1st (maybe only) Logo
(1985-1991)

Note: Not to be confused with Family Home Entertainment USA. The company distributed films from Heron Communications.


Logo: On a gray/white (or blue/white) gradient background, the parts of the Family Home Entertainment logo, consisting of the word "Family" in a cursive fontcoming in from the top with a star dotting the I, two triangles, one yellow and one white, coming in from the left and right sides respectively (ending with the white overlapping the yellow one) and "HOME ENTERTAINMENT" in a cheaper black font, and between two lines, coming in from the bottom, all form in the center of the screen.

Variants:

• Sometimes, the logo is fully formed, then splits into two, unfolding to reveal "Presents", in a diagonal yellow cursive font, at the beginning of the tape.
• If there's more than one episode on the tape, the logo animates as normal, but "Intermission", in the same font as "Presents", is shown instead (I do not know if there is a version at the end of tapes where they show "The End", though, although I assume there isn't).

FX: The parts sliding in, or the logo "unfolding".

Music/Sounds: A five note synthesizer tune, with a sound that sounds like a Jetsons flying car at the end. Sounds kind of like the American FHE logo from 1991.

Availability: On Aussie PAL releases, from Fisher-Price Video and Hi-Tops Video, at least.

Scare Factor: Low, due to the music.
