*The byline-less version is preserved on most 1982 to 1995 films (usually with the MGM logo), such as ''The Silence of the Lambs'', ''The Terminator'' (although the 1991 Hemdale Home Video VHS and 1995 Image Entertainment Laserdisc releases plaster this logo with the Hemdale Film Corporation logo), ''Madhouse'', ''Bull Durham'', the original ''Robocop'' trilogy, ''Hoosiers'', ''Mississippi Burning'', ''Platoon'', ''UHF'', ''Three Amigos'', ''Breathless'' (1983), ''Harry and Son'', ''Dances with Wolves'' (US prints only), and both ''Bill & Ted'' films, among others (though the 2001 DVD release of ''Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey'' inexplicably cuts the logo, going from the MGM logo straight to the opening credits). | *The byline-less version is preserved on most 1982 to 1995 films (usually with the MGM logo), such as ''The Silence of the Lambs'', ''The Terminator'' (although the 1991 Hemdale Home Video VHS and 1995 Image Entertainment Laserdisc releases plaster this logo with the Hemdale Film Corporation logo), ''Madhouse'', ''Bull Durham'', the original ''Robocop'' trilogy, ''Hoosiers'', ''Mississippi Burning'', ''Platoon'' (except for the 1998 [[PolyGram Video (UK)|PolyGram]] VHS), ''UHF'', ''Three Amigos'', ''Breathless'' (1983), ''Harry and Son'', ''Dances with Wolves'' (US prints only), and both ''Bill & Ted'' films, among others (though the 2001 DVD release of ''Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey'' inexplicably cuts the logo, going from the MGM logo straight to the opening credits). | ||
*The earlier variant with the Warner Bros. byline first appeared on the 1980 WCI Home Video VHS and Betamax release of ''10'' to plaster the previous logo, and was also seen on theatrical releases of the time frame (in tandem with the previous logo). This version plasters the previous logo on current releases of 1979 to 1981 films such as ''Caddyshack'', ''The Great Santini'', ''Arthur'' (1981), ''Sharky's Machine'' and ''Wolfen'', among others. On ''First Blood'', it was preserved on the 1983 Thorn EMI Video VHS release, appearing on the film all the way up to the 1995 Avid Home Entertainment release, and also appears on the widescreen laserdisc release from Live Home Video; oddly enough, though the film itself is letterboxed, the logo is still anamorphically squeezed into a 4:3 frame. | *The earlier variant with the Warner Bros. byline first appeared on the 1980 WCI Home Video VHS and Betamax release of ''10'' to plaster the previous logo, and was also seen on theatrical releases of the time frame (in tandem with the previous logo).

*The original closing variant appeared from 1979 to 1982, only appearing without the Warner Bros. byline towards the end of its run. The last film to feature it was ''Split Image'', which removed it on all home video releases; currently, the only known sources for the bylineless variant are old video copies of ''Amityville II: The Possession'', the first film to use this logo without the WB byline. Beginning with ''Lone Wolf McQuade'', which doesn’t have “Orion” in its usual stylized font, the closing logo was on a single line of text and usually appeared during the closing credits sequences instead of after. | *The original closing variant appeared from 1979 to 1982, only appearing without the Warner Bros. byline towards the end of its run.
