Opening logo used on Image Entertainment laserdiscs from 1989 til the end of the format. Some of the company's first DVDs also used this opening. Sound is in boring old mono since YouTube has ONCE AGAIN made it harder to put up stereo audio, so those quality-minded can watch this on Stage6Divx or download from Google Video.
@lovemylogics Well, there were alot of porn LD releases in Japan too. Interestingly, when Image began using 3M so extensively they tried to get 3M to press their porn releases, but 3M refused. So image had to use Pioneer and Technidisc quite a bit.
STAY AWESOME! :)

The original IMAGE ENTERTAINMENT opening used an extended version of the Miracle Films music. The owners of IMAGE were all part of Miracle Films and IMAGE always tried to downplay their porn industry connections... especially once they became an exclusive licensee for Disney LaserDisc's. But, they never abandoned their roots - they released all the X-rated LD's and still own an X-rated label (I-Candy) for DVD releases.

I see this all the time with old Image distributed anime LDs. Great company, but it seems that they would distribute anything on LD for a quick buck.

The opening they've had since around 1999-2000 is silent.

Image still releases DVDs today. Whenever I go rent movies I see 4 or 5 new ones from them. Maybe I'll rent one and see if they still use this logo.

I guess their adhesive was more durable?

Uh, my 1994 copy of "Dumb and Dumber" on LaserDisc has this opening, as does my 1993 copy of "Explorer Woman Ray" and my 1994 copy of "Gall Force: Earth Chapter 1."
Image distributed stuff on LaserDisc for many companies, such as New Line Cinema (responsible for the first title listed in this post) and Central Park Media (responsible for the last two titles listed in this post).

Common misconception... DVDs where meant to replace Laserdisc, and they did, which is why Laserdisc died out shortly after DVDs debuted on the market. People still wanted a way to record their tv shows, and since Laserdisc never offered one, VHS stuck around. Only until DVD recorders became cheap and plentiful did the death nell finally toll for the aging VHS format.
