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''.

'''Logo:''' On a black background with gold haze, we see a planet (presumably the Earth) orbiting around the sun. When the earth comes close to the sun, shadows of the letters "I", "T", "N", "I", "T", and "N" fade in and crowd around the sun and planet. The planet moves into the sun, and the letters, which are now "DESTINATION" in Trajan Pro font, move in. A bright flash occurs, and on a black background, we see the Destination logo, which is two halves of a circle split up by a line. The line has a crescent on one side and a sun on the other. | '''Logo:''' On a black background with {{Color|gold}} haze, we see a planet (presumably the Earth) orbiting around the sun.

'''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. | '''Availability:''' Common.

'''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. | '''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.
