Visuals: On a blue background, the green "JIM HENSON" signature writes itself. Below it, the word "VIDEO", in spaced out letters and with a red line above it, fades in underneath.

Variants:

• The original North American variant has "VIDEO" spaced out more, and the red line reaches to the "J".
• A still variant of this logo exists, which features the white words "DISTRIBUTED BY BUENA VISTA HOME VIDEO" appearing at the bottom of the screen. This appears on early 1993 VHS release usually after the "Available on Jim Henson Records" bumper. In the UK, this variant is spotted on the Muppet Babies VHS releases as they were taken from the U.S. prints of the VHS releases.
  • On several demo VHS releases, the byline is scaled larger than usual, thus having the logo positioned higher than usual like the British bumpers.
• On the coming soon version of the Muppet Sing-Alongs: Billy Bunny's Animal Songs trailer, the white text "Coming This Summer" appears below the still logo.
• A variant also exists, where the logo animates like normal but off-center, and "NOW AVAILABLE" also fades in below.

Technique: 2D computer animation.

Audio: A slowed-down variant of the 1991 Walt Disney Home Video theme.

Audio Variant: On VHS releases of Muppet Babies, the end theme to the show itself is used.

Availability: It appears at the end of early Jim Henson Video VHS and Laserdisc releases by Buena Vista Home Video from the time-period until 1996.

• Apart from the promos featured, this doesn't appear at the beginning, as the Jim Henson Productions logo is used instead.
• It also appears on the promotional video for Jim Henson Video on the demo VHS release of The Muppet Movie.
• It also appears on UK VHS releases such as the 1994 UK VHS release of It's the Muppets!: Meet the Muppets!, among others.
• The U.S. VHS releases of The Muppet Christmas Carol and Muppet Treasure Island don't have this logo. It also doesn't appear on Muppet Treasure Island, which uses the Jim Henson Productions logo at the end instead.
