*In 1992, starting with ''101 Dalmatians'', the logo gained brighter colors with the diamond in bright blueish-violet (possibly due to deterioration of the master), and the logo fades out earlier than before. The logo would cut in at different times (up to a second later than usual) on all 1992 releases.

*The original 1988 prototype version, first seen on ''Cinderella'' (retail copies only, demo tapes had the previous logo), had the background as a dark to light blue gradient, a more shiny, silver, metallic diamond, and rougher animation; this variant was also filmed, compared to the standard logo being videotaped. The logo made sporadic reappearances after the revised logo was introduced, primarily on tapes from the Classics line that don’t contain previews; thee include the 1992 Laserdisc and demo/French Canadian VHS prints of ''The Rescuers'', the later Canadian print of ''The Rescuers Down Under'', a 1992 Descriptive Video Service VHS of ''Dumbo'', the later Canadian/USA print of ''Robin Hood'', the French Canadian VHS releases of ''Bambi'', ''101 Dalmatians'' and ''The Great Mouse Detective'' and the demo/French Canadian VHS copies of ''Beauty and the Beast''. It also appears at the beginning of the VHS ''Fantasia: The Making of a Masterpiece'' (which was included as part of a "Deluxe Collectors' Edition" box set of the movie). In most cases, the logo is off-center, with the diamond positioned further to the right, while ''Cinderella'' had the diamond centered properly. One of the last, if not the last, videos to feature this version of the logo was the 1993 French-Canadian VHS release of ''Pinocchio''.

*On the 1991 video releases of ''Robin Hood'' and ''The Brave Little Toaster'', the Mickey scene is cut, and the logo starts off with the spark writing the words. On both tapes, this version is shown before a preview for ''The Jungle Book'' and is accompanied by Brian Cummings saying, "Look for these animated Disney classics on videocassette." On the Robin Hood VHS, the same variant appears again before the film begins, but without the voiceover.

*On the 1991 VHS release of ''The Rescuers Down Under'', just the end of the logo (with the pixie dust trail leaving) is shown without music before the ''The Jungle Book'' trailer. Brian Cummings is heard over it, announcing "Don't miss this timeless Disney classic from Walt Disney Home Video."
