The picture quality was improved over the earlier variant, and the words "{{color||blue|'''HOME VIDEO'''}}" were replaced with "{{color||blue|'''HOME ENTERTAINMENT'''}}". Oddly, only a few DVDs feature this variant as most use the earlier "HOME VIDEO" version; though later VHS releases used this towards the end of 2003. | ||
* A rare version of the "HOME ENTERTAINMENT" logo has a smoother frame rate and the trailing animation is slightly sped-up. It appeared on the demo VHS of ''Crazy/Beautiful'', though the actual VHS and DVD used the "HOME VIDEO" variant instead. It also appears on the 2002 VHS reprints of ''Cocktail'' and ''Nothing to Lose'', as well as on later Australian VHS releases from the company, such as ''Bubble Boy''. | * A rare version of the "HOME ENTERTAINMENT" logo has a smoother frame rate and the trailing animation is slightly sped-up.
