===Background===  

* Some appearances of this logo have it fade out before the Buena Vista Television text fades in.

* There is a completely still variation where the background is black, and everything but the text is gone. The text does not cross-fade either. This was used on the 1995 made-for-TV remake of ''Escape to Witch Mountain''.

'''FX/SFX:''' Primitive computer animation.

'''Music/Sounds:''' A series of ascending pings. There was also a variant where it used different-sounding pings (sounding like a super high-pitched version of the theme), the 1985 synth theme or the 1988 long and warp-speed themes from the previous logo (both likely due to plastering jobs), the closing theme of the show as was the case of most shows (such as ''Raw Toonage'', ''Marsupilami'', and other Disney shows, starting in 1988), or none as was the case with the DVD's and Disney+ prints of ''Disney's Adventures of the Gummi Bears''.

'''Availability:''' Rare, despite being used for 14 years. However, this is also becoming easier to find in more recent years.

* This and the Buena Vista International TV logo, followed the [[ABC Studios|Touchstone Television]] logo on the ''Home Improvement'' season 2 episode "I'm Scheming of a White Christmas", and the ''Boy Meets World'' season 5 episode "Heartbreak Cory", both can be seen on their DVD releases.

* TVP1 airings of ''Sidekicks'' also used this logo.

'''Legacy:''' This logo is remembered fondly by those who grew up with the Disney Afternoon.

'''Nicknames:''' "Sixty Years of Mickey with You", "Happy Birthday, Mickey!"

'''Logo:''' On a {{Font color|#FFD900|yellow}} background with {{Font color|pink|pink}} Mickey silhouette patterns, we see Mickey, in a tuxedo, stand on a {{Font color|blue|blue}} filmstrip with ''Steamboat Willie'' in it, over a {{Font color|hotpink|pink}} circle with the words "{{Font|Times New Roman|'''SIXTY YEARS WITH YOU'''}}" in it. A {{Font color|limegreen|green}} banner is behind him reading "'''MICKEY'''". Underneath is the blue text "{{Font color|#2E8CFF|WALT DiSNEY {{Font|Times New Roman|Television}}}}", with "{{Font color|#2E8CFF|WALT DiSNEY}}" in the corporate "Disney" font. Mickey then winks and then blinks his eyes twice.

'''Variants:'''

* A short version (without "{{Font color|#2E8CFF|WALT DiSNEY {{Font|Times New Roman|Television}}}}") exists that starts with Mickey just about to pose with the text on the circle and banner starting to fade in.

* An even longer version appeared at the end of the 1988 Disney video ''Mickey's Magical World''. See [[Mickey: Sixty Years with You]] for more details.

'''FX/SFX:''' Cel animation.

'''Music/Sounds:''' The 1987 theme from the 2nd logo or the closing theme of the show.

'''Availability:''' Extinct.

===5th Logo (1990-1997, 1998)===

'''Logo:''' On a black background, we see the castle as in the 3rd logo with the 3-D words "{{Font|Times New Roman|'''{{Font color|#4181F0|Walt Disney Television}}'''}}" (now with "{{Font|Times New Roman|'''{{Font color|#4181F0|Walt Disney}}'''}}" in the same Times New Roman Bold font as "{{Font|Times New Roman|'''{{Font color|#4181F0|Television}}'''}}") below it. A spark draws the circular line, but this time from left to right. As the line draws itself, the flags appear one by one on top of the castle. The words below fade to the Buena Vista Television text.

'''Variant:''' A still version was used on the 1996-97 season of ''The Disney Afternoon'', this faded into the 1995 and the 1997 Buena Vista Television logo.

'''FX/SFX:''' Computer animation done by Flip Your Lid Animation.

'''Music/Sounds:''' Ping music, but in most cases, it's silent or the finishing of the end title theme from any show plays over the logo.

'''Availability:''' Very rare.

'''Nickname:''' "Goofy Filmstrip"

'''Logo:''' Against a white background, we see Goofy appear upside down from the top-left corner with a quizzical look on his face. As his expression changes from a confused one to an excited one, the logo zooms out to reveal it's on a white filmstrip, superimposed on a {{Font color|#0037DE|shaded blue}} gradient background decorated with black drawings of the typical castle. The text "WALT DiSNEY {{Font|Times New Roman|Television}}" (with "WALT DiSNEY" in its corporate font) can be seen below the white filmstrip, then after a few seconds it changes to the "{{Font|Times New Roman|Distributed By Buena Vista Television}}" text.
