- "Coming to LaserDisc"

- "Feature Presentation"
- "Stay Tuned for a Bonus Program"
The text is in a sans-sarif font. Variants:
- Sometimes, the bumpers fly from the top-left.

Simple cel animation.
Trivia:
The LaserDisc ones were used beginning in 1989, when iVideo began distributing them.
Starting in 1984, iVideo delivered a pamplet titled A guide to the little clip-ons, where it explains what they mean. According to the pamplet, Coming to/Now on means the title is for rent. The Hit Titles bumpers were used for extremely successful titles.
Music/Sounds:
A voiceover, along with the Bruton Music track "Seaspeed" by Alan Hawkshaw.
Music/Sounds Variants: Some have only the voiceover. Availability: Available on every videotape and LaserDisc by the company.
