+'''Visuals:''' Same as the 1987 ITC logo, but {{font|Arial|{{color|gold|'''Presents'''}}}} wipes in below a la the ITC Entertainment Group logo variant.
-'''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.
