'''Availability:''' Common. Was seen on several films from the studio such as ''Arachnophobia'' (the first film from the studio and the first film with this logo), ''Tombstone'', ''Nixon'', ''Evita'', ''Just Visiting'', ''Stay Alive'', ''Super Mario Bros.'', ''Grosse Pointe Blank'', ''An American Werewolf in Paris'' and ''The Sixth Sense''. Don't expect this on ''The Santa Clause'', as even though it was credited on the film (and was, in fact, originally going to be released under the banner before it was later shifted to the mainline Walt Disney Pictures banner), the logo itself doesn't appear (though the [[Hollywood Pictures Home Entertainment|home entertainment]] print logo shows up on the UK VHS cover). Also appears at the beginning of a UK VHS print of ''Scream 3''.

'''Legacy:''' This logo is one of Disney's "black sheep" logos. Some have argued that the Sphinx, a symbol of Egypt, seems questionable for logo for a company called Hollywood Pictures. Others have argued that there's not much animation in this logo. About the only thing agreed on regarding this logo is that the fanfare is very nice.

'''Trivia:''' This logo was made to fit in with its appearance on a TV spot for the ''Super Mario Bros.'' movie, which utilized red lines and the same font on the names of cast members.

'''Legacy:''' Some believe this is more true to the company name than the previous logo, though it could be argued that this logo is too simple and the last one put in a little more effort. It doesn't help that it was a one-off logo used only on a commercial.
