*On <u>1992 VHS releases</u>, 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; in addition, 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.

*On a <u>trailer for ''The Great Mouse Detective'' seen on the 1992 VHS releases of ''So Dear to My Heart'' and ''The Rescuers''</u>, a shortened version of the 1992 variant that starts as magic comet flies around the diamond and the pixie dust leaves is seen before the start of the trailer, with Mark Elliot announcing "From Walt Disney Home Video!" over it. The closing credits music from ''The Great Mouse Detective'' plays over this version of the logo, as well as the trailer. UK releases with this trailer feature the 1992 distorted variant playing at the beginning, with the Mickey scene cut. After the comet flies around the logo, a British announcer says, "From Walt Disney Home Video!" and the rest of the trailer continues. This version of the trailer appears on the 1992 UK VHS releases of ''The Prince and the Pauper'' and ''Robin Hood''. However, certain UK versions of the trailer (like the 1992 UK VHS of ''Cinderella'') replaced the Classics logo with the tail end of the 1986 Walt Disney Home Video logo.

* A series of Japanese tapes released by Bandai Video on July 10, 1988 (under the then-new "Dreams and Magic" banner) use a still variant for a closing promo featuring the diamond reading "THE CLASSICS" on an animated starry sky with a thicker, more glass-like frame. This can be found on the 1988 Japanese VHS releases of ''Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day'', ''Pinocchio'', ''Mary Poppins'', and three cartoon compilations dedicated to Mickey ("Good Luck Mickey"), Donald, and various characters ("Disney Friends") respectively. The music that accompanies the closing promo is the "Spoonful of Sugar" portion of the ''Mary Poppins'' main title overture. An animated variant featuring the logo flying onto the screen and shining was featured at the beginning of the ''Pinocchio'' VHS.
