Background:

Sandstar Family Entertainment was a home video distributor based in Salt Lake City, Utah, formed in 1989 as Leucadia Film Corporation before a change in ownership in 1996 rebranded the company as Sandstar. It distributed many live-action family and religious films and cartoons. In 2003, Sandstar was sold to Feature Films for Families.

Logo (1997-2003)

Visuals: On a space background, small yellow particles appear on screen, which quickly build up a far higher amount of them. They eventually form a tall vertical opening briefly before rotating around and solidifying into the text "SANDSTAR", in a 3D yellow Times New Roman font with the S's being slightly bigger than the rest of the text. A cross of orange/purple flames eventually erupt from behind the 2nd A, engulfing the entire word for a few seconds. When it eventually shrinks back down, the A is replaced with a large 4-pointed star in its place.

Variants:

A later version introduced instead has the star just fading in over the 2nd A, shining as the logo zooms out. The logo is also smaller.
An enhanced version of that logo appears later on as well, with the star appearing with a large flash when the logo is still dust, and extra shining effects appear on the text.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: Originally silent, but the enhanced version has a cheery, ascending orchestral tune with eight notes as the dust forms and a held-out note as the logo appears.

Availability: Can be spotted on some VHS and DVD prints of other family films and cartoons and religious tapes. The regular version has been seen on a print of White Wolves, the full variant has been spotted on a 2002 VHS print of Race to Space, and the short variant has been seen on a 1997 VHS print of White Wolves: A Cry in the Wild and a 2001 USA Home Entertainment VHS print of Franklin's Magic Christmas.
