Clearvue
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.
