It was used on-screen from 1987 to 1992.

3rd Logo (USA; VHS, Laserdisc, CD-i, TVD, and DVD) (October 27, 1989-)[]

WARNING: This logo contains an old telephone number. Please do not try to dial it.

Logo: A white line, the half of the circle the bottom and a blue space background fades in and it's filled in to reveal Abner the Baseball, who stares with a closed-mouth smile as cluster of comets shoot over his head in opposite directions as he watches the comets in awe. Then, a large "Object", and colored yellow-orange, flies in and settles over Baseball. The white text "H O M E V I D E O" then fades in below, with Baseball between both words. He then stares at them before fading out.

  • There is an extended variant where a white line draws along the bottom and eyes, mouth, a white outline circle, and baseball stitches draws itself and did the same thing for the normal logo, and after that, Abner the Baseball looking down at the line.

Then, a medium "Adult", and colored yellow-orange, flies in and settles over the "Object" text.
  • There is a ”Object Play Along Video“ variant from 1999 where the words “Object” and colored yellow-orange flips word by word in the background and Baseball walks and stands right next to the word who stares in awe, and a colorful ribbon wipes in with blur and shines and reveals the words PLAY ALONG VIDEO and he does a Vanna White-like pose and winks at the audience.
  • There is a "Object Kids" variant from 1992-2004 where Shell runs to him and bumps it when the words "HOME VIDEO" fades out.

  • On the 2001 TV movie Nine Reefee Street, it uses a still version of the Adult Object Home Video variant that cuts in.
  • There is an "Object Classics" variant from 1994-present where a picture of Firey, Leafy, Bubble, Baseball (mascot), Nickel and Lightbulb, all standing together with big, goofy grins from the II S1 Ep1 assets, “flips” up and moves towards the screen. When it is in position, there is a large, cheesy-looking flash, then the “OBJECT” script logo, in red and treated pretty badly, is “wiped” in from both sides with a cheesy-looking “sparkly trail” effect. Then, after that forms, A long, elongated rounded rectangle with the words “CLASSICS” on each side, flips up.
  • There is a Christmas variant where Santa Hat is formed instead of Baseball. A snowball whooshes past him and transforms into Yin-Yang. They both hug as O becomes a snowflake. In National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation: The Object Version (in which Object Home Video temporarily became a production company), right after the O becomes a snowflake, Firey pops up. Yin-Yang picks up the snowflake and throws it at Firey, who ducks. It then bounces off of the space background, which falls backwards to reveal a soundstage. The snowflake chops off the cameraman’s head (if you slow it down, the cameraman is revealed to be a camerawoman a.k.a Lollipop from BFB) and hits Santa Hat in the knee. Santa Hat screams “OW MY FREAKIN’ KNEE!!” before falling over. Yin says “This is why I don’t work with anybody except myself.” and it all cuts to black.
  • There is an "Object Concert Films" variant from 2001 and 2007 where the "HOME VIDEO" text is replaced with "CONCERT FILMS".

Technique: Computer animation, with Baseball in 2D. None for the still and early variants.

Music/Sounds: A warbly "outer space" synth scale, with a one synth ding then a dreamy synth ditty, a series of synth whooshes and 5 synth dings at the end while holding the last note. Also used on every character variant except Paintbrush. In the extended variant: a same warbly space synth and 4-note synth tune (which was done on the Roland D-50 synthesizer by using the "Staccato Heaven" patch) can be heard at the start when the line draws, followed by a 2-note synth horn tune, then silence, followed by another 2-note synth horn tune when the eyes and mouth is being drawn and a synthesized stinger, followed by a descending harp sound and a 5-note horn-like tune when the outline circle is being drawn and another synthesized stinger, followed by an ascending then descending clarinet tune when the red stiches followed by yet another synthesized stinger when it filled in to reveal Abner the Baseball and the same music from the logo plays afterwards. In the short variant: two synth notes, then an odd, rapid synth tune that sounds similar to cliché cartoon outer-space music.

Music/Sounds Variants:

  • Sometimes, the logo only has the synth ditty but without the whooshes.
  • On the Adult Object Home Video logo for 1997 and the "Paintbrush" variant: A 1-note synth theme sustains the opening note of Bandai Presents part of Bandai Emotion's 1984 theme, with chimes and wind blowing, then which is then interrupted by a metal guitar tune (the intro part from "Ten Ton Hammer" by Machine Head). Proceeding is the whoosh and "boom" of the UFO (cut from the Paintbrush variant), an alarm whooping, a red alert alarm and an ascending sci-fi whoosh. When Baseball is turning evil and roars a weird roaring scream is heard probably from him (cut from the Paintbrush variant). An old fashioned-sounding explosion is heard for the remainder. At the end the "Paintbrush" variant: when Baseball appears at the end, the ending 7 synth fanfare sustains the ending notes of the MuppetVision 3D preshow was heard after Paintbrush faints forward.
  • In Object Classics Home Video Variant: Same music as the Hanna-Barbera Home Video logo.

  • in Object Play Along Video logo from 1997-2003: Same music as the Jim Henson Play Along Video logo in -3 low pitch.
  • In Object Kids logo: A spacey-like theme same as the Nick Jr. Penguins ID.
