Background
Pearson Television Video (or PT Video for short) was a home video distributor that was founded in 1998 from a merger of Pearson New Entertainment Video and Thames Video to distribute titles on videocassette. It became "FremantleMedia Home Entertainment" by 2001.
(1998-2001)
Nicknames: "PT", "PT Block", "PT Cube"
Logo: On a moving purple background, we see a circular light moving from the logo. Then we see what appears to be a shape of a cube with words cote-out: "P" on the left side, "T" on the right side, and "VIDEO" on the bottom right of the cube. The logo brightens, as the cube turns blue with pink and green hues, which then glows brighter. The byline "A Division of Pearson Television International Ltd" fades in below the cube.
FX/SFX: The light moving bright, the dark cube-shape appearing and brightening, and the fading in of the byline.
Music/Sounds: We start with an echoey clang, and while a single synth pad note plays, we hear what sounds like a jet engine accelerating.
Availability: Seen on PT Video releases from the era, such as Thames releases. It doesn't appear on the 2001 UK VHS reissue of The Wind In The Willows: Autumn Antics, which instead uses the Thames Video Collection logo.
Editor's Note: None.
