Logo: In blackness, we see "MONARCH" in a fancy, thick blue font flip up and down toward the center of the screen. Once in place, a yellow line draws itself under and "HOME VIDEO" appears underneath the line.

FX/SFX: The text spinning/appearing, the line drawing.

Music/Sounds: Synth whooshes for "MONARCH" and the yellow line, with a deep hum/rumble.

Availability: Seen on VHS tapes from the company like Wishman, The Phone Call, The Refrigerator, Demon Warrior and Double Identity, among others.

Editor's Note: None.



2nd Logo
(Late 90s-2000's)



Logo: We start on a blue background, which appears to be a zooming oval with golden crown inside. It zooms into the cloudy sky background, and "MONARCH" fades below starting from the left.

FX/SFX: The zooming and name wiping.

Music/Sounds: Wind chimes followed by single trumpet note.

Availability: Very rare. Was seen on VHS and DVDs of little-known films, such as Merlin's Shop of Mystical Wonders, which are hard to find now.

Editor's Note: None.



3rd Logo
(2000s-Current)



Logo: A blue oval banner zooms in rotating over a waving dark blue background. The oval, depicting a cut-out crown, stops at the center and the name "MONARCH" fades in below, extending until it fades back off, and the whole logo fades soon.

FX/SFX: The animation.

Music/Sounds: Apparently none.

Availability: Current. It was seen on a DVD of Few Options, released in 2012.

Editor's Note: None.
