Logo description and capture by MachineryNoise

Norstar Home Video Inc.

Logo (1984-1991)

Visuals: On a black/blue gradient background, a lavender object zooms out while rotating clockwise rapidly, before settling in the top center of the screen. The object consists of 5 italicized "N"'s arranged in a way that a 5-pointed star can be seen in the center. From the lower left "N", a lavender serif "N" emerges from it and swoops over to the bottom left, with the rest of it wiping in to the right to form "NORSTAR HOME VIDEO INC.". The text also fades to white.

Variant: On the Canadian VHS of Tramp at the Door, the colors are altered: the background is white, the object is blue, as well as the text's initial color before turning to black.

Technique: Simple computer animation.

Audio: An calm male announcer saying "The following is a Norstar Home Video release." at the beginning of tapes. Otherwise, either at the end of tapes or at the beginning of French-Canadian tapes, none.

Availability: Appears on Canadian VHS releases of Ghost Fever, Cold Feet, Jack's Back, Bullies, Hello Mary Lou: Prom Night II, I've Heard the Mermaids Singing, Demons 1 & 2, Blindside, 90 Days, A Room with a View, Heat (1986), and a French-Canadian VHS of A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master.

Norstar Entertainment Inc.
