#Fhe paintbrush logo movie

After the 1988 IVE warning replaced the other one, there was a gentle fade from the warning to this logo. Before 1990, there was often a jarring cut from the FBI warning to this logo. There is no 'WHOOSH' at the end in this variation.įX/SFX: The 'flipping' screen, the drawn letters.Ĭheesy Factor: The screen 'flipping' is an Eighties SFX standard it is merely the image being stretched and squashed.

Some tapes have the logo's beginning omitted, instead starting at the point where the letters are drawn in.

After three seconds, the screen zooms downward surging to the regular FHE logo.

At the end of some tapes, a yellow screen that reads 'also AVAILABLE from' (in white) zooms in.

A still variant appears on the 1987 VHS of To Be a Clown, where the background is black and the logo is shifted further down.

A still version can be seen on various Transformers promos. A byline for IVE/NCB is shown on the bottom.

Later video releases have the logo on a black background with the lines fading-in and the FHE text drawing itself on faster than usual and a bit different.

After the logo is formed, it fades to black.

#Fhe paintbrush logo movie

On several Robotech releases from 1987, as well as The Teddy Bears' Picnic and Babar: The Movie from 1989, the colors are a bit faded.

Under that the words ' Family Home Entertainment' typed in, and then the picture zooms away downward. Black dots appear in-between the letters, changing to 'f.h.e.'. They are colored, in order, a red ' f', a blue ' h', and a yellow ' e', respectively. (Two solid lines with a segmented line in the middle) One at a time, the letters are drawn on the lines in a crayon-like font.

Logo: A yellow-orange screen 'flips' in, and it has one of those lines you used to practice writing letters at school. Nicknames: 'F.H.E.', 'Handwriting Pad', 'Cheesy Writing', 'Another Cheesy F.H.E' The bad animation and eerie music/noises may get to some people, but the logo is probably one of the most soda-like in the world! You'll also probably derive unintentional comedy from how badly made this is, or nostalgia for the company's early releases. This also made a surprise appearance on the 1986 reprint/reissue of Peter Cottontail's Adventures. Other releases that may include this logo are Blackstar, The New Adventures of Zorro, Journey Back to Oz, Dorothy in the Land of Oz, Panda and the Magic Serpent, Gaiking, a few Spaceketeers releases, some Inspector Gadget tapes, and early releases of Gumby (retained on a 1987 reprint/reissue of A Gumby Summer) and Care Bears just find an over-sized box containing an early FHE print of this logo on the cover. It first appeared on The World of Strawberry Shortcake. When the logo forms, a 4-note synthesized chord/whoosh fanfare can be heard, which came from a stock music library.Īvailability: Rare. Music/Sounds: The space background has electronic popping/fizz noises. The 'sun' looks ridiculously fake (resembling a fizzing Alka-Seltzer tablet more than anything else), the colors are rather gaudy, the music is super annoying, the font is really ugly and the space background looks like it was done on an Apple II. Some tapes start the logo just as the 'sun' appears, while others start the logo right as it morphs into the words ' FAMILY HOME'.įX/SFX: The transformation of the sun into 'FAMILY HOME ENTERTAINMENT' and the 'flying' effects for the logos.Ĭheesy Factor: This one goes off the charts. Sometimes, there are screen cuts at the beginning and end of the logo.Home Video, a 'Prevues of Coming Attractions' bumper plays but it fades to the short version of the logo. At the end of some tapes such as Beauty and the Beast (1983) and pre-1985 videos from Monterey and U.S.A.After a few seconds the logo flies up with computer effects and we are left with only a shot of the stars before we fade out.

Then ' ENTERTAINMENT' in the same font flies from behind the text on top of the screen and settles underneath the 'FAMILY HOME' text. After a few seconds of sizzling, it then transforms into the purple words ' FAMILY HOME', set in 'Baby Teeth' (whose digital incarnation goes by 'Surfside'). Logo: The screen fades to a space background, a large pink/ purple 'sun' slowly moves towards us.

Nicknames: 'Soda Pop', 'Cheesy FHE', 'FHE in Space', 'Cheesy Star'
