Logo: A yellow-orange screen "flips" in, and it has one of those lines you used to practice writing letters at school. Nicknames: "F.H.E.", "Handwriting Pad", "Cheesy Writing", "Another Cheesy F.H.E" The bad animation and eerie music/noises may get to some people, but the logo is probably one of the most soda-like in the world! You'll also probably derive unintentional comedy from how badly made this is, or nostalgia for the company's early releases. This also made a surprise appearance on the 1986 reprint/reissue of Peter Cottontail's Adventures. Other releases that may include this logo are Blackstar, The New Adventures of Zorro, Journey Back to Oz, Dorothy in the Land of Oz, Panda and the Magic Serpent, Gaiking, a few Spaceketeers releases, some Inspector Gadget tapes, and early releases of Gumby (retained on a 1987 reprint/reissue of A Gumby Summer) and Care Bears just find an over-sized box containing an early FHE print of this logo on the cover. It first appeared on The World of Strawberry Shortcake. When the logo forms, a 4-note synthesized chord/whoosh fanfare can be heard, which came from a stock music library.Īvailability: Rare. Music/Sounds: The space background has electronic popping/fizz noises. The "sun" looks ridiculously fake (resembling a fizzing Alka-Seltzer tablet more than anything else), the colors are rather gaudy, the music is super annoying, the font is really ugly and the space background looks like it was done on an Apple II. Some tapes start the logo just as the "sun" appears, while others start the logo right as it morphs into the words " FAMILY HOME".įX/SFX: The transformation of the sun into "FAMILY HOME ENTERTAINMENT" and the "flying" effects for the logos.Ĭheesy Factor: This one goes off the charts. Sometimes, there are screen cuts at the beginning and end of the logo.Home Video, a "Prevues of Coming Attractions" bumper plays but it fades to the short version of the logo. At the end of some tapes such as Beauty and the Beast (1983) and pre-1985 videos from Monterey and U.S.A.After a few seconds the logo flies up with computer effects and we are left with only a shot of the stars before we fade out. Then " ENTERTAINMENT" in the same font flies from behind the text on top of the screen and settles underneath the "FAMILY HOME" text. After a few seconds of sizzling, it then transforms into the purple words " FAMILY HOME", set in "Baby Teeth" (whose digital incarnation goes by "Surfside"). Logo: The screen fades to a space background, a large pink/ purple "sun" slowly moves towards us. Nicknames: "Soda Pop", "Cheesy FHE", "FHE in Space", "Cheesy Star"
