Logo description by mr3urious

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
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)
Nickname: "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- )
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.
