Background
LaserLight Digital was a label owned by Delta Leisure Group, formed in the 1980s and releasing primarily classical music, although sometimes it branched out into other genres like reggae. As with its parent label, LaserLight Digital also released public-domain films on VHS. After the American branch of Delta fell apart in 2007, LaserLight Digital went into dormancy.
1st Logo (early/mid 1990s-1998)

Visuals: On a space background, there is a black rectangle with two balls of light seen behind, which begin to slide out from both sides. Various blue lasers shoot the rectangle with the letters "G" and "I" from the logo, which is barely being revealed by each flash. As the last blue laser shoots the "G", the logo is fully revealed.
Technique: CGI.
Audio: A robotic-sounding noise, which then leads to a five-note triumphant fanfare.
Availability: Seen on early releases of the company, such as More Christy Lane's Line Dancing.
2nd Logo (1998-2007)

Visuals: On a black background, a glowing blue dot appears in the center, alongside a line. Two more dots come from the top-left and bottom-right parts of the screen, and collide in the center. The blue dot grows, revealing parts of the LaserLight Digital logo, which consists of the word "LASERLIGHT" cut-out in a silver box, with the similarly cut-out word "DIGITAL" below it in a small yellow rectangle. As the light shrinks, the LaserLight Digital logo zooms in. When the logo stops at a comfortable distance, a light blink appears near the first "L" in the logo and slides to the right.
Technique: CGI.
Audio: A short fanfare, taken from the beginning of Beethoven's "Symphony No. 9", with whooshes and sparkles and a low synth note at the end.
Availability:
- Seen on public-domain releases from the company, such as The Indestructible Man.
- It is also seen on the 1999 UK VHS releases of Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer and Other Stories, The Toothbrush Family: Raining Dinosaurs, and Wind In The Willows: The River Bank and Five Other Stories, the 2000 UK VHS releases of Lift Off: EC and the Lift Off Kids, Lift Off: The Story of EC, Oscar and Friends: Oscar Takes Off, Ludovic: The Snow Gift, Goldilocks and The Three Bears and Puss In Boots (Burbank versions), the 2001 UK VHS release of Coco & Drila Adventures: The Magic Sack Of Santa Claus, and the 2002 UK VHS release of Jack Frost (1979), respectively.
