On some VHS releases, "HOME VIDEO" (in gold serif text or white sans serif text) fades in under it. Sometimes, "PRESENTS" fades in below "HOME VIDEO". <br/><br/><u>Variants</u>: <br/></font> </font><ul><font size="3"> <li>There is a (sometimes shortened) variant where the text doesn't change colors.</li><li> On the "Kids Sing Along" series, the logo would disappear via a page turning effect to reveal "presents" in a metallic font, which would turn away again to reveal the "Kids Sing Along" title card. </li><li> Later versions have a blue gradient background (same background used for the GoodTimes "rainbow" logo) instead of a solid blue background. There is no TM bug.<br/> </li><li> One variant has a different colored logo flying up from the bottom of the screen. </li><li> There may be a copyright date chyroned in and "HOME VIDEO" is in a bigger font size. It was used for the closing version.</li></font></ul><font size="3"><font> <br/><u>FX/SFX</u>: The shimmering colors. The logo was designed by Assael Associates in Florida.<br/><br/><u>Music/Sounds</u>: On the TV variant, an overly synthesized circus-like tune is heard. On the video variant, a kettle drum pound is heard along with a cymbal crash and then a 7-note triumphant fanfare. Sometimes, it is silent or has a lush orchestrated fanfare.</font>The "Kids Sing Along" variant uses a different synth fanfare. Sometimes, it's silent.</font><div><font size="3"><br/></font></div><div><font size="3"><u>Music/Sounds Variant</u>: On the 1985 VHS release of <i>Popeye Meets Sinbad The Sailor/Ali Baba And The Forty Thieves, </i>a man chants "Kids Klassics Presents!"</font></div><div><font size="3"><br/><u>Availability</u>: Rare.
