It is however, preserved on the 2001 DVD and the Blu-ray releases of ''Carrie'' and ''Rocky'' (with the 1994 music tacked on, due to sloppy editing), but then replaced with the current logo on the 2006 DVD release of the latter. However, the 1990 VHS of ''Rocky'' has this logo plastered with the 1987 logo and the MGM/UA Communications logo, while the 1996 VHS and 1998 DVDs of ''Rocky'' have it plastered with the 1994 logo, along with the 2014 Blu-ray. It was kept on the RCA CED release of ''Rocky'', which was released months before Transamerica no longer owned UA. | ||
*Also seen on current TV airings of ''Champion of Death'' (AKA ''Karate Bullfighter''), after the 2008 MGM logo. This logo was last seen on ''Bound for Glory'', in which the R2 DVDs and ThisTV airings (following the 10th logo) retain it, while the R1 releases have it plastered with the 1987 logo. | *Also seen on current TV airings of ''Champion of Death'' (AKA ''Karate Bullfighter''), after the 2008 MGM logo.
