Background

This could have been a label formed by Chester Novell Turner, Sr. to aid in the VHS distribution of Tales from the Quadead Zone, similar to Erry Vision Films. This is strongly supported by the difficulties he had when a VHS company distributed his earlier movie Black Devil Doll from Hell (specifically, the label only paid him $6 for each copy sold and edited the movie without his permission).

Logo (1987)

Visuals: On a violet background, there is the text "A BC VIDEO PRESENTATION", with "PRESENTATION" in an arc, a slightly inclined "A", and a small four leaf clover-like blurb drawn below it. Superimposed inside the text is the intro to Denver the Last Dinosaur (a small part of the footage appears not covered in the left).

Technique: Traditional animation from the show.

Trivia: "BC" stands for Buster (A childhood nickname of Chester Novell Turner Jr) and Coot (a nickname of Shirley Latonya Jones)

Audio: First there are four drum beats that begin on a black screen before the logo appears, then a funky beatbox riff, then a synthesized hip hop/rap tune is used.

Availability: It can only be seen at the end of original VHS prints of Tales from the Quadead Zone. This logo may or may not appear at the end of Massacre Video's DVD of the film.

-'''Legacy:''' This logo is disliked by many for its strange placement of text to the use of the ''Denver the Last Dinosaur'' footage (which, oddly enough, was released first in 1988, making its appearance on here a mystery, though it might be another clip from another show), although some appreciated the catchy music.
