Logo descriptions by StephenCezar15 and Logophile
Logo: We see a piano twisting against a photo collage background with a weird person directly behind it. A city skyline pans in front of us, in which it looks like it's made of junk, the guy from the first scene is seen looking around briefly. Then we cut to a monster that's playing a guitar. After that scene, the weird person from the first scene plays on an animated saxophone, which causes it to blow fireworks. After more panning to random objects, a large V draws over what looks like a Christmas Ornament, and "music" comes out of that V. The V zooms in to a camera, we zoom in to the shutter of a camera, and finally the MCA Music Video logo shows up.

Nickname: "The MCA Acid Trip", "The Acid House"

FX/SFX: Everything in the logo, mainly done with stop-motion but also with some computer graphics.
Music/Sounds: An '80s pop rock/pop tune.
Availability: Seen on video releases at the time, such as Larry Carlton Live.
Editor's Note: This logo is one of the weirdest logos ever made, given how completely random it is, and how everything in the logo comes out of nowhere. That being said, it's also a very creative and stylish logo as well.
