Sony distributed their films on video, and following the company's closure in 2001 as a result of several box office flops, Sony revived Destination in 2002 as a label of Sony Pictures Home Entertainment, Destination sometimes co-releases films with [[Sony Pictures Classics]], [[Samuel Goldwyn Films]], and [[Triumph Films]]. Destination's film library includes independent films, art-house films, and a few anime titles such as ''Tekkonkinkreet'', ''Cowboy Bebop: The Movie'', and ''Metropolis''. Currently, it is a label of Sony Pictures Worldwide Acquisitions since 2007. | ||

'''Availability:''' | '''Availability:''' Common. It appears on several films Destination released, such as ''Bats'', ''Drowning Mona'', ''Thomas and the Magic Railroad'', ''Metropolis'', ''Buying the Cow'', ''Steamboy'', ''Eye of the Beholder'', ''Tokyo Godfathers'', ''MirrorMask'', and most recently, ''Accident Man'' (2018). This strangely doesn't appear on ''Brothers in Arms'' (2005), despite the opening credits mentioning them. The Sony Pictures Home Entertainment logo appears instead. | ||
'''Editor's Note:''' | '''Editor's Note:''' This logo has a very unique design atypical of the usual aesthetics found in Sony's logos, and still holds up well today. The only downside is that this logo doesn't seem to have a fully digital print of it in existence, as even on recent films with this logo it has film scratches and other artifacts that stick out when shown next to logos that clearly use digital sources. | ||
