'''Availability:''' Extremely rare. Check thrift stores or eBay for VHS releases containing this logo. It can be seen on the UK pre-cert release of ''An American Werewolf in London''. The German version can be seen on German PAL tapes such as ''The Vindicator''. This logo was seen on the Image DVD release of ''Pink Floyd: Live at Pompeii'', and PolyGram DVD of ''Magnum: On The Wings of Heaven'', due to the source of the video being an old master. The logo can also be seen on a few of RCA/Columbia Pictures Home Video's [[Musicvision]] tapes featuring artists under the PolyGram umbrella (including ''Rush: Through the Camera's Eye''), but other than that it hardly put in an appearance on American tapes. This logo was discontinued around the time the company merged with its [[PolyGram Music Video]] subsidiary to expand beyond music titles. | '''Availability:''' Extremely rare.
