Background

Channel 4 DVD (formerly Channel 4 Video) was a home video arm of Channel 4 that released the channel's programmes on home media, and also select third-party programmes as well. For the first few years of it's operation, it's releases were distributed by VCI.

Channel 4 Video

1st Logo (1995-2000)

Logo: It's the same as the television logo, only "VIDEO" flashes in below once the animation is finished.

FX/SFX: Same as the TV logo.

Music/Sounds: Same as the 1992 TV logo.

Availability: Seen on Channel 4 Video releases from the era, distributed by VCI.

Legacy: Even though Channel 4's ident changed in 1996, this logo continued to be used afterwards until 2000.

2nd Logo (2000-2005)

Logo: Just the 1999-2004 Channel 4 "Square" logo on a black background.

Variant:

  • Later releases from 2003-2004 have the word "video" in a white box below the Channel 4 Square plus the logo fades in and out.
  • On Bo Selecta! DVDs, the logo transitions to the DVD menu, which depends on the DVD release.
  • An animated variant exists where the logo slowly zooms out.

FX/SFX: None.

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: Seen on Channel 4 VHS and DVD releases from the era, distributed by VCI. The animated variant was so far only seen on Escape from Colditz.
