(1980s-1990s, 2001)
Kadokawa Video
Nickname: "Bird on Blue"

blue background, we see a blue Kadokawa bird in a white rectangle. Above and below this is "KADOKAWA VIDEO" in white.

2nd Logo
(1990s-2003)

Kadokawa Video (1982)

Nickname: "Bird on Blue II"

Logo: Same as before, but the name is in one line and there is no box, with the bird being above the logo in a larger size than before, as well as being in white.

FX/SFX: Only fading in and out.

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: Appeared on VHS and DVD anime releases. It was seen on ADV's release of Full Metal Panic! from 2003. It also was on Saber Marionette J on video both in Japanese and English.


3rd Logo
(2000's - )


Nicknames: "The Silver Bird in Video", "The Fiery Medallion in Video"

Logo: It's essentially same as the short version of the Kadokawa Shoten logo, but with orange rings zooming out to the bottom of the bird and disappearing when under the bird, and a blue comet swiping from the left, forming "KADOKAWA VIDEO" below it,followed by blue sparks shining out from behind.

FX/SFX: Same as Kadokawa Shoten.

Music/Sounds: The short version of the Kadokawa Shoten theme.

Availability: Common. Appears on most releases of anime titles, and can be seen on Funimation's releases of Chrono Crusade, Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt, and Deadman Wonderland.

Editor's Note: An improvement from the previous two logos, since this one has interesting visuals and music.
