Background: Key Video was a sub-label of CBS/Fox Video for low-budget, classic, and TV movie releases on video. It was later reactivated by 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment as "Key DVD" to distribute budget DVDs, but this incarnation was short-lived.
Nicknames: "Space"
Logo: On a computerized space background, the words "KEY VIDEO", in a yellow Helvetica font, appear with a dissolving effect, arranged in a spiral-like fashion. They spin and spiral around five times, then arrange themselves in a straight line. After a couple of seconds, they dissolve out with a "chyron mist" effect.
Variant: A black and white variant exists. This can be found on the 1984 VHS of The Treasure of the Sierra Madre.
FX/SFX: Early 80's CG.
Music/Sounds: A heavy synth theme that seems to increase in pitch during its duration. This is from the Emil Ascher, Inc. library titled “Upsweep” (later reissued on Parry Music as "Sports Break").
Availability: Extremely rare, due to its very short lifespan and the fact that releases with this logo carried the next logo on the packaging. Tapes that have it include Who'll Stop the Rain, The Buddy System, Listen to Your Heart, Where's Poppa?, Zardoz, Foxes, I Am a Fugitive From a Chain Gang, and The Hospital.
Nicknames: "The Key", "Tri-Colored Key"
Logo: On a shady gray background, two 3-D elongated shapes and a cylinder flip towards the screen. The shapes align together, forming the outline of a key, as the 3-D words "KEY VIDEO" zoom out below. The logo “shines” and turns colorful, the top half blue, the circle part red, and the bottom half purple. The text "KEY VIDEO" (in ITC Lubalin Graph Bold) is in a shade of pink, white, and blue.
Variants:
•On B&W releases, the logo is grayscaled. Titles with this include Attack of the 50 Ft. Woman, Young Frankenstein, and The Pride of the Yankees, among others.
•This has appeared in orange, blue, and green colors at least once. The background is a more grayish color and the "KEY VIDEO" text is shaded in green, white, and orange. So far, it appeared on the VHS release of Footlight Serenade.
•The Chace Surround Sound logo may appear at the top left of the screen. This is on the one instance of the orange/green variant we know of.
