Vidamerica/UAV/Sterling Logo History (#71)

VidAmerica (short for Video Corporation of America, their owners) was a video distributor founded in 1979 as a video renting, subscription-based company. However, due to missing tapes cropping up each week of delivery, it was scrapped in 1980 as they became a specialty distributor, as well as providing blank tapes and tape services. They also distributed some United Artists movies in 1980. They also signed a pact with Vestron Video to distribute their tapes; These duties were later handed over to Vestron's offshoot label, Lightning Video. VidAmerica was then purchased in 1986 by a consortium controlled by billionaire investor Ronald O. Perelman (his holdings also included Revlon, Four Star, and New World Entertainment), but were made independent a few years later. VidAmerica collapsed in 1992 after Vestron Video filed for bankruptcy and their library was sold to United American Video Corporation, which lead to the formation of Sterling Entertainment Group.United American Video Corporation (also known as "UAV Corporation", "UAV Entertainment", or "United American Video") was founded in 1984. It was the longtime competitor of GoodTimes Entertainment, Anchor Bay Entertainment, Celebrity Home Entertainment, and many other sell-through discount home video companies. The company expanded beyond the public domain to include licenses for several major studios, and eventually launched UAV Gold and the UAV Silver lines, as well as Hep Cat Entertainment, Gemstone Entertainment and Ovation Home Video lines. UAV even had a brief tenure in Europe with the UAV Europe line, but it collapsed on the European public domain company crash in the early 1990s. In 1992, UAV purchased the assets of VidAmerica and created the new Sterling Entertainment Group label, which eventually became the standard by 1998. Sterling Entertainment Group was formed in 1992 by United American Video Corporation when it purchased several assets of defunct distributor VidAmerica. The Sterling line became UAV's core home video label by 1998, expanding rapidly into DVD releases. It later signed an agreement with DIC Home Entertainment to release home video titles in 2003. In 2006, amid the mid-to-late 2000s public domain DVD crash, it was merged by ContentFilm with Ardustry Home Entertainment to form Allumination Filmworks.
