Logo captures by Eric S.

1st Logo
(1989-1996)
Various Home Video logos - CLG Wiki
Nickname: “BFS in Space”

Logo: On a blue space background with white stars zooming towards us, “BFS VIDEO”, which consists of “BFS” in bold Helvetica font with segmented lines on the bottom half (like in the CBS-Fox logo), and a thinner “VIDEO” font, zooms out to the bottom-right corner of the screen, tilted on its side. It then zooms back in towards us and rotates slightly and then settles in place. A few seconds later, the logo shifts up, and a warning message starts scrolling below the logo.

FX/Cheesy Factor: The animation’s too simple, but you gotta give them credit for including a scrolling warning text underneath the logo!

Music/Sounds: A dramatic synthesized orchestra fanfare with a "tinkling" sound at the end.

Music Variant: On some tapes, the music is a news promo-like fanfare.

Availability: Check an old mom-and-pop store or E-Bay for this logo. You might spot it on VHS releases of BBC (i.e. Blake's 7) and ITV’s shows from the UK.

Scare Factor: Minimal.


2nd Logo
(1996- )

Various Home Video logos - CLG Wiki

Logo: Against a green marble BG, a close up shot in between the letters "BFS VIDEO", in red, pan across from left to right, and then they zoom out and turn into place, where a gray sphere fades in. The letters are in a 3D font that seems to shoot out toward us toward the top and bottom. The letters then shine and the logo shrinks to the top of the screen, where a warning message scrolls up like before.

FX: Better animation than before.

Music/Sounds: An easy-listening tune that seems to be taken off a sitcom intro.

Availability: Currently in use.

Scare Factor: Minimal.
