*December 11, 1991-October 16, 1992: The closing variant of the still logo from the movie trailers and the 1991 TriStar Television logo, minus the "{{font|Times New Roman|'''TELEVISION'''}}" rectangular box below "{{font|Times New Roman|'''STAR'''}}" nor "{{font|Times New Roman|'''PICTURES'''}}" below the triangle with the phrase "A TRISTAR RELEASE", minus the hyphen between the TriStar name seen above the logo. Sometimes, the rectangular box is seen below the logo, but it lacks the "{{font|Times New Roman|'''TELEVISION'''}}" text inside it. Starting in late 1992, there is a new version with "{{font|Times New Roman|'''RELEASED BY'''}}" above the logo and the rectangular box has a Sony Pictures Entertainment byline. This was seen on ''Wind'' and ''Candyman''. | *December 11, 1991-October 16, 1992: The closing variant of the still logo from the movie trailers and the 1991 TriStar Television logo, minus the "{{font|Times New Roman|'''TELEVISION'''}}" rectangular box below "{{font|Times New Roman|'''STAR'''}}" nor "{{font|Times New Roman|'''PICTURES'''}}" below the triangle with the phrase "A TRISTAR RELEASE", minus the hyphen between the TriStar name seen above the logo.

'''FX/SFX:''' The wings growing on the horse, the forming of the "T", and the text zooming out.

*On some films, such as ''Birdy'', ''Candyman'', ''The Muppets Take Manhattan'' (the Columbia/TriStar DVD has the fanfare while the Hulu print and CTHV VHS print are silent), a recent [[Turner Classic Movies]] (TCM) broadcast of ''Places in the Heart'' (also on the Columbia/TriStar DVD of said film), and the original theatrical release and some streaming prints of the theatrical version of ''Terminator 2: Judgment Day'' (save for the Director's Cut), among others, the logo is silent. | *On some films, such as ''Birdy'', ''Candyman'', ''The Muppets Take Manhattan'' (the [[Sony Pictures Home Entertainment|Columbia/TriStar]] DVD has the fanfare while the Hulu print and CTHV VHS print are silent), a recent [[Turner Classic Movies]] (TCM) broadcast of ''Places in the Heart'' (also on the Columbia/TriStar DVD of said film), and the original theatrical release and some streaming prints of the theatrical version of ''Terminator 2: Judgment Day'' (save for the Director's Cut), among others, the logo is silent. | ||

*On some prints of ''Rambo: First Blood Part II'' (beginning with the 2002 Artisan VHS and DVD release) and other Carolco films, the Carolco theme is heard (one TV airing of the movie had the high-tone version of the theme). This also appeared on a 1995 Australian television broadcast of ''Iron Eagle II'' (with the 1988 theme). This is likely due to poor plastering. The original domestic print had the standard TriStar fanfare, as this was the version used on HBO early on, starting in 1986. | *On some prints of ''Rambo: First Blood Part II'' (beginning with the 2002 Artisan VHS and DVD release) and other Carolco films, the Carolco theme is heard (one TV airing of the movie had the high-tone version of the theme).
