'''Availability:''' Common. First seen on the 1989 VHS release of ''Cocktail'', this logo appears on most Touchstone DVD and VHS releases from the era until 2003, even on releases following the 2002 logo's debut such as ''Signs'' and Spike Lee's ''25th Hour''. Strangely, this also appears on the 2005 UMD for PSP release of ''The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy''. This is not seen on the UK DVD release of ''What About Bob?'', which strangely uses the [[Hollywood Pictures Home Entertainment]] logo instead. It also appeared on some UK VHS releases of [[Miramax Films]] titles in the mid-90s, such as ''Emma'', ''Pulp Fiction'' (in which this was even oddly retained at the start of an old Sky Movies UK airing of said title) and ''Muriel's Wedding''. It is also seen before the [[Miramax Home Entertainment]] logo on the 1994 US VHS release of ''Like Water for Chocolate'', and also appeared on the demo VHS releases of ''Mediterraneo'', ''Farewell My Concubine, The Crow'' and ''The Snapper'' (while the retail versions used the | '''Availability:''' Common.

It is also seen before the [[Miramax Home Entertainment]] logo on the 1994 US VHS release of ''Like Water for Chocolate'', and also appeared on the demo VHS releases of ''Mediterraneo'', ''Farewell My Concubine'', The Crow'' and ''The Snapper'' (while the retail versions used the Miramax Home Entertainment logo). It also appeared before the previews on the Thai VCD release of ''Starsky & Hutch''. Strangely, this isn't seen on the UK VHS release of ''Reign of Fire'' which opens with the company's [[Touchstone Pictures|theatrical]] logo instead. It may also appear on international DVD releases of seasons 1 and 2 of ''Alias'', given the Touchstone Home Entertainment print logo is on the box, cover and disc artwork. VCD releases in Thai continued to use this logo up until 2011 (one example being ''When in Rome''). This strangely appeared on the 2004 Thai VCD of [[Walt Disney Pictures]]' ''Miracle'', before the previews (the black version of the 2001 [[Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment|Walt Disney Home Entertainment]] logo is seen before the film). Similarly, this also appeared on the Australian VHS release of ''First Kid'', once again before the previews (the 1990s [[Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment|Disney Videos]] logo is seen before the film). It also, oddly enough, appeared on the French SECAM VHS of ''Cool Runnings'' (''Rasta Rockett''). Although the Touchstone Home Entertainment print logo is seen on the cover and disc artwork of the UK DVD release of ''The Three Musketeers'' (1993), said release opens with the [[Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment|Disney Videos]] logo instead. Conversely, this logo makes a surprise appearance on the Mexican Spanish-subtitled VHS of ''The Lion King'' (''El rey león''), while the dubbed version opens with the Disney Videos logo. | ||
