Touchstone Pictures

New label created at The Walt Disney Studios by Ron Miller for films that had more mature themes than the standard “Disney” film; the first film to be released as Touchstone Films was Splash in 1984. Eventually Touchstone Pictures would have its own production personnel, and when the number of films being released greatly increased, another label, Hollywood Pictures, was established to spread out the work. The Touchstone Pictures logo is meant to imply a high standard or quality of film—a hallmark of Disney entertainment—from the very first frame. The famous “streak” was created using a Japanese calligraphy brush, painted across an oval, which represents the physical “touchstone”, a tool traditionally used to test the quality of precious metals.

Formerly known as Touchstone Films (1984–86)
