'''Availability:''' Appears on Republic Pictures videos from the '80s. Look at the tape case for a print version of this logo; it's printed exactly as it appears on-screen. One such release is the two-tape set of the 1939 serial ''Daredevils of the Red Circle''. The "prototype" version appeared on a 1987 Betamax of ''The Men'' (1950), which used a 1985 video master. | '''Availability:''' Appears on Republic Pictures videos from the '80s.

'''Availability:''' Uncommon. Seen on prints of some Republic Pictures videos from the early 90s. Though it officially ended in 1993, this logo continued to appear mostly on trailers for another few years. This was retained on the 2002 Artisan DVD of ''The Quiet Man''. This is also preserved on Lionsgate DVDs of Republic Pictures films. Surprisingly, it appears on TCM's prints of ''The Fabulous Dorseys'' and ''Venus in Furs,'' and at the beginning of a UK GREAT! Movies Classic airing of ''The Flying Deuces''. Also appears on a British VHS of ''The Langoliers''. | '''Availability:''' Uncommon.
