'''Availability:''' Extremely rare; seen on tapes of ''Steve Allen’s Music Hall'', early ''Hopalong Cassidy'' tapes such as ''Silent Conflict'' and ''The Marauder'', and classic films issued by the company under the "50s THEATRE" banner. These tapes were packaged in the same white clamshells as tapes from Walt Disney Home Video. This was also seen on the 1985 VHS release of the cult comedy film ''Midnight Madness'' (produced by Disney, but without their name) and early compilations of ''The Ray Bradbury Theater'' (later releases of that show came from HBO Video and were reprinted in turn by Congress Video).

'''Legacy:''' Like the first [[Touchstone Home Entertainment|Touchstone Home Video]] logo, this logo was likely meant as a placeholder. Both logos also share the same color scheme.

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

'''Legacy:''' The theme and dark atmosphere may surprise some expecting the 1990 logo.

'''Logo:''' On a {{color|deepskyblue|sea blue}} CGI background, a {{color|silver|silver}} stylized "V" zooms out from a right angle, which turns out to be part of the text "'''{{color|silver|{{Font|Times New Roman|Buena Vista Home Video}}}}'''". The logo settles on the background and "shines".

'''FX/SFX:''' The shining, the words revealing, the animated background. Nice, if somewhat basic, CGI.

'''Logo:''' On a very shady {{color|darkblue|dark blue}} gradient background, we see a {{color|blue}} 3D segmented Sleeping Beauty Castle at an angle shining, and emitting rays of light. The castle flies in and turns to face us. As this happens, the text "{{color|silver|{{Font|Times New Roman|Buena Vista Home Video}}}}" in Times New Roman font appears in {{color|silver|silver}} aligned with the castle, and thus also flies in. An arch flies in and places itself over the castle and the text stops at the bottom of the screen. The words shine.
