'''Availability:''' Very common. Can be seen on several Cannon films from the time. It debuted on ''The Naked Face'', though Cannon continued to use the previous logo for another year. A sped-up version was used as Cannon Video's logo in the UK between 1986 and 1988. Some TV prints of Cannon films may have the logo removed, such as TBS broadcasts of ''Invasion U.S.A.'' in the 1990s, ending with the Viacom "wigga-wigga" logo. It also appears on the HBO/Cannon release of ''The Manhattan Project'' and the Media VHS of ''Mannequin'', both of them [[Gladden Entertainment Corporation|Gladden Entertainment]] productions distributed by 20th Century Fox domestically (the U.S. video rights presumably were retained by Cannon, [https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1986-08-13-fi-17904-story.html the result of a lawsuit filed by Gladden] after Cannon's takeover of Thorn EMI's assets; Thorn EMI had been a financial partner of Gladden's). This is also retained on the 2012 [[The Criterion Collection|Criterion]] Blu-ray of ''Powaqqatsi'' | '''Availability:''' Very common. Can be seen on several Cannon films from the time.

'''Editor's Note:''' This logo is just as well-known as the movies that it preceded. Nice animation considering the time period. | '''Editor's Note:''' This logo is just as well-known as the movies that it preceded. Nice animation considering the time period. | ||
