The bold, glossy new logo for CTHE was launched in April 2001 with a majestic, synthesized soundtrack shortly after the Columbia TriStar Home Video name was scrapped. In 2002, CTHE became the last subsidiary of Sony Pictures to bear the Columbia TriStar branding along with Columbia TriStar Film Distributors International, as Columbia TriStar Domestic Television and Columbia TriStar International Television were both respectively rebranded as Sony Pictures Television and Sony Pictures Television International. On November 30th, 2004, CTHE was renamed Sony Pictures Home Entertainment in the USA and Canada. Sony continued to use the CTHE name and logo in the UK, the Republic of Ireland and some other territories outside North America. It was not until June 20th, 2005 that SPHE finally decided to adopt their current name and logo worldwide, although until April 2006, the logo was still used on VHS releases in the UK and Ireland, as well as French Canadian releases, and also on reprints of some previously released films and TV shows on VHS and DVD.
