Bumper (1991-1995)

Visuals: Same as the Hollywood Pictures Home Video logo of the time, but the blue words "COMING SOON FROM" or "ALSO AVAILABLE FROM" fade in above the logo.

Technique: Same as the Hollywood Pictures Home Video logo, plus the fade-in of "COMING SOON FROM".

Audio: The 1990 Hollywood Pictures jingle, only high-pitched due to being sped up in PAL mode.

Audio Variant: On the 1992 UK and Irish rental VHS releases of Deceived, the ID is silent.

Availability:

  • Seen on Hollywood Pictures releases on VHS in the 1990s such as Super Mario Bros., Tombstone, The Rock, and White Squall, among others.
  • The Home Entertainment variant can be seen on DVDs and Blu-rays, even after the film company's terminations in 2001 and 2007.
  • The first videos from the label, like Arachnophobia and Taking Care of Business, had no proper disclaimer and just went straight to the previews.
  • On international DVD releases of Die Hard With a Vengeance, this appears before the DVD menu, despite the fact that the Touchstone Home Entertainment print logo is on the cover and the disc artwork.
  • It makes a strange appearance on the UK DVD release of What About Bob?, a Touchstone Pictures film.
  • The Home Video variant can be seen on some early international DVDs (such as those being distributed by Warner Home Video in Australia) and is intact on their Home Entertainment label reprints, (e.g. the region 4 DVDs of While You Were Sleeping and The Hand That Rocks The Cradle).
  • In the UK, this was seen up until the late 90s on VHS releases of some Miramax Films and Dimension Films titles, such as Beautiful Girls, The Crossing Guard, The Prophecy, Scream 3 and Rumble in the Bronx, among others. This also appeared on the UK DVD release of Scream.
  • Oddly, the Home Video variant appeared on the 2003 Australian DVD release of G.I. Jane, despite the company name being changed to Hollywood Pictures Home Entertainment at that point.
  • The final release with this logo was the 2012 Blu-ray release of Arachnophobia.
