1st Bumper (2004-2005)
Visuals: On a blue background with a moving light blue hole in the middle is a close up of the text "VIDEONOW.COM" (in Nedian Medium) inside of a stretched-out multicolored oval. The oval rotates from left to right, then it zooms out to the middle of the screen. After the zoom-out, the oval turns to us, and at the same time, shines.
Variants:
- On VideoNow Jr. discs, the text in the multicolored oval reads "VIDEONOWJR.COM".
- Some VideoNow Color discs feature "VIDEONOWCOLOR.COM" in the multicolored oval.
Technique: CGI.
Audio: Just a cheerful male announcer saying "Now you can go to VideoNow.com, and check out the latest and greatest shows available for VideoNow! It's all online at www.VideoNow.com!"
Audio Variants:
- Some VideoNow Color discs have the announcer read VideoNowColor.com.
- The VideoNow Jr. version has the announcer say "Now you can go to VideoNowJr.com, and check out the latest and greatest shows available for VideoNow Jr., from Playskool! It's all online at www.VideoNowJr.com!" He also says this in a faster, calmer tone.
- On French VideoNow Color discs, there is no announcer and a long synth note is heard instead.
Availability:
- It can be seen at the end of all VideoNow Color and VideoNow Jr. discs, appearing before the player's End of Disc bumper from the era. [Examples?]
- This does not appear on the VideoNow Media Wizard discs, as they cut straight to the End of Disc bumper after their content.
2nd Bumper (2005-2007)
Visuals: The black URL "VIDEONOW.COM", with white outlines and in the VideoNow corporate font, ripples and then settles. As it settles, a rainbow-colored puddle ripples in the background with edges of black on each ripple.
Technique: CGI.
Audio: A female announcer says "Now you can go to VideoNow.com, and check out the latest and greatest shows for VideoNow."
Availability: Can be seen at the end of all VideoNow XP and VideoNow Color FX discs, usually prior to the player's End of Disc bumper from the era or an off screen announcement regarding extra content being accessible on VideoNow XP players only. [Examples?]
