Nicknames: "CT Boxes V", "Part V: Take Hollywood Home Again!", "Rising Boxes", "Survival of the Boxes", "Columbia Tristar V", "CT Boxes Wallpaper"

**Logo**: On a taupe brown background, we see a row of gold print logos of the Torch Lady and Pegasus in boxes at an angle. The Columbia and TriStar boxes (in their similar styles from the 4th and 5th logos, which this time, they are still and not animated), then rise out of two of the boxes in the center as the row of boxes tilts to face the screen. The 3-D words "COLUMBIA TRISTAR" and "HOME VIDEO" in gold, both fade in above and below the boxes, respectively with a shining wipe effect.

Trailer Variants: Many times, the boxes would then slide away, the CTHV text would fade out, and one of the following phrases, in script, would zoom in from the center of the logo:

* Coming Soon to a Theater Near You
* Coming Soon to Home Video
* Now Available on Home Video

Afterwards, a trailer with one of the following features would be played.

**Variants**:

* There is a shorter version that stops before revealing a clip-on.
* An extremely rare variant exists where there are blue bars featuring small CTHV print logos on both sides of the logo. This version is seen on early DVDs and widescreen Laserdiscs and videotapes.
* A still version is used on a home video trailer for *Dracula: Dead and Loving It*.

**FX/SFX**: Simple but nice animation.

**Music/Sounds**: Same as the previous logo, but the choir is less jolly and the music is orchestrated.

Music/Sounds Variants:

* On some trailers like both versions of the Family Collection trailer, the exact same music from the last logos are used.
* On the trailer variants of this logo, a 6-note piano jingle is added at the beginning.
* The 2nd version of the Family Collection trailer has a version similar to the one mentioned above, except the piano jingle is shortened to the last 4 notes.
* A silent version of the trailer variants appears on the 1997 demo VHS of *The Devil's Own*.

**Availability**: Rare. It was used for only 2 years. Sometimes it was alternated with the 1993 blue background logo, so as always, keep your eye out.

* The logo was used on the VHS releases of *Money Train*, *The Juror*, *Screamers*, *Bottle Rocket*, *Race the Sun*, *The Craft*, *Multiplicity*, *Mrs. Winterbourne*, *The Cable Guy*, *Matilda*, *Welcome to the Dollhouse*, *The Fan*, *Fly Away Home*, *High School High*, *The Mirror Has Two Faces*, *The People vs. Larry Flynt*, *Fools Rush In*, *Buddy*, and later printings of *Bad Boys*, *The Net*, and *Magic in the Water*. A 1997 reissue of *Who's Harry Crumb?* also contains the logo.
* The shorter version appeared on *Jumanji (1995)* (the clip-on does appear, but both are broken up by a Sony Maximum Television commercial), preview prints of *Jerry Maguire*, and the demo tapes of *The Celluloid Closet* and *High School High* (seen twice, bookending the demo tape previews).
* The widescreen version appears on the letterbox Laserdisc editions of *The Indian in the Cupboard*, *Lost in Yonkers*, and *The Cable Guy*, as well as Sony's earliest DVDs (circa spring and summer 1997), such as the original releases of *Jumanji*, *In the Line of Fire*, *Philadelphia*, *Little Women (1994)*, *Fly Away Home*, *A League of Their Own*, and *Immortal Beloved*.
* Strangely, no logo appears on the 1997 DVD releases of *Jerry Maguire*, *Last Action Hero*, *Bram Stoker's Dracula*, *Awakenings*, and *First Knight*.
