4th Logo (1995-1997)
Columbia Tristar Home Video (1995)CTHV: 1995
Nicknames: "CT Boxes IV", "The Gold Silk", "Take Hollywood Home!", "Sliding Boxes II"
Logo: Same as the Columbia Tristar Television logo, but the background is replaced by an antique gold fabric background, the text is in white, the text "HOME VIDEO" replaces "TELEVISION", and the cloud background in the Tristar box is changed into a similar cloud background from the Columbia logo (but a bit shorter and darker).
Variant: On some releases, the background is replaced with that from the regular Columbia Tristar Television logo and the name and byline are navy blue akin to that logo.
FX/SFX: The boxes fading in and sliding, the animations of the Columbia/TriStar logos in the boxes.
Music/Sounds: A singing trio (two females: one soprano & alto, and a male tenor) singing "TAKE HOLLYWOOD HOOOOOOOOOME!", or the opening theme of the trailer.
Availability: Very rare. It was used only on some tapes released by the short-lived Columbia TriStar Family Collection, such as Real Genius, Willow, Ghostbusters (only some printings, others use the 3rd logo), The 5,000 Fingers of Dr. T., and The Adventures of Milo and Otis.The variant was seen on several domestic and international promos of home video releases by CTHV. Other tapes with this logo include Persuasion and Money Train.

Nicknames: "CT Boxes II", "The Sliding Boxes", "The Boxes of Boredom"
Logo: We start out against an tossy cloud background. Then a square with the footage of the 1993 Columbia Torch Lady in it fades in, and slides to the left, revealing a box with the footage of the 1993 TriStar Pegasus, which slides to the right. The words "COLUMBIA TRISTAR" appear above the boxes and "TELEVISION DISTRIBUTION" on the bottom with "a SONY PICTURES ENTERTAINMENT company" below everything else.
Standard Variants: Depending on the unit that the show originated (Television, Television Distribution, or Domestic Television), the logo was modified accordingly.
