Touchstone Home Entertainment: Difference between revisions

* This logo is only seen on early video releases of the first Touchstone movies, such as ''Splash'' and ''My Science Project'', among others. Most of these video releases (with the exception of ''My Science Project'') were packaged in the same sealed clamshell boxes Disney used on their "Neon Mickey" releases.

** A "'''COMING SOON'''" variant with the same ITC Souvenir font exists.

**A one-off Coming Soon variant also exists, which can be found on the UK VHS release of ''Line of Duty'', where the '''"COMING SOON FROM"''' text uses the same font as the [[Buena Vista Home Entertainment|Buena Vista Home Video]] variant that is seen on that release.

* This logo is only seen on 1986-87 Touchstone VHS releases, starting with the 1986 VHS release of ''Down and Out in Beverly Hills''.

* This logo was also used up to early 1993 on UK releases such as ''The Hand That Rocks the Cradle''.

* It can also be seen on the 1990 Canadian VHS release of ''Gross Anatomy'', while the U.S. print uses the following logo.

* One of the last UK releases to feature this logo is ''Consenting Adults''.

* Following the 1987 VHS release of ''Tin Men'', VHS releases from Touchstone did not include any home video signifier until the 1989 VHS release of ''Cocktail''.

* It can also be found on the 1989 UK VHS release of ''Who Framed Roger Rabbit'' (1988), the 1991 UK VHS release of ''Pretty Woman'' (1990) and the 1993 UK VHS release of ''Father of the Bride'' (1991), respectively.

* The "HOME VIDEO" version has two variants; the VHS version has a video-generated fade-out, the LaserDisc and DVD version has a film-generated fadeout.

* The "HOME VIDEO" version of the logo is doubled on some early 2000s UK VHS releases, where the logo plays as usual before the previews, it reappears after [[Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment (Home Video Bumpers)/Europe and Middle East|the Feature Presentation bumper]] and just before the [[Touchstone Pictures|theatrical Touchstone Pictures]] logo appears.

* The positioning of the logo varies.

* Starting in the early 2000's, a new variant was made to coincide with the release of DVD releases. The picture quality is improved over the earlier variant, and the words "{{color|blue|'''HOME VIDEO'''}}" are replaced with "{{color|blue|'''HOME ENTERTAINMENT'''}}". Only a few DVD releases feature this variant as most use the earlier "HOME VIDEO" version; though later VHS releases used this towards the end of 2003.

* A version of the "HOME ENTERTAINMENT" logo exists, which has a smoother frame rate and the trailing animation is slightly sped-up. It can be found on the U.S. demo VHS release of ''Crazy/Beautiful'', though the actual VHS and DVD releases use the "HOME VIDEO" variant instead. It is also seen 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''.

* "<span style="color:FFD700">'''NOW YOU CAN OWN YOUR FAVORITE HIT MOVIES...'''</span>" appears over the logo on various 1990-1992 sell-thru VHS releases that feature the Touchstone Home Video promo at the start, kept in print until 2002. The last new VHS release to use this variant was the summer 1992 reprint of ''The Doctor.''

* On the 1992 U.S. demo VHS release of ''Sister Act'', following the standard Touchstone Home Video logo, a still version of the logo fades in with the text "Coming From" above the logo and "at $19.99 S.R.P." below the logo, in the same color as the text in the logo. The screen fades to black after about five seconds. This precedes a sell-thru trailer for ''Father of the Bride''.

* On a few early 2000s UK VHS releases such as ''Shanghai Noon'', a still shot of this logo was seen, positioned upwards with "PRESENTS" in a yellow/gold font below, accompanied by the logo's theme.

* On early UK VHS releases with this logo, such as the 1993 releases of ''Sister Act'' and ''The Distinguished Gentleman'', the logo plays normally, but when the text shines, the words "COMING SOON FROM" or "ALSO AVAILABLE FROM" in a gold font fades in above.

* On an Italian trailer for ''Armageddon'' (''Armageddon - Giudizio finale''), the logo is an edited still version of the movie logo, with "HOME VIDEO" (in a different font) replacing "PICTURES".

* Superimposed variants of the "HOME ENTERTAINMENT" variant also exist.

* On Touchstone's first sell-thru releases from 1989, the "HOME VIDEO" version includes an announcer, Brian Cummings, announcing over the logo, "Now you can own these hit titles from Touchstone Home Video!". On the 1989 reprint of ''Stakeout'', only one preview is on the tape, so the announcement mentions "this hit title" instead of "these hit titles".

* On the 1991 U.S. demo VHS releases of ''Green Card'' and ''White Fang'', as well as the 1991 VHS releases of ''Arachnophobia'' and ''Taking Care of Business'', the logo is silent and cut down to the last five seconds. Brian Cummings also announces "Coming from Touchstone Home Video." over the bumper.

* The still variant from the 1992 U.S. demo VHS release of ''Sister Act'' uses the theme from the 1991 gold [[Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment|Walt Disney Home Video]] logo, and the same Brian Cummings announcement as the previous variant.

* On Australian VHS releases, the 1997 LaserDisc release of ''Con Air'', and some DVD releases, such as the 2000 DVD releases of ''Shanghai Noon'' and ''High Fidelity'' and the 2002 DVD release of ''Captain Ron'', among others, the home video version of this logo uses the audio track from the movie logo.

* On the 2000 DVD release of ''Adventures In Babysitting'', the 2001 UK VHS release of ''Pearl Harbor'' and the 2002 UK VHS release of ''The Count of Monte Cristo'', the logo is silent.

* Debuting on the 1989 U.S. VHS release of ''Cocktail'', this logo can be found on most Touchstone VHS and DVD releases from the era until 2003, even on releases following the 2002 logo's debut such as ''Signs'' and Spike Lee's ''25th Hour''.

** This is also seen on the 2005 UMD for PSP release of ''The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy''.

* This logo is omitted on the UK DVD release of ''What About Bob?'', which uses the [[Hollywood Pictures Home Entertainment]] logo instead.

* It can also be found on some UK VHS releases of [[Dimension Films|Dimension]]/[[Miramax Films|Miramax]] titles in the mid-90s, such as ''Emma'', ''Pulp Fiction'' (this was also retained at the start of an old Sky Movies UK airing of said title, meaning they used a transfer of the UK video master) and ''Muriel's Wedding''.

* It is also seen before the [[Miramax Home Entertainment]] logo on the 1994 U.S. VHS release of ''Like Water for Chocolate'', and can also be found on the U.S. demo VHS releases of ''Mediterraneo'', ''Farewell My Concubine'', ''The Crow'' and ''The Snapper'' (while the retail versions used the Miramax Home Entertainment logo).

* It is also seen before the previews on the Thai VCD release of ''Starsky & Hutch''.

* This logo is omitted on the UK VHS release of ''Reign of Fire'', which opens with the company's [[Touchstone Pictures|theatrical]] logo instead.

* It may also be found 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, otherwise it will have the [[Buena Vista Home Entertainment]] logo.

* This logo can also be found on the 2004 Thai VCD release 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); and on the Indonesian VCD release of ''I Am Number Four'', released in April 2011.

* It is also seen 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 is also seen on the French SECAM VHS release of ''Cool Runnings'' (''Rasta Rockett'') (1993).

* 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 1995 [[Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment|Disney Videos]] logo instead.

* This logo also makes an appearance on the Mexican Spanish-subtitled VHS release of ''The Lion King'' (''El rey león'') while the dubbed version itself opens with the 1995 Disney Videos logo.

* It can also be found on the 1996 UK VHS release of ''Die Hard with a Vengeance'' (1995).

'''Availability:''' This logo can be found on all Touchstone releases from 2004 onward (including ''The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy'', ''Wild Hogs'', ''The Proposal'', and ''Confessions of a Shopaholic''); it appeared in print form starting with mid-2003 releases.

* It is also seen 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 logo also plasters over the previous logo on the 2004 Australian Buena Vista DVD re-release of ''10 Things I Hate About You''.

* The final regular appearance of this logo was on the 2017 4K UHD release 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 logo can also be found respectively before the film on the Thai VCD releases of ''Veronica Guerin'' and ''Ladder 49'', although the previous logo is seen before the previews.
