Background

ITC Home Video was a short-lived home media division of the ITC Entertainment Group. In America, the company's releases were distributed by J2 Communications and, later, Live Entertainment.

Logo (1988-1996)

Visuals: Same as the 1987 ITC logo, except that "Home Video" wipes in below a la the ITC Entertainment Group/opening logo variant.

Technique: Cel animation by Craig Clark.

Audio: An alternate take of the John O'Kennedy music at a higher pitch, with louder sparkling sounds, a notable cut at the final synth note, earlier cymbals, and earlier clanging.

Availability: This logo is seen on VHS releases by the company from the time-period until 1996.

Examples include The Last Unicorn, Return of the Pink Panther (1975), Whispers (1990 version from Live Home Video), and On Golden Pond (1981), among others.
It can also be found on the 1989 J2 Communications/ITC Home Video Laserdisc release of On Golden Pond (1981).
It was also seen at the end of an unknown episode of Gideon's Way.
It is also seen on UK VHS releases such as the 1994 UK VHS release of Halfway Across the Galaxy and Turn Left - 2, among others.
