*On 1992 VHS releases, starting with ''101 Dalmatians'', the logo gained brighter colors with the text "WALT DiSNEY CLASSICS" in light blue and the diamond in bright blueish-violet 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. | *On 1992 VHS releases, starting with ''101 Dalmatians'', the logo gained brighter colors with the text "WALT DiSNEY CLASSICS" in light blue and the diamond in bright blueish-violet due to deterioration of the master, the comet is now thinner, the tint on the diamond's edges is now purple again 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 prototype version, originally seen on the 1988 retail VHS of ''Cinderella'', had the background as a dark to light blue gradient, a more shiny, silver, metallic diamond, the text "WALT DiSNEY CLASSICS" had a purple scheme 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 on tapes from the Classics line that didn't open with previews; these 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 (DVS) VHS of ''Dumbo'', the later Canadian/USA print of ''Robin Hood'', the French Canadian VHS releases of ''Pinocchio, 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 DVS VHS release of ''Aladdin''. | *The prototype version, originally seen on the 1988 retail VHS of ''Cinderella'', had the background as a dark to light blue gradient, a more shiny, silver, metallic diamond, the text "WALT DiSNEY CLASSICS" had a purple color scheme and rougher animation; this variant was also filmed, compared to the standard logo being videotaped.

*On the 1991 VHS 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 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 the 1991 VHS release of ''The Rescuers Down Under'', just the end of the logo (with the magic comet flying around the diamond and the pixie dust trail leaving) is shown without music before the ''The Jungle Book'' trailer. Brian Cummings announces "Don't miss this timeless Disney classic, from Walt Disney Home Video." as the logo animation plays. | *On the 1991 VHS release of ''The Rescuers Down Under'', just the end of the logo (with the magic comet flying around the diamond and the pixie dust trail leaving) is shown without music before the ''The Jungle Book'' trailer.

*Starting with the 1992 VHS release of ''The Rescuers'', the music became distorted and heavier on bass due to deterioration of the master recording. Crackling sounds can be heard in background at the beginning of the logo when Mickey Mouse (dressed as the Sorcerer's Apprentice) shows up and the camera zooms up to his hand | *Starting with the 1992 VHS release of ''The Rescuers'', the music became distorted and heavier on bass due to deterioration of the master recording. Crackling sounds can be heard in background at the beginning of the logo when Mickey Mouse (dressed as the Sorcerer's Apprentice) shows up and the camera zooms up to his hand, rumbling sounds can be heard underneath as the spark writes the words "WALT DiSNEY", kettledrums can be heard in the background as the words "WALT DiSNEY" and "CLASSICS" settle on the diamond, a synth-bass note can be heard underneath as the comet flies around the diamond and purring sounds can be heard underneath at the end of the logo until it fades to black. This variant would later be heard under the Walt Disney Company Intro on several VHS releases from 1999-2000, as Beau Weaver says, "You can always count on something new and exciting from Disney". | ||
*On the 1992 DVS VHS of ''Dumbo'', a woman is heard saying "Now in animation, a figure appears. Mickey Mouse, wearing his red sorcerer's robe and tall blue pointed hat, stands with his left arm extended. A star shoots up from his palm, writing a signature and the logo 'Walt Disney Classics'." | *On the 1992 DVS VHS of ''Dumbo'', a woman is heard saying "Now in animation, a figure appears.
