'''Music/Sounds:''' None, but on some video releases, a light synth tune was heard.

'''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.

From 1987 to 1989, Republic Pictures' home video releases lack its home video signifier, its just the standard [[Republic Pictures]] logo from the era.


'''Legacy:''' This is a rather basic home video logo, but it does its job.

'''Availability:''' Scarce. It's seen on Republic Pictures Home Video tapes from the period. Unlike the previous logo, this logo's print counterpart is no guarantee of its on-screen appearance.
'''Availability:''' Scarce. It's only seen on the 1989 VHS of ''Brothers in Arms''. Unlike the previous logo, this logo's print counterpart is no guarantee of its on-screen appearance.


'''Legacy:''' A bit of a step down from the previous logo. This is basically an on-screen print logo.

'''Logo:''' On a blue sky background, we see the Republic Pictures eagle, perched on a volcano, but this time the words "REPUBLIC PICTURES HOME VIDEO" appears in a plain white Goudy Old Stylefont.
'''Logo:''' Same as the 1988 Republic Pictures logo, but the text below instead reads as "{{font|Times New Roman|'''REPUBLIC PICTURES HOME VIDEO'''}}".


'''Variant:''' On a laserdisc of ''The Quiet Man'', we see just the eagle and volcano at first, and a few seconds later the text appears.

'''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''.

'''Legacy:''' Like the first logo, it's a basic home video logo that does its job.


'''Final Note:''' After 1993, Republic Pictures began to simply use their regular logo at the time for home video releases.
