants:'''
*Sometimes, the 1989 fanfare is extended.
*A low tone version of the 1989 fanfare exists. On this version, the music comes in when the {{color|#00AF00|green}} and {{color|blue}} streaks merge.
*On the "Five Doctors" variant, a spinning whirl sound is heard when the Time Scoop steals the 1988 BBC logo.
*At the start and end of the 1997 UK VHS release of ''Diana: A Celebration'' (one of the last VHS releases to use this logo), the logo is completely silent, which is likely to pay respect to Princess Diana, who died a few weeks prior. This also occurs with the 1993 UK VHS release of ''Poldark Series 1 Volume 1''.
**However, the next logo appears instead at the beginning of the latter.
*This logo is also seen on the 1992 UK VHS release of ''Spider!: I'm Only Scary 'cos I'm Hairy!'', the 1993 UK VHS releases of ''Mr. Blobby'', and ''The Very Best of the Clangers'', the 1994 UK VHS releases of ''The Little Polar Bear: The Ice Floe'', ''Blinky Bill: The Movie'', ''The Very Best of Fireman Sam 2'', and ''BBC Children's Christmas Cracker'', the 1995 UK VHS releases of ''Felix the Cat: The Leprechaun King'', ''The New Adventures of Skippy'', and ''William's Wish Wellingtons: William and Barksure'', the 1996 UK VHS release of ''BBC Children's Sensational Summer Fun'', and the 1997 UK VHS releases of ''Dino Babies: When Dinos Soar'', ''Teletubbies: Here Come The Teletubbies'', ''Teletubbies: Dance with The Teletubbies'', ''Toybox 1'', and ''Toybox 2'', respectively, among many others.
*This logo is also seen on the 1996 U.S. VHS release of ''Jane Austen's Persuasion''.
*So far, the only known appearance of this logo on DVD during its lifespan was at the end of a UK promotional DVD release for ''Wallace and Gromit: A Close Shave'', released by Panasonic in June 1997, most likely reusing the original 1995 video master.
*In the logo's final month, it was used in tandem with the 5th one.

'''Visuals:''' Against a white marble background, three black boxes swing in from the right. As they turn sideways, the letters "BBC" enter each one. Once the 1988 BBC logo is formed, three coloured streaks (one {{color|blue}}, one {{color|red}}, and one {{color|#00AF00|green}}) pass under it and leave similarly coloured lines under the boxes. Finally, the word "'''''VIDEO'''''" in {{color|grey}} appears under the completed logo.
'''Technique:''' CGI.
'''Visuals:'''
*'''Opening:''' On a {{color|navy|navy blue}} background, there are several ribbons moving from top right and top middle of the screen and the bottom middle of the screen highlighted in {{color|red}}, {{color|blue}}, and {{color|#00AF00|green}}. The 1997 BBC logo (in white) fades in.
*'''Closing:''' Same as above, except when the BBC logo fades in, the BBC Worldwide copyright disclaimer and copyright date fade in. This was used on VHS and DVD releases until 2005 (although it remained on some children's releases until 2006).
** At the end of the UK VHS release, a line-up of BBC Comedy videos of the time is shown on the animated ribbons background. After a while, the line-up fades over to the closing version of the BBC Video ident.
* Starting in 2001 on widescreen releases, the BBC copyright stamp doesn't have "BBC" in its print logo anymore.
* A slightly altered variant exists, where the ribbons are further away; this can be seen on {{color|blue}} and black backgrounds.
* On the Polish VHS release of ''<u>The Incredible Adventures of Wallace & Gromit</u>'', the logo is shortened so that only the remaining animation (with the 1997 BBC logo) is shown. At the end of the VHS release, the logo is still.
* On a promo for ''Walking with Dinosaurs'', which appears on the U.S. VHS release of ''Lake Placid'', a <u>rare variant</u> appears with "VIDEO" written below the logo.
* The opening variant was again also seen at the end of all four episodes of a February 21, 1999 airing of the ''Doctor Who'' story "The Curse of Fenric" on KTEH.
* The opening variant was also seen at the end of a 9Gem airing of S01E02 of ''Absolutely Fabulous''.
* Despite BBC Video merging with Video Collection International in September 2004 to form 2 Entertain, Thethe BBC Video logo continued to be used and its logo succededsucceeded the 2 Entertain logo on BBC DVD releases between 2005 and 2009.
