* There is another trailer tape variant, where we see "Showcase 91" alongside the [[Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment|Disney Home Video]], [[Touchstone Home Entertainment|Touchstone Home Video]] and [[Hollywood Pictures]] logos. At the end of the trailer tape, we see the logos again, but this time the text "Showcase 91" is gone and is replaced with a diamond. The other logos and the diamond fade out, leaving the Buena Vista Home Video logo on the top. The text lines, "The No.1 Box Office Success Story of 1990..." and "Will be the Video Success Story of 1991" fade in.

'''Availability:''' Uncommon. In the US, this logo was sporadically used; overseas it was seen a bit more often.
'''Availability:'''  
* In the US, this logo was rarely used. One of the first releases to use this logo was the original VHS release of ''Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead'' from 1990. Other releases that have this include ''Cartoon All-Stars to the Rescue'', the 1995 VHS of ''Attack of the Killer Tomatoes,'' all 4 volumes of ''The Johnny Carson Collection: His Favorite Moments From the Tonight Show'', and Andrew Solt-directed compilations like the first two volumes of ''Elvis: The Great Performances''. The logo made its last regular appearance on the 1998 VHS release of ''Mummies Alive!: The Legend Begins''.
* In North America, this logo is Rare, as it wasn't used much.
* This also appears on British VHS reissues of ex-Fox Kids shows, like ''Digimon'' and the CGI ''Action Man'' series. This was also used on Latin American and European French VHS releases of DIC's ''Action Man'' series.
** One of the first releases to use this logo was the original VHS release of ''Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead'' from 1990.
* The logo made a surprise appearance after the end credits of ''Disney's Doug'' and ''Quack Pack'' video releases released in 1997. On the latter releases, the music continues over the following [[Disney-ABC Home Entertainment and Television Distribution|Buena Vista Television]] logo.
** Other releases that have this include ''Cartoon All-Stars to the Rescue'', the 1995 VHS of ''Attack of the Killer Tomatoes,'' all 4 volumes of ''The Johnny Carson Collection: His Favorite Moments From the Tonight Show'', and Andrew Solt-directed compilations like the first two volumes of ''Elvis: The Great Performances''.
* In August 2002, the logo made a comeback on the DVD releases of ''The Adventures of Tom Thumb & Thumbelina'' (paired up with the 1999 [[Miramax Home Entertainment]] logo) and the ''Schoolhouse Rock Special 30th Anniversary Edition'' DVD set; the VHS counterparts of both used the 6th logo in its place. Other DVDs released by Buena Vista Home Entertainment in 2002 would use the 5th logo: starting in 2003, they shifted to using only the 6th or 7th logo.
** Some ''Alvin and the Chipmunks'' and ''Rocky and Bullwinkle'' releases use this logo, but they mostly use the 6th logo instead.
* In another odd case, this logo can also be found on DVD compilations of the ''Timon and Pumbaa'' TV series, such as ''On Holiday With Timon & Pumbaa'' and ''Around the World With Timon & Pumbaa'', at the end of the credits in place of the [[Walt Disney Television]] logo with the end of the closing theme playing over it. This is most likely because the DVDs are re-releases of compilations previously released on VHS, and as such recycle prints from those releases.
** The trailer tape variants come from promotional tapes/trailer tapes on YouTube.
* The "HOME ENTERTAINMENT" variant appeared on some PAL VHS releases like the ''Legend of Tarzan'' TV series and some ''Power Rangers'' releases.
** This logo was also seen on a trailer for the VHS release of ''Kiki's Delivery Service'', which can be seen on 1998 prints of [[Walt Disney Masterpiece Collection|Masterpiece Collection]] titles like ''Dumbo'' and ''The Sword in the Stone''. Other prints of the trailer (and the VHS release itself) use the 5th logo instead.
* In July 21, 2017, the Home Video logo made a surprise appearance at the beginning of the faux-'80s parody online commercial for the home video release of ''Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2'', advertising the 4K Ultra HD/Blu-ray/DVD release of the film, filmed as a tongue-in-cheek 1980's infomercial.
** The logo made its last regular appearance on the 1998 VHS release of ''Mummies Alive!: The Legend Begins'', preceding the 1994 [[DIC Home Entertainment|DIC Toon-Time Video]] logo.
* The trailer tape variants come from promotional tapes/trailer tapes on YouTube.
** In August 2002, the logo made a comeback on the DVD releases of ''The Adventures of Tom Thumb & Thumbelina'' (paired up with the 1999 [[Miramax Home Entertainment]] logo) and the ''Schoolhouse Rock Special 30th Anniversary Edition'' DVD set; the VHS counterparts of both used the 6th logo in its place.

*Surprisingly, this can be seen at the start of the 1995 UK demo VHS of ''The Air Up There'' (a [[Hollywood Pictures]] film).  
* Internationally, the logo is much more common, especially in the UK, where this logo remained in use well into the early-2000's.
** It appears on a few releases from [[DIC Entertainment]] outside North America, like Latin American and European French VHS releases of the company's ''Action Man'' series, and might have appeared on the Australian VHS release of ''Jingle Bell Rock'' as well.
** It replaces the [[20th Century Fox Home Entertainment]] logo on tapes of ex-Fox Kids shows that the former originally released, like ''Digimon'' and the CGI ''Action Man'' series.
** The "HOME ENTERTAINMENT" variant was exclusively used in European territories from 2001-2002, appearing on releases of ''The Legend of Tarzan'' and ''Power Rangers Wild Force''.
** Surprisingly, this can be seen at the start of the 1995 UK demo VHS of ''The Air Up There'' (a [[Hollywood Pictures]] film).  


'''Editor's Note:''' A logo with simple animation, and a surprisingly cheerful tune for a logo with a dark color scheme.
