1st Logo (1981?-1989)
Visuals: On a black background, an object flies from the left and swoops to the right, zooming in to reveal a large red 5-pointed star. On it, the text "BEST FILM & VIDEO, CORP." is seen in white with a black drop shadow. It remains still for several seconds before it swoops back out, albeit to the right.
Technique: Basic zooming effects.
Audio: None.
Availability: Can be found on releases of videos such as Benji: Double Feature.
2nd Logo (1989-1993)
Visuals: On a black background, it zooms out to reveal a black star with a gold trailing outline, forming streaks of yellow, orange, and {{color}purple}} surrounding it. From the center, the funky-looking text BEST FILM VIDEO, stacked and colored in a shiny blue and white mix, zooms in. The text shines.
Technique: Scanimate.
Audio: A dreamy-like piano piece.
Availability: Can be found on early releases of Marvel Comics-based cartoon videos. This was also spotted on Video Wars.
3rd Logo (1990?-1993)
Visuals: On a black background, a fuzzy-looking red star is seen in the center of the screen. The text "BEST FILM & VIDEO CORPORATION" slides down from the top and rests in front of the star with a drop shadow. After a few seconds, it slides down off-screen as it fades out.
Variant: Sometimes it has the text reading "A BEST FILM & VIDEO CORPORATION PRESENTATION", and the animation is slightly different.
Technique: Basic computer animation effects.
Audio: None.
Availability: Can be seen on the Beetle Bailey VHS "Sarge's Last Stand", and some Weapons of War tapes.
