'''Availability:''' Rare, as it was only used for a short period of time. Seen on 1984-1987 VHS and LaserDisc prints of Disney animated features, including the original video releases of ''Pinocchio'' and ''Robin Hood''. Tapes that have this logo are usually in clamshell packaging (originally in big, black, heavy clamshells with the artwork printed directly onto the case, but switching over to lightweight, white clamshells in 1986), with the cover featuring a black flap on the lower right corner reading "The Original Animated Classic!". The last video to officially use this logo was the 1987 VHS of the ''Lady and the Tramp''. This logo has also been spotted on some post-1987 prints, including a 1993 reprint of ''The Sword in the Stone'', and the 1988 demo VHS of ''Cinderella''. On black clamshell tapes of ''Dumbo'', as well as very early prints of the black clamshell release of ''The Sword in the Stone'' and earlier prints of the mid-1986 slipcover release of ''Alice in Wonderland'', the 1981 WDHV Neon Mickey logo is seen (the latter had the 1984 Classics logo replace the Neon Mickey logo on prints from circa late April 1986). Although the logo is seen on the cover, Australian releases do not use this logo; they use the 1986 "Sorcerer Mickey" logo or the 6th logo. | '''Availability:''' Rare, as it was only used for a short period of time.

''' | '''Legacy:''' A very primitive logo with cheesy computer effects, but an endearing logo regardless. "THE CLASSICS" and the outline around the diamond are photographed and chroma-keyed from real neon signs, and the print logo was even turned into a real sign to display in stores. | ||

* The 1988 version made an appearance on a DVS VHS of ''Mary Poppins'', which was most likely an error since, as a (mostly) live-action film, it was never officially considered part of the Classics line. | * The 1988 version made an appearance on a DVS VHS of ''Mary Poppins'', which was most likely an error since, as a (mostly) live-action film, it was never officially considered part of the Classics line. | ||
''' | '''Legacy:''' A very well-made and professional logo that's a nostalgic favorite among many true Disney fans and VHS, Betamax, LaserDisc, DVD, Mini DVD, HD-DVD and Blu-ray collectors. | ||
