Background: This is the home video arm of Rhino Records, now part of the Warner Music Group.


1st Logo
(Late '80s)

Nicknames: "1, 2, 3...RHINO!", "Elvis Rhino"

Logo: On a "stone" background, we see the number one. The screen "flashes" and we see the number two. Again, we see a number three. Then on the fourth flash, we see a
Rhino Home Video cartoon rhino (wearing what looks like a leather jacket and gloves and a modified Elvis haircut) in a TV tube, with the word RHINO over him, changing colours and VIDEO below. While all this happens, the rhino snaps his fingers (this is barely noticeable). A yellow "haze" surrounds the rhino.

FX/SFX: The "flashing".

Cheesy Factor: The flashing is very, very dated, even for the late '80s, and the whole thing looks like it was made in 2 minutes in someone's basement!

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: Very rare; this was on the earliest Rhino tapes.


Scare Factor: Medium to high, depending on your taste of the rhino, the flashing, and also the fact it is silent.



2nd Logo
(Early '90s-Late '90s)

Rhino Home Video - CLG WikiNickname: "The Football"

Logo: Against a light gray marble BG, the words "RHINO" (in jumbled
silver letters) come in from the right side of the screen, along with a red 3D oval (looking kind of like a football). They turn to face us and zoom back, then the lights dim.

FX/SFX: The text and "football".

Music/Sounds: A synth bass sounder with a dramatic UAV-like "whoosh" when the logo comes in.

Availability: Can be seen on the South Park VHS's from 1998-1999 and other tapes of the time.

Scare Factor: Low to medium, due to the music.



3rd Logo
(Late '90s- )
Rhino Home Video - CLG Wiki

Logo: Against a black BG, a 2D version of the Rhino logo from before (in a brighter
red color from before) zooms up. It shines with a lens flare, and "HOME VIDEO", in purple, fades in below.

FX/SFX: The zoom and shine.

Cheesy Factor: Too simple for a late '90s logo.

Music/Sounds: A dramatic synth-string sounder with a "bling" during the shine, and ending with a short choir tune and a "slam" sound.

Availability: Seen on recent DVDs of music videos and many MST3K DVDs.

Scare Factor: Low; although tamer than before, the music is sure to give some people the chills.

Seeing as the music for the first logo is classed as TBA, does anybody know what type of music they used? If you do, let me know.

Thanks.
