Columbia TriStar Home Video - Take Hollywood Home!

boxes tilts to face the screen. The 3-D words "COLUMBIA TRISTAR" and "HOME VIDEO" in gold fade in above and below the boxes, respectively with a shining wipe effect.

Trailer Variants: Many times, the boxes would then slide away, the CTHV text would fade out, and one of the following phrases, in script, would zoom in from the center of the logo:

* Coming Soon to a Theater Near You
* Coming Soon to Home Video
* Now Available on Home Video

Afterwards, a trailer with one of the following features would be played.

Variants:

* There is a shorter version that doesn't feature a clip-on.
* An extremely rare variant exists where there are blue bars featuring small CTHV print logos on both sides of the logo. This version is seen on early DVDs and widescreen edition Laserdiscs and VHS.

FX/SFX: Simple but nice animation.

Music/Sounds: Same as above, but the singing trio is less jolly.

Music/Sounds Variants:

* On some trailers like both versions of the Family Collection trailer, the exact same music from the last logos are used.
* On the trailer variants of this logo, a 6-note piano jingle is added at the beginning.
* The 2nd version of the Family Collection trailer has a version similar to the one mentioned above, except the piano jingle is shortened to the last 4 notes.
* A silent version of the trailer variants appears on the 1997 demo VHS of The Devil's Own.

Availability: Rare. It was used for only 2 years. Sometimes it was alternated with the 1993 blue background logo, so as always, keep your eye out.
