'''Availability:''' Extremely rare. Seen only on early video releases of the first Touchstone movies, such as ''Splash'' and ''My Science Project'', among others. These tapes were packaged in the same sealed clamshell boxes Disney used on their "Neon Mickey" releases. This logo is absent on the Touchstone VHS/Beta releases of ''Country'' and the TV series ''Wildside''.

* ''Down and Out in Beverly Hills'' preview: ''"And now, here's a look at the Touchstone Home Video smash comedy hit..."'' once again followed by the movie title. This one uses the undistorted version of the logo's music.

'''Availability:''' Rare. Only seen on 1986-87 Touchstone videos, starting with the 1986 VHS release of ''Down and Out in Beverly Hills''. This was used up to early 1993 on UK releases such as ''The Hand That Rocks the Cradle''. This can also be seen on the 1990 Canadian VHS of ''Gross Anatomy'', while the U.S. print uses the following logo. One of the last UK tapes to use this logo is ''Consenting Adults''. Following the 1987 VHS of ''Tin Men'', VHS releases from Touchstone didn't include any home video signifier until the 1989 VHS release of ''Cocktail''.

'''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 [[Dimension Films|Dimension]]/[[Miramax Films|Miramax]] 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 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 itself opens with the Disney Videos logo.

'''Availability:''' Common. Appears on all Touchstone releases from 2004 onward, and also appeared in print form starting in with mid-2003 releases. Also appeared on 2004 and 2005 VHS releases, including ''Open Range'', ''Under the Tuscan Sun'', ''The Village'', ''Mr. 3000'', ''The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou'', and ''A Lot Like Love'', the latter being the last VHS ever released from the company. This also plasters over the previous logo on the 2004 Australian Buena Vista Distributed DVD re-release of ''10 Things I Hate About You''. The final regular appearance of this logo was on the 2017 4K UHD of ''The Prestige'', though it was also seen on the remastered Blu-ray on the 4K UHD set of ''Unbreakable'' (region A copies only). This appeared respectively before the film on the Thai VCD releases of ''Veronica Guerin'' and ''Ladder 49'', but the previous logo was seen before the previews.
