Background

Clearvue was a Chicago-based educational company formed sometime in 1954 at the earliest to produce and distribute educational media. Clearvue renamed "Clearvue/eav" and merged with the Society for Visual Education in 2004 to form "Clearvue & SVE" before being folded into Discovery Education in 2007.

Clearvue

1st Logo (Opening Logo) (1990?-1992?)

Logo: On a black background, we see the word "Clearvue" in the Brandish font zooming in and spinning around. It starts out in rainbow colors but then turns a yellow color as it stops spinning. The slogan "Educational Enrichment For All Grade Levels" fades in below in blue.

Technique: The spinning and the color changing.

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: Rare. Seen on the Fun to Learn video series. This does not appear on the Sterling releases.

2nd Logo (Closing Logo) (1990-1991)

Logo: On a blue background, we see the words "A Clearvue Production" in yellow, wiping in from the center.

Variants:

On the episodes "Learning About Responsibility and Sharing" (shown on the Laugh and Learn: Time VHS) and "Survival Safety Signs" (shown on the Laugh and Learn: Shapes VHS), the text is in three lines instead of two. The text also scrolls upward along with the credits rather than wiping.
On the episodes, "One, Two and Three", "Four, Five and Six", "Seven, Eight and Nine" and "Ten" (all shown on the Laugh and Learn: 123s VHS), the text is displayed in a fat font displayed on a green sign which Professor Centi (the main character on the aforementioned episodes) holds up. It is revealed via a rain-like wipe effect.
On the episodes "Falling Star and the Clever Clowns", "Shapelessville Shapes Up" and "The Circular Circus On Parade" (all shown on the Laugh and Learn: Shapes VHS), the text is in a different font, is in all caps and takes place against a blue square with a white outline, all presented against a maroon/peach psychedelic background. The text also scrolls up along with the credits and zooms out at the end.

Technique: The text wiping in.

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: Rare. Seen at the end of the Fun to Learn video series.

Clearvue/eav

1st Logo (1991?-1996?)

Logo: On a black background, an orange square, with multiple smaller ones in a concentric style, is seen at the top of the screen. Below it is the text "Presented by" in a sky blue color, and below that is the large white text "CLEARVUE/eav". An address and phone number can be seen in orange at the bottom of the screen.

Technique: None.

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: Extremely rare.

2nd Logo (1996?-2000?)

Logo: TBA.

Technique: TBA.

Music/Sounds: None, or the video's opening/closing theme.

Availability: Ultra rare. This was known to be seen on The Perfect Paragraph.

3rd Logo (2000?-2004)

TBA.

Clearvue & SVE

(2004-2007)

Logo: Same as the SVE & Churchill Media logo, except just before the SVE logo appears, the entire logo freeze-frames and the Clearvue & SVE logo appears in its place.

Technique: Same as the SVE & Churchill Media logo.

Music/Sounds: Same as the SVE & Churchill Media logo.

Availability: Extremely rare. Seen on a print of the Horrible Histories (2001) episode "Groovy Greeks".
