Cheesy Factor : The Pegasus looks like it was pasted on top of the background for the Columbia logo.

 * VHS (and early VCDs and DVDs): Composed by Machine Head of Venice, California, the clicking noise comes first, then a wonderful, majestic synthesized fanfare with horns playing throughout the logo. Also, it would be interesting to note that this variant of the logo used to be one of the longest, clocking in at nearly 20 seconds, until others such as The ABM Group, Hendring Limited and Photo-Video were discovered.
 * DVD (and later VCDs and VHS): A shorter acoustic guitar tune that rises into a triumphant theme with bells, strings, and a small chorus. The animation plays slightly quicker here.

Scare Factor : None.
