Background
In 1991, two years after Sony's acquisition of Columbia Pictures and its sister company Triumph Films, Sony Video Software, Inc. was reincorporated as SVS/Triumph to cover Triumph releases and low-profile Columbia and TriStar releases, as well some non-Sony releases. The label was retired in 1992.
Logo (1991-1992)
Visuals: On a black background, a rectangular blue box is seen rotating around to the right slowly. On each side is the stacked chrome text "SVS TRIMUPH" divided by an line, with "SVS" being in a stretched Times New Roman font and "TRIUMPH" in a tall thin font. All sides also have a white border surrounding the frame. As they rotate, a ping always appears on the 1st "S".
Variants:
- New Line releases (Suburban Commando, Late for Dinner, etc.), as well as the screener copies of Driving Me Crazy and Spirit of '76, have a flat version with silver text that shimmers and no white border.
- The screener copy of Toy Soldiers seems to show a prototype still variant, with the rectangle a shiny dark grey with a blue outline, and the text in a light blue/white gradient mix.
Technique: CGI.
Audio: None.
Availability: This was a "bridge" between the RCA/Columbia and C-T eras, releasing Triumph's releases, and some "low-profile" Columbia, TriStar, and New Line releases. The label was used sparingly in 1991 when Columbia TriStar Home Video was formed, and used in tandem with the RCA/Columbia or Columbia TriStar logo. Some tapes that feature this logo are The Gate II: Trespassers, Hangin' with the Homeboys, and at least a screener copy of the cult film Lunatics: A Love Story. SVS releases that instead use the RCA/Columbia or Columbia TriStar logos include Toy Soldiers, Pastime, Relentless 2: Dead On (the screener copy uses the RCA/Columbia logo while the actual VHS release uses the Columbia TriStar logo), Pale Blood, Blood and Concrete, Driving Me Crazy, and American Blue Note.
