Lorimar-Telepictures-Hoyts Video Pty. Ltd. (Australia)

 Background : This video company releases shows from Lorimar and Telepictures as well as some Hoyts movies. It also releases movies under the Lorimar name. The home video logo kept on going after Lorimar-Telepictures broke up and being folded into Hoyts - Warner  Video.

(1986-1993)

Nicknames:  "L-T", "Fireworks", "Crashing Comets"

Logo:  Same as the L-T Home Video logo, only "HOME VIDEO" is replaced by the Hoyts logo and "VIDEO PTY. LTD." pops out. Starting in 1991, a byline is seen below it.

Byline:  Below the logo, we see:
 * 1991-1992 A TIME WARNER COMPANY
 * 1992-1993 A TIME WARNER ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY

 Variants:


 * On Aussie PAL laserdisc releases, the animation is bit of sped-up.
 * On Aussie PAL videos that previews of Lorimar, Telepictures and Hotys catalog from 1989 to 1993, the glowish streak would be cut out. The words "ALSO AVAILABLE FROM" above it. The announcer saying "Also available from Lorimar-Telepictures-Hoyts Video Pty. Ltd." over the music. Then, home video promos of "Perfect Strangers", "Full House", "SilverHawks", "ThunderCats", "The Hogan Family", "Eight is Enough", "Bad Ronald", "Max Headroom", "The Allied Artists Film Collection", "American Anthem", "S.O.B.", "The Waltons", "Falcon Crest", "Two Moon Junction", "Power", "Missing in Action", " Mama's Family", "Knots Landing", "Dallas" and "Helter Skelter" play after. An announcer saying "And now your Lorimar-Telepictures-Hoyts Video collection" over the previews at the end of "Perfect Strangers" and "Full House" previews. After the previews, list of titles scroll up on the same background but with "ALSO AVAILABLE FROM LORIMAR-Telepictures-HOYTS VIDEO PTY LTD." under the previews. This was seen on the 1990 Aussie PAL VHS of "Big Shots".

FX/SFX:  Same as the COMETS logo.

Cheesy Factor:  Same as the COMETS logo, but an Hoyts and the text pops out.
