* It was normally seen on international theatrical prints and trailers of Buena Vista/Disney films (before the main logos), as well as non-Disney productions they distributed such as ''Dragonfly'', ''Abandon'', ''Bruce Almighty'', ''Seabiscuit'', ''Air Force One'', ''Starship Troopers'', ''Bringing Out the Dead,'' ''Snake Eyes'', ''Face/Off'', ''Cinderella Man'', ''It Runs in the Family'', ''Kiss of the Dragon'', and the French version of ''March of the Penguins'', among others; sometimes additionally containing [[Touchstone Pictures]] or [[Miramax Films]] (or other Disney sub-labels) logos at the front (though this was far from a universal rule), and some European DVDs contain the [[Touchstone Home Entertainment|home video]] [[Miramax Home Entertainment|variants]] on their covers, if not the logos themselves. | * It was normally seen on international theatrical prints and trailers of Buena Vista/Disney films (before the main logos), as well as non-Disney productions they distributed such as ''Dragonfly'', ''Abandon'', ''Bruce Almighty'', ''Seabiscuit'', ''Air Force One'', ''Starship Troopers'', ''Bringing Out the Dead,'' ''Snake Eyes'', ''Face/Off'', ''Cinderella Man'', ''It Runs in the Family'', ''Kiss of the Dragon'', and the French version of ''March of the Penguins'', among others; sometimes additionally containing [[Touchstone Pictures]] or [[Miramax Films]] (or other Disney sub-labels) logos at the front (though this was far from a universal rule), and some European DVDs contain the [[Touchstone Home Entertainment|home video]] [[Miramax Home Entertainment|variants]] on their covers, if not the logos themselves. | ||
* A good amount of international home video/TV prints use U.S. domestic versions converted to PAL formats, as a result this is no longer usually seen at the front. However, some versions use prints that had mandatory edits by the countries rating council for distribution, with an example being UK prints of ''Face/Off''. This can be still be seen on international Blu-rays of ''Air Force One'', ''Face/Off'', and ''Starship Troopers''. This also makes appearances on streaming prints of the 2009 Australian film ''Subdivision'', the English dubbed version of ''Die Wilden Kerle 2'' (retitled as ''The Wild Soccer Bunch'' on the U.S. DVD release), the Maverick Latino DVD of ''Tangos Are For Two'', most copies and digital prints of ''Tuvalu'', and the Mexican Distrimax DVD of ''Ladies' Night''. This logo also makes a very strange appearance (before the Miramax International and [[Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios|MGM]] logos) on a Brazilian Blu-ray print of ''The Brothers Grimm''. | * A good amount of international home video/TV prints use U.S. domestic versions converted to PAL formats, as a result this is no longer usually seen at the front.
