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.

-'''Visuals:''' On a black background, there are three {{color|gold}} interlocked ITC diamonds but with no letters in them, spinning around. They now appear to be made with a single "ribbon" of metal facing at an upwards angle, appearing that they overlap each other. As they spin around, the letters "{{color|gold|{{Font|Times New Roman|{{Big|'''ITC'''}}}}}}" slide out from the right of it one-by-one, and then shine as the diamonds stop spinning. "Home Video" then wipes in under "ITC" at the end.

-'''Audio:''' A dramatic bass sounder, followed by a three-note synth tune that corresponds to the sliding out of the letters, a shimmering sound accompanying the letters shining, and two clang sounds marking the appearance of "Home Video". The music on this logo was done by John O'Kennedy.
