* 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.

* This logo is usually removed from current prints of ''Split Image'' (one of the first films to feature this logo without the Warner Bros. byline) and instead go straight to the PolyGram logo. Out of the original ''Amityville'' films, this is retained only on ''Amityville 3-D'', where the MGM logo does not appear at all on the Blu-ray, even at the end. The R-rated Director's Cut version of ''Amadeus'' plasters this logo with the 2001 Warner Bros. logo, since Orion only handled theatrical distribution in the United States and Warner Bros. owns the film via The Saul Zaentz Company. It is intact on some releases of the original Theatrical Cut, such as the [[Pioneer Entertainment]] Widescreen Laserdisc release and the 1997 WB R1 DVD release. Recent TV airings and the Blu-ray of ''No Way Out'' plasters this with the next logo, although it is retained on the R1 DVD release and also on the 2000s MGM VHS reissue. | * This logo is usually removed from current prints of ''Split Image'' (one of the first films to feature this logo without the Warner Bros. byline) and instead go straight to the PolyGram logo.
