Background

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 its operation, its releases were distributed by VCI.

1st Logo (1995-2000)

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

Technique: Same as the 1982 TV logo.

Audio: The same 1992 fanfare from the 1982 TV logo.

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

  • Even though Channel 4's ident changed on October 11, 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.

Technique: None.

Audio: None.

Availability: Seen on Channel 4 VHS and DVD releases from the era, distributed by VCI.
