GoldenVision

GoldenVision was the general entertainment division of Golden Book Video formed in 1987 while the company's output was still generally adaptations of the company's books. In 1991, the division was abandoned when Golden Book Video moved most of its general entertainment output into its parent division.

Logo (1987-1991)

Visuals:

• Opening: The sequence fades in to the end part of the Golden Book Video logo, where it shines all over. Suddenly, the logo zooms out, and the screen zooms out through a giant outlined "V" over an orange rectangle, on its side. It rotates into place, and "GOLDEN" zooms out, then "VISION" (with a "V" that’s bigger than the other letters), and the sides of the words are visible as they zoom out, but they then turn into place. Once the two words settle onto the rectangle, the rectangle produces a yellow flash around the edges. The words shine twice, then the rectangle's edges flash yellow again.
• Closing: Just the fully-formed logo shining.

Technique: CGI mixed with 2D animation.

Audio:

• Opening: The last few seconds of the 1986 variant of the Golden Book Video logo music mixed with an extra 4-note fanfare is heard at the beginning of the logo, which transforms into a whoosh the GoldenVision logo appears, and crescends into a synthesizer tune, which sounds like something on a light rock station (or a 16-bit Sega Genesis system or MIDI file).
• Closing: None.

Availability: Can be found on some GBV "GoldenVision" tapes, such as Dinosaurs: A Fun-Filled Trip Back in Time and the original Schoolhouse Rock VHS releases.
