Logo: On a black background, we see a purple blue spark draw the word "York" in a blue cursive font. Once it's finished, a thin light blue line slides in from the right of the screen and stops below the word. Then the words "HOME·VIDEO" in a purple blue font slide in below the line.
FX/SFX: Drawing of the word, sliding of the line and words.
Music/Sounds: A laser sound, accompanied by a four note bell synth theme. On the third note, the laser sound stops and a rain-stick synth is heard as the line slides into place. On the fourth note, the rain-stick stops, and a pound note is heard as the words slide in below the line.
Availability: Rare. Appears on VHS prints of Return to Frogtown, the uncut version of Trapped (AKA The Killing Jar) and Almost Hollywood, possibly among other titles.
Logo: On a black background, we see the "York" logotype move across, it is in a glassy 3D style. We follow the word's curvature as the logo zooms back and the background becomes blue/black gradient. A line is below the right half of "York", and the words "HOME VIDEO" flip into view below the line.
FX/SFX: The word moving and the background.
Music/Sounds: Some warbling and droning synth sounds and a synth chime/choir fanfare.
Availability: Appeared on the VHS releases of Perfect Assassins, Spoiler, Johnny 2.0 and Sleeping Dogs.
Logo: On a black background, we see a spark writing the word "York" in gold cursive font in the same way as in previous logos, but more like the first logo. The text leaves stardust, forming "ENTERTAINMENT" in a tall font below. When the word "York" done writing, a scarlet square with a gold border, containing naked female silhouette with fairy wings, swinging her wand with stardust swirling from the tip of her wand, zoom in, making the words "York" and "ENTERTAINMENT" zoom out a bit and move to the top and bottom, respectively. It then fades to a screen displaying the company's URL, as a line is drawn beneath it.
Variants:
•Sometimes the URL portion is not present.
•There is also a still variant, used earlier on.
FX/SFX: The spark and zooming.
Music/Sounds: A harp flourish, followed by a five-note theme and a cymbal crash. For the main version, a voice-over says "For the latest entertainment news, check us out at www.yorkentertainment.com." Other times, it's silent.
