PolyGram Video: Difference between revisions

'''Availability:''' Extremely rare. 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 also 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:''' Very rare. ''NFL Crunch Course'' and the ''Buffalo Bills 1993 Video Yearbook'' are 2 tapes that have this, along with international ''Mighty Morphin Power Rangers'' tapes (though the next logo was used on the box and tape label). Also seen on PolyGram's first 4 UK rental releases - the 3 known ones are ''The Crying Game'', ''Dust Devil'', and ''Braindead''. Its first appearance was on a trailer tape for PolyGram's June 1991 releases, and its last appearance was on a series of pre-season NFL videos from 1993, including ''100 Greatest Touchdowns''. This also plasters the [[PolyGram Music Video]] logo on later prints of ''The Moody Blues: Legend of a Band''. Also appears on 1991 Laserdisc releases of ''Two Rooms: Celebrating The Songs Of Elton John & Bernie Taupin'', ''Genesis: A History'', and the 1993 Laserdisc of ''NFL Rocks''. This logo also appears on UK VHS releases of ''Thunderbirds'', ''Stingray'', ''Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons'', ''Joe 90'' and ''Space: 1999'', among others.

'''Availability:''' Common. Found on PolyGram releases of the period such as ''Mr. Bean'' tapes, ''A Gnome Named Gnorm'', ''Gridlock'd'', ''Jason's Lyric'', ''Fargo'', ''Canadian Bacon'', ''Four Weddings and a Funeral'', ''Candyman: Farewell To The Flesh,'' ''Posse'', ''Snow White: A Tale of Terror'', ''When We Were Kings'', ''Barb Wire'', ''Home for the Holidays'', ''The Usual Suspects'' and their releases of ''The Adventures of Tintin'' animated series. This also appears on the original PolyGram DVDs of ''Portrait of a Lady'' and ''Kalifornia'', among others. Also shows up on mid-'90s releases of Atlantic Releasing Corporation films, including a 1995 VHS of 1984 and a 1996 VHS of ''Teen Wolf''. The "priced for rental" variant appears on ''The Basketball Diaries'' and ''Fargo'', as well as PolyGram's early DVDs. Sometimes, at the end of UK VHS tapes, the logo is shown before the warning screen. Its first appearance was on ''KISS: Konfidential''. Makes an surprise appearance on the 1998 [[Image Entertainment|Image]]/Polygram Video Laserdiscs of ''The Game'' (1997) and ''Bean: The Movie'' (1997), even though both were released the same year during the 6th logo’s lifespan. It's unknown if this appeared on Australian BBC video tapes they distributed from 1993-1996.

*There is a long version of this which is the same as its movie counterpart which appears on PAL VHS releases in the UK and international countries. So far, it was found on a European VHS release of ''The Real Macaw'', a UK VHS release of ''The Borrowers'' and the 1998 Japanese VHS release of ''Super Mobile Legend DinaGiga'', among many others.

*On some promotional trailers for PolyGram releases, there is also a more abstract version of the logo with a solid blue Icarus. This is based off the print logo.

*On ''Franklin'' tapes from Reader's Digest, the 1997 print logo is used.
