===Wave Two (1988-1994)===
Starting with ''Cinderella'', Disney updated the on-screen Walt Disney Classics logo. The new logo opened with the same animation of Sorcerer Mickey that the standard WDHV logo of the time used, but this time, the background turns from black to gradient black and light blue, and the spark forms yellow text reading “Walt Disney” on the top and “CLASSICS” on the bottom in front of a CGI-animated shiny black diamond. This gradient background variant was originally made to appear exclusively on the 1988 retail video release of ''Cinderella''; however, it later appeared on the 1991 retail video release of ''Fantasia: The Making of a Masterpiece'', the 1991 Descriptive Video Service-encoded video release of ''Dumbo'', the 1992 demo VHS releases of ''The Rescuers'' and ''Beauty and the Beast'', the 1992 retail video re-issues of ''Robin Hood'' (on some USA and Canadian copies) and ''The Rescuers Down Under'' (on Canadian copies only), and some French Canadian video releases ranging from 1992 to 1993.
 
Starting with ''Bambi'', the CGI Diamond logo was updated to include a plain dark blue background in place of the gradient background. In addition, the diamond lacks some of the shine it had in the prototype logo.
