Alpha Video Distributors
1st (known) Logo
(Early '90s-early1990s-Early '00s)2000s)
Logo: On a gray marble BG, a yellow square with a star cut out of it and three curvy lines on the right (forming a flag) with "Alpha Video Distributors" seen on the right, zoom up to the top of the screen. Fading in below are the words "The Finest in Children's Entertainment", in white.
Variant: Sometimes it swivelsflips up to the screen, then cuts to the Greatest Film Classics logo.
FX: The zoom-up.zoom-up (or flip-up).
Cheesy Factor: This logo is extremely cheap, but that's expected coming from a low-budget video distributor. :-)
Music/Sounds: Same music as the New Age Video logo.
Availability: Uncommon; seen on old tapes of public domain cartoons, and may be plastered over with the 2nd New Age Video logo.
Scare Factor: Low to medium; the synth music and darkness may scare some.

Alpha Video Classics
(2000s- )
Logo: Against a cloudy sky in the evening, some silver stars circle around, followed by a blue square and three waving red stripes. The square turns upright to face us as a large silver star zooms out and plasters itself onto it. The stripes arrange themselves on the left of the square, and the ring of stars circle out into the distance. Some sunbeams form the words "Alpha Video Classics", in silver, and the star shines.
FX: All the CGI effects, which are decent.
Cheesy Factor: Were the circling stars really necessary?
Music/Sounds: A dramatic synth bass sound, a "pow" when the star hits the square, and a short piano ditty at the end.
Availability: Seen on DVDs of classic TV shows and films, for instance, Jeff's Collie, and even some exploitation films.
Scare Factor: Low.
