'''Variants:'''
* The first byline variants introduced, even the "Home Video" text versions plus the 2003 Time Warner byline had the original ITC Garamond Cond Book logo font. These versions were videotaped, running in fast 30fps for most of the time, and the text zooms in at 60fps; two byline variants, one being the second AOL byline variant, and the TimeWarner from 2004 onwards are filmed with a different font from the videotaped variants, with the text rapidly zooming in on the first filmed logo. 4:3 variants, except for the 2004 TimeWarner byline version, had a large field of vision, and the 16:9 variants were vertically cropped from their original formats
* A widescreen version of the Turner variant was used on a few early 1997 DVDs in anamorphic widescreen such as ''The Long Kiss Goodnight'', ''Dumb and Dumber'' and ''Jackie Chan's First Strike''. DVDs in 4:3 letterbox widescreen such as ''The Mask'' and ''Mortal Kombat'' use the regular full-screen version.
* On VHS tapes and demo DVDs, there is a still of this logo seen before the Warning screen.
* On some VHS releases, about halfway through the animation, streaks of green appear through the blue glow. This can be found on the 1998 VHS of ''The Wedding Singer'' and the 1999 VHS releases of ''Pleasantville'' and ''A Nightmare on Elm Street''. However, the DVDs of all three (including a Warner Bros. Century Collection VHS reissue of ''Pleasantville'') use the standard variant.
* On
* There is one 4:3 version of the AOL Time Warner byline variant that has similar camera field of vision angle degrees as the 60p version of the logo. Another notable difference is that the byline is not near the bottom of the screen. This was spotted on the 2001 VHS reprint of ''Mortal Kombat''.
* On the 2003 byline variant, but not the recent variation prior to the logo's end, uses the Palatino font.
* A 4:3 anamorphic squished version of the widescreen variant of the New Line Home Entertainment logo (with the AOL Time Warner byline) appears on the full-screen side of a 2003 repackaged 1997 DVD of ''Dumb and Dumber''.
* There are 4:3 cropped variants of the widescreen variants of the 1999 Time Warner, 2001 AOL Time Warner, 2003 Time Warner, and 2004 TimeWarner variants. The 1999, 2001 and 2003 variants can only be viewed in 4:3 mode on all DVD players, while the 2004 variant can be found on all 2004-2006 VHS releases.
* On a promo seen on the 2001 demo VHS of ''Dungeons & Dragons,'' the filmbox from the movie logo rapidly zooms in, crossfading to the print logo for New Line Home Entertainment, with the text in a different, narrower font in black on a white background.
Line 113 ⟶ 114:
* The 1997 Time Warner variant can be found on all VHS and DVD releases from 1997 to 2001 such as ''Spawn'', ''Rush Hour'', ''Pleasantville'', ''The Wedding Singer'', ''Blade'', ''Boogie Nights'', ''Lost in Space'' (1998 film), the first two ''Austin Powers'' movies and the ''Nightmare on Elm Street Platinum Series'' DVD box set. Some of the last releases to use the "HOME VIDEO" variant were ''The Little Vampire'' and ''Little Nicky''.
* The bold caps variant of the Time Warner byline can be found on the aforementioned titles above.
* The "HOME ENTERTAINMENT" variant replaces the "HOME VIDEO" variant on most repackagings of 1997-2001 DVDs.
* The AOL Time Warner variant can be found on several 2001-2003 VHS and DVD releases such as ''Sugar and Spice'', ''Rush Hour 2'', ''Austin Powers In Goldmember'', ''Blade II'', and the ''Lord of the Rings'' trilogy.
* The 2003 Time Warner variant can be found on the VHS releases of ''Freddy vs Jason'', ''Ripley's Game'', ''The Texas Chainsaw Massacre'', and ''Secondhand Lions''. It can also be found on some DVDs such as ''How To Eat Fried Worms'' and the 2005 DVD release of ''The Mask'', though it is unknown if the full-screen version seen on the aforementioned VHS releases appears on retail DVDs like the AOL byline.

In 1990, New Line Cinema established its own video label as New Line Home Video (later renamed New Line Home Entertainment in 2001) and started releasing its videos the following year through RCA/Columbia Pictures Home Video (which became Columbia TriStar Home Video) while Laserdisc releases were exclusively distributed by Image Entertainment.
Prior to this, RCA/Columbia had been releasing some New Line films on video including the first two Critters films, Alone in the Dark (1982 version), Quiet Cool, My Demon Lover and House Party. Other distributors had also been releasing New Line films on video such as Media Home Entertainment (Nightmare on Elm Street 1-5), HBO Video (Xtro and The Blood of Heroes) and LIVE Entertainment (Babar The Movie, Chicago Joe and the Showgirl and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles).
Even after forming its own video label, New Line still licensed some titles to LIVE such as Drop Dead Fred (a PolyGram/Working Title production which New Line released theatrically in the US), Glengarry Glen Ross, London Kills Me (a Fine Line Features release) and all Seven Arts films which New Line released (Seven Arts was a New Line/Carolco joint venture which resulted in video rights going to LIVE).
New Line's acquisition of Nelson Entertainment in 1991 enhanced its home video library; they distributed some Castle Rock Entertainment films and reissued several former Embassy Home Entertainment titles in addition to the main studio's selections.
On January 28, 1994, New Line's video distribution shifted to Turner Home Entertainment after Turner acquired New Line. After Time Warner (later "WarnerMedia" and "Warner Bros. Discovery") bought out Turner in 1996, New Line's video distribution shifted once again to Warner Home Video.
In mid-2008, it became a division of Warner Home Video after a short transitional period and folded 2 years later.
