'''Republic Pictures | In 1984, to coincide with NTA's own rebranding as '''Republic Pictures Corporation''', the home video division was renamed itself to '''Republic Pictures Home Video'''. In addition to its existing public domain line, [[Spotlite Video]], the division also launched '''Inspiration Video''' to release religious material. Both labels were eventually dissolved in 1986, with Republic being the only surviving company. | ||
The division released material from it's catalog and later released other material. After Republic's purchase by Spelling Entertainment in 1994, they merged their existing home video unit [[Worldvision Home Video]] into Republic's, allowing the business to release Spelling material as well. By 1996, the home video unit was the only operational part of the then-renamed Republic Entertainment, Inc. after Spelling shuttered the theatrical division. | The division released material from it's catalog and later released other material.

'''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. | '''Availability:''' Appears on Republic Pictures videos from the '80s.
