Logo: On a black background, rays of white light zoom from the bottom of the screen, expanding as they ascend. during this time the background fades from black to sky blue, revealing that some of the rays are black. the rays finish ascending and form into the Arts Magic logo, which looks like a joker card but with "Arts" and "MagiC" written on the top left and bottom right of the card.
FX/SFX: The rays of light.
Music/Sounds: An ascending sparkle/twinkle tune is heard while the black and white rays ascend from the bottom of the screen, and a strange Roland TB-303-styled bass note is held down as the Arts Magic logo is formed.
Availability: Seen on VHS releases of Titans of Steam, Classic Trains, A Feast of Steam and Strange Trains, Japanese Dubbed Anime with English Subtitles (completely unknown), among other specialty movies.

2nd Logo
(Late 1990s)
_
Logo: On a black background, we see an array of different colours taking up the bottom half of the screen. This array of colours begins to shrink into a portrait shape and reveals itself to be the symbol from the first logo. Whilst this is going on, the word "ARTSMAGIC" in a medieval font zooms in from the centre of the screen and spins around before coming to a rest near the top of the screen. The Artsmagic symbol turns upwards to face the viewer.
_
Variant: On some tapes, the company's web address fades in at the bottom of the screen after the logo's form-up.
_
FX/SFX: TBA.
_
Music/Sounds: A bombastic fake orchestral fanfare.
_
Availability: Was seen on Artsmagic's prints of A Lineside Look at Model Railways and Another Lineside Look at Model Railways.
_
Editor's Note: TBA..
