Logo: On a black background, the horizontal bar in the middle expands to reveal the clips of the movies (albeit black and white and washed-up), the triangular ghost with something red in his mouth peeks in from the bottom-left corner, backs away a little and peaks out, then he peeks in from the top-right corner and peeks out again. Finally, the ghost flies in from the top-left corner to the center of the screen, swirling around, to reveal that he's holding and nibbling the red square with "BOOM" with two O's conjoined in the Venn diagram-like formation at the bottom and a white banner with "VIDEO" at the top-right corner, all inside the square, and zooms in a little bit. The ghost then fades out and the orange scrolling warning text in the serif font starts, and the movie clips background wipes out with the barn door transition, ending the logo.

FX/SFX: Clips from movies, early CGI. The whole logo is shown in the 16:9 aspect ratio, while the warning is
shown in the 4:3 aspect ratio.

Music/Sounds: A suspenseful nature-like tune that lasts for 57 seconds.

Availability: Rare. Seen on old Polish VHS tapes.

2nd Logo
(1994-1999)

Logo: On a white background, there is what appears to be clouds scrolling across the screen, as many colorful shapes of different shape and color fly around the screen. After a bit, a red square scrolls across the screen, before return from the bottom of the screen. As that happens, it gets fully revealed and the shapes disappear as the ghost flies in and rests in front of the square. The square then fades to the front of the ghost and the text "BOOM" appears in the same way as before. The screen then flashes and copyright information scrolls up.

FX/SFX: The clouds, shapes, and ghost.

Music/Sounds: An upbeat synth tune.

Availability: Rare. Seen on later releases.
