I have two tapes from this series use to watch them at my late grandmothers house in 1989. Also had several books in this series. Seeing the tapes and these logos brings back memories of a simpler time so thank you for sharing this with us.
I had maybe a couple Golden Book Video tapes as a kid, one was a Sesame Street storybook tape and was my first introduction to Super Grover and the other was Get Ready for School with character designs from Richard Scarry, I believe. Watched the latter quite a bit as a wee tot.
I’m not a fan of the series, but my first Golden Book Video VHS I got is volume 1 of “My Little Pony” G1, the first of 8 volumes in the series featuring episodes from the original animated TV series.
I remember seeing this on my Golden Book Beauty and the Beast tape, as well as my brother's Toxic Crusaders tape. ^^ The first logo always looked so gorgeous to me.
There was a time when Golden Book Video VHS tapes were sold in toy stores like Toys R Us, Kay-Bee and a few others, and these were used in schools or at a local library, and video rental stores back in the day didn’t put out the Golden Book Video tapes for rental, they usually belonged to schools and libraries where kids can watch them.
@@ZakWolf That’s right! And guess what? I got two “My Little Pony” G1 VHS tapes and they were made by Golden Book Video. These are two of the 8 volumes in the series. I have volume 1 and volume 6. I ordered a few more from eBay over the weekend and there will be more on the way.
For me, I would hold up a Space Ghost plush and go "Yeah! It's the Space logo! SPAAAAAACE GHOOOOOOOST... whoops!!" And have Hatsune Miku (one of my favorite plushes I own) go "Seriously?" afterwards.
1:10 Kyle: Okay Kenny, make a wish Kenny (Muffled): Okay (makes a wish) (The comet injures Him) Kenny (Muffled): ouch! Kyle: oh my god! They hit Kenny!
I remember this intro on the video of Scuffy the Tugboat. But I remember the second intro for the video that has the 3 Hans Christian Andersen stories.
Golden book video killers is definitely one of my favorite web series of all time It’s interesting seeing characters from wb and Disney reacting and poking fun at the videos from golden books Yoshi also makes an appearance time and time again Great series guys and great logo history as well
Appeared on “Madeline and the Toy Factory - Golden Book Video/DiC Video - Narrated by Christopher Plummer” (white tape w/ ink label) I am getting “Madeline and the Gypsies” on VHS as much as “Madeline at the Ballet”
Also, as for the two inbetween bumpers with that mysterious blonde girl, those were only used on 4 tapes as far as I'm aware: Poky Little Puppy's Favorite Stories, Scuffy the Tugboat and Friends, The Gingerbread Man and Other Nursery Stories, and Peter Rabbit & Other Tales.
I got volume 1 of “My Little Pony” VHS off of eBay which contains “The Golden Horseshoes” and “The Prince and the Ponies”. I did checked the opening and BINGO! The Golden Book Video logo is in there. And after that, the MLP intro came on. This is my first Golden Book Video I own and the first of 8 volumes of MLP G1 VHS tapes. I did checked the closing, it has the copyright notice screens and the Golden Book Video short logo, no “Space” variant.
Is the second music a PAL variant of the first? It does kinda sound like it is and it's the music I remember from the tapes I had here in Australia when I was a kid (not sure if I've still got them).
I hated the closing logo at 0:51. I remembered that my Kindergarten teacher always had us watch these Golden Book Video tapes. The closing logo comes up unsuspectingly at the end of the video after a calm credits roll and a brief pause. The shining of the logo doesn't look natural either. It looks as if a searchlight is moving across the logo, searching for you. At least, the opening logo had some background music. Luckily, I didn't come across a video with the space version of the logo.
I wish Golden Book had the rights to Hanna-Barbera cartoons, so they could release a Space Ghost video with the space version of the logo. It would be a perfect fit!!
@@YuukiTakemoto1996 I don’t think so. Golden Book Video doesn’t owned HB. Golden Book Video did shut down back in 1996, and it was rebranded as Golden Books Family Entertainment.
Out of all the music used for this logo, the second music from Golden Book Video sounded familiar, but it reminds me of other music from the Centerpoint logo. th-cam.com/video/LQ2HypsJBa0/w-d-xo.html
Scare Factors: Original Variant: Somewhat great music and animation! Ranges low. GoldenVision Variant: Still fine, but ranges from low to medium. Silent, Zooming, and Spinning variants: OMG! This should be ranked high! And the last one is... Closing Variant: SUPER OMG! THIS IS SO NIGHTMARE INDUCING! YOU SHOULD CHECK IT OUT, ITS SO SCARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The second one is the same logo with a different music which was the modified version of “Prestige Logo (A)”. The first one was done by the KPM Music Library.
There are 4 ripoffs: Arctic Home Video (Tanzania) with V1 Music Desert Video Home (Argentina) with V2 Music Blackjack Pictures (Korea) with Golden Vision Music Jupiter Home Entertainment (India) with V3 Music These are fictional, keep it a secret. Signed, Angela.
And don’t forget the Centerpoint logo from the first Howie Mandel TV special in 1983, the music sounds familiar to this, and it was the inspiration for the Golden Book Video logo.

Man, I miss these logos!

Yeah; Golden Book Video tapes also usually cost around $10, and this was back when videocassettes were pretty expensive!

1:10 Daffy: "Yes, it's the "Space" logo! Duck Dodgers and return of the 24th century- *comet injures him* OUCH!!!!"
For me, I would hold up a Space Ghost plush and go "Yeah! It's the Space logo! SPAAAAAACE GHOOOOOOOST... whoops!!" And have Hatsune Miku (one of my favorite plushes I own) go "Seriously?" afterwards.
@@YuukiTakemoto1996 Okay
0:57-1:02 Cue V of doom theme
1:10
Kyle: Okay Kenny, make a wish
Kenny (Muffled): Okay (makes a wish)
(The comet injures Him)

Me and Grumpy dwarf:"The Best in children's entertainment presented by Golden Book Video Killers"
Golden Book Video never scared me, I find it cool as well as GoldenVision
All this and the space variant never scared me. These were cool logos.
1:10
You know....for kids!
SPAAAAAACE GHOOOOOST!!
hello from 5 years ago
1:11 Duck Dodgers in the 24th and a half century! aaaaah. I hate when I do that.
"Get Ready To Read" also has the full logo at the end but silent.
I remember this intro on the video of Scuffy the Tugboat. But I remember the second intro for the video that has the 3 Hans Christian Andersen stories.
i remember this pretty fondly
Only opening theme video where the comments aren't talking about how the opening theme of a video company gave them nightmares.
Golden book video killers is definitely one of my favorite web series of all time
It’s interesting seeing characters from wb and Disney reacting and poking fun at the videos from golden books
Yoshi also makes an appearance time and time again
Great series guys and great logo history as well
The second Golden Book Video logo can be seen on all of the “My Little Pony” G1 VHS tapes.
0:38 Sun It An Dreaming
Appeared on “Madeline and the Toy Factory - Golden Book Video/DiC Video - Narrated by Christopher Plummer” (white tape w/ ink label)
I am getting “Madeline and the Gypsies” on VHS as much as “Madeline at the Ballet”
Agreed; I think the bumpers would've been a bit too "childish" for the He-Man stories.
Also, as for the two inbetween bumpers with that mysterious blonde girl, those were only used on 4 tapes as far as I'm aware: Poky Little Puppy's Favorite Stories, Scuffy the Tugboat and Friends, The Gingerbread Man and Other Nursery Stories, and Peter Rabbit & Other Tales.
The mysterious blonde girl later became Blue Falcon's "other" girlfriend, Duffy.
Also from the 8 volumes of “My Little Pony” G1.
0:16-0:30 was seen at the start of alexander and the terrible horrible no good very bad day and 0:51-0:54 was seen at the end of that same show
This is the end of this epiiisode of GOLDEN BOOOOOOOOK VIDEO KILLLEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRS!
I definitely remembered all of these logos!!! Thanks for posting these up!!!!

Now I have all 7 of my “My Little Pony” VHS tapes and they all have the same logo which was the second one at 0:16.
0:51 Aw nuts! This one does not have the space logo at all! What a ripoff!
I Saw It On The 1986 Releases Of Get Ready To Read And The First Easter Rabbit
And so does the “My Little Pony” G1 VHS tapes with all eight volumes separately.
Is the second music a PAL variant of the first? It does kinda sound like it is and it's the music I remember from the tapes I had here in Australia when I was a kid (not sure if I've still got them).
Nostalgic! I love how this sounds ❤.
Step Brother and Step Sister Home Video
Also, "Get Ready For Math" has no logo at the end.
0:15 From Baby Songs Christmas 1990
0:16 is that's a ChugaTV Ident?
1:03 Spinning Around Like Top
Standard Golden books At 0:57
I hated the closing logo at 0:51. I remembered that my Kindergarten teacher always had us watch these Golden Book Video tapes.

Here's Another Closing Varient:
On Some 1986 Realeses The Full Logo Plays At The End Execpt Silent
First time I've seen the "GoldenVision" logo.
1:03 Spinning Around
Out of all the music used for this logo, the second music from Golden Book Video sounded familiar, but it reminds me of other music from the Centerpoint logo. th-cam.com/video/LQ2HypsJBa0/w-d-xo.html
1:04 Air It Up Plane
1:12 Space Out
0:32 Golden Books Video
Scare Factors:
Original Variant: Somewhat great music and animation! Ranges low.
GoldenVision Variant: Still fine, but ranges from low to medium.
Silent, Zooming, and Spinning variants: OMG! This should be ranked high! And the last one is...
Closing Variant: SUPER OMG! THIS IS SO NIGHTMARE INDUCING! YOU SHOULD CHECK IT OUT, ITS SO SCARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Insert jontron image here
Closing Variant: None. It's just a scenic vapourwavey logo. Plus, it reminds me of the opening to Superman: The Movie (with the camera in space.)
1st & 3rd have the best music
Childhood!
0:57 Screen It Glow
Which one is the second one
The second one is the same logo with a different music which was the modified version of “Prestige Logo (A)”. The first one was done by the KPM Music Library.
0:38 Polka Party
My favorite is 1:10.
Careful, Daffy Duck is obsessed with it in Golden Book Video Killers.
The last one isn’t scary at all, it’s a space variant.
