Background

In 1992, following suit of other international units formerly carrying the RCA/Columbia name and with Columbia TriStar Home Video, the division was renamed to Gaumont Columbia TriStar Home Video. It was quietly shuttered in the early 2000s, with Columbia TriStar handling its own French operations.

(1993-Early 2000s)

Visuals: On a black background, we see a portrait of the Columbia Pictures torch lady spin in from the top left corner of the screen. The TriStar pegasus portrait does the same from the opposing direction. The words "TRISTAR" and "COLUMBIA" slide in from opposing sides of the screen, only to slightly zoom back and position themselves on their respective portraits. Then, a gradient lilac version of the Gaumont daisy zooms out and spins, situating itself on the top of the logo. The Gaumont text fades in while "HOME VIDEO" in red slides down from the two portraits and zooms back slightly. A box outline fades in, encasing the logo.

Variants:

Since later releases have the warning screen play the theme first, the logo is shortened to the boxes moving in, the box being drawn in and the text appearing from it.
At the end of the VHS TV spot for Universal Soldier, the still version of the logo is zoomed out further than usual.

Technique: 2D computer animation.

Audio: Same as the theme for the previous two logos. The later variant has the end of the theme.

Availability: Seen on French prints of material from Columbia and TriStar Pictures.
