The original "Black Diamond" logo which features the Walt Disney Home Video logo below the words "The Classics" in a black diamond with a white border and a dark blue shadow behind it. Many collectors give this logo a nickname known as the "Cheesy Classics" logo, mainly for the cheesy animation. This is an early prototype logo as the more common Diamond logo would be introduced shortly afterwards.
