Logo descriptions by codyfinke, mr3urious, and Tlogos
Logo captures by codyfinke, Eric S. and V of Doom
Background: Time-Life Video was a music and video direct-marketing division of Time, Inc. In 2004, Time Warner sold Time Life to Direct Holdings Americas, Inc., a catalog and online retailer.
1st Logo
(1975-1980)
Nickname: "TLV"
Logo: On a blue BG, we see a red box surrounded by a black square outline, resembling a television. inside the TV, we see a long T connected to a long L, which is connected to a long V, next to it, the words "Great Programs" appears next to the TV with a trademark sign next to it. Under that are the words "Time Life Video" in a faded font. A white haze surrounds the logo.
FX/SFX: None.
Cheesy Factor: The fonts are very '70s-ish.
Music/Sounds: None.
Availability: Extremely rare; it only appeared on the Great Programs series of beta tapes (Which are the first pre-recorded tapes ever).
Scare Factor: None; no animation in a logo is usually boring. The next logo is a different story...
2nd Logo
(1980-1986)
Nicknames: "T-L", "Time Life", "The Time Life TV Set", "T-L TV Monitor from/of Hell/Doom"
Logo: Same as the Time-Life Television logo, but it reads "TIME LIFE VIDEO" instead.
FX/SFX/Cheesy Factor: Same as the Time Life Television logo.
Music/Sounds: Same as the Time Life Television logo. Sometimes, an announcer will say, "The material of this videocassette is protected by copyright. It is for private use only and any other use including copying, reproducing, or performance in public, in whole or in part, is prohibited by law.".
Availability: Extremely rare; it appears on some non-Vestron released NOVA tapes.

4th Logo
(1992-2001)

Then, the pictures clear away to a square, and "TIME LIFE", with "TIME" in the Time Magazine logo font and "LIFE" in the Life Magazine logo font, scroll to us. Then the pictures in the rectangle turn red to make its presence for the Life magazine corporate logo. The word "VIDEO" appears under the Life corporate logo in a "laser" effect.
