'''Availability:''' Rare, as this only appears on Laserdisc releases. Look for the Criterion heading on the sleeve for this logo. Examples include ''Akira'', ''The Killer'', ''Citizen Kane'' (the very first Criterion release, it so happens, along with ''King Kong''), and ''Hard Boiled'', among others. This was strangely seen on the 1999 DVD of ''Fishing With John'' by going through the disc's VOB files (the 4th logo only appears during normal playback). | '''Availability:''' Rare, as this only appears on Laserdisc releases.

'''Logo:''' On a black background, a ring made of several tones of grey spins around, with the shapes getting different shape sizes. As they spin, "THE CRITERION COLLECTION" in grey slides up on its side before entering the ring, turning black as it enters it. It curves along the top edge and then disappears under one of the layers. As the rings slows to a halt, the darkest grey section splits and all the sections slide into each other, forming the current logo (which is a "C" tilted at about a 45 degree angle) in a solid grey color. | '''Logo:''' On a black background, a ring made of several tones of grey spins around, with the shapes getting different shape sizes.

'''Music/Sounds:''' None; although it used a portion of the 1997 [[Universal Pictures|Universal]] fanfare at one point, due to goofy plastering. It does fit the logo, somehow. | '''Music/Sounds:''' None; although it used a portion of the 1997 [[Universal Pictures|Universal]] fanfare at one point, due to goofy plastering.
