* On later releases, the logo is placed on a blue/black gradient background and is colored in a metallic silver. The entire thing is also surrounded in a silver border, leaving a shadow on the bottom right. | * On later releases, the logo is placed on a blue/black gradient background and is colored in a metallic silver.

'''Logo:''' On a black background, the word "CRITERION" in red flips to the left and stop in place at an angle. As this happens, a gray background which has several titles of Criterion releases, sliding to the left, fades in. | '''Logo:''' On a black background, the word "CRITERION" in red flips to the left and stop in place at an angle.

'''Logo:''' On a scratched metal background, a laserdisc appears and spins while zooming out, being partially transparent. As it collides with the background, the whole logo flashes, revealing an engraving of the Criterion logo (which glows for a bit before dying down) and a warped red object. The object then unfolds itself out into the word "CRITERION" in red with a white shadow. | '''Logo:''' On a scratched metal background, a laserdisc appears and spins while zooming out, being partially transparent.

* A special variant exists on the laserdisc and the 3-disc box set of ''Brazil''. We start off zooming into a wall of drawer cabinets on the right, poorly illuminated by overhanging lights. As the camera rotates into them, a single one opens up, revealing a TV tube suspended inside it displaying a black Criterion Collection logo on a white background, and the camera pans to show it straight on. The image constantly moves. | * A special variant exists on the laserdisc and the 3-disc box set of ''Brazil''.

'''Logo:''' On a black background, the white text "THE CRITERION COLLECTION" is seen. Below the text, a white line wipes in from left to right which causes the logo to slowly shine as well. | '''Logo:''' On a black background, the white text "THE CRITERION COLLECTION" is seen.

'''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.
