'''Availability:''' Very rare. It was seen on Frank Capra's ''It Happened One Night'' (1934). Also can be seen on ''The Three Stooges'' releases on DVD. Can still be seen on reruns of 1934-1936 ''Three Stooges'' shorts on IFC, AMC, and Antenna TV. It can also be found on TCM and Sony Movie Channel. Don't expect this to appear on original prints of Walt Disney's ''Mickey Mouse'' and ''Silly Symphonies'' cartoons from 1930-1932, as Columbia only distributed those shorts. The textless version can be seen on some ''Three Stooges'' shorts.

* The 1988 [[GoodTimes Entertainment|Goodtimes Home Video]] release of ''Close Encounters of the Third Kind'' (as well as most other Columbia films distributed by Goodtimes on VHS during this period, such as the original 1977 ''Fun With Dick and Jane'') edits this out and goes straight to the opening credits, although other prints, such as the 2001 DVD and 30th Anniversary Blu-ray/DVD and the 40th Anniversary 4KHD retain it (as do later reissues of said other Columbia films from Sony Pictures Home Entertainment).

* The MGM DVD release of ''Amos and Andrew'' has it plastered with the 1987 [[New Line Cinema]] logo, while the YouTube print on the Warner VOD channel had the New Line logo before Columbia's, but was taken off and is now on MGM's channel, with it only featuring the MGM and Castle Rock logos. But the combo (minus New Line) was seen on the Vudu print of the aforementioned film, as well as an airing of the movie on Laff TV.

* The Columbia-Castle Rock combo is also preserved on a 1998 MGM Movie Time VHS release of ''Amos and Andrew'', the German and Australian DVD releases of ''Misery'', as well as a 2013 reprint of the latter, (where it's preceded by the 1986 MGM logo) a 1997 MGM Movie Time VHS of ''City Slickers'' and the widescreen Laserdisc release of the aforementioned film retains this logo as well. This was also preserved on cable TV airings of ''When Harry Met Sally...'' and also appeared on the widescreen Laserdisc release of said film. Can also be seen on the Amazon Instant Video print of ''Late for Dinner'' (after MGM), the Olive Films Blu-ray release of ''Sibling Rivalry'' (also after MGM), and Roku Channel's print of ''Honeymoon in Vegas''. It is unknown if any prints of ''Lord of the Flies'' preserve this logo.

* It also appears on the [[Trimark Home Video|Vidmark]] and [[Starmaker Entertainment|Starmaker]] VHS releases of ''The Shadow Riders'' (they used the overseas theatrical version, which is why this logo is seen at the start), along with the Trimark DVD (don't expect this on the 2006 [[Sony Pictures Home Entertainment]] DVD release, as it uses the original TV version).

* Oddly, in lieu of RCA/Columbia's logo appearing, this logo plasters that of Cinema 5 on the English-dubbed cassette of ''One Sings, the Other Doesn't''.

* The logo is seen on the 1986 VHS of ''Casino Royale'' (1967), plastering the 3rd logo, and it also plasters older Columbia logos on several other post-1981 videocassettes as well, including ''The Black Bird'', ''Gidget'' (1959) and ''Funny Girl''.

* Australian Home Media Releases of ''The Adventures of Milo and Otis'' (e.g. the 2005 [[Roadshow Entertainment (Australia)|Roadshow]] DVD release, and the 1992 Video Selection Australia VHS, on the latter, the OFLC rating screen plasters over it, as a result the opening theme can be heard playing over it) have this logo removed for unknown reasons.

* Some cable prints and [[New Line Home Entertainment|New Line Home Video]] releases of Castle Rock films such as ''Needful Things'', ''Malice'', ''Josh and S.A.M.'', and ''North'' actually keep this logo (don't expect to see it on [[MGM Home Entertainment|MGM]] releases of the former three films; however, the Kino Lorber Blu-rays of ''Needful Things'' and ''Malice'' have it, the latter after MGM).

* On current prints of ''City Slickers 2: The Legend of Curly's Gold'', this is replaced by the 2001 [[Warner Bros. Pictures]] logo (the 1989 Castle Rock logo is intact), while the [[Shout! Factory]] Blu-ray removes it. UK and Australian prints keep this intact due to Columbia keeping the rights to ''City Slickers 2: The Legend of Curly's Gold'' for those countries.

* Current prints of 1994-1998 Castle Rock films distributed by Columbia have the logo either plastered by a Warner Bros. logo or edited out altogether. Even the end in-credit notices aren't safe as they're either blacked out or replaced by a WB logo (it is, however, retained on the 1999 DVD release of ''City Hall'' and the Blu-ray and 2021 UHD release of ''The Shawshank Redemption''). The 1998 Warner Home Video VHS release of ''The American President'' retains this, however.

* Don't expect to see this on the SPA films ''The Star'', ''Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation'', ''The Angry Birds Movie 2'' and ''Wish Dragon'', despite appearing on said films' promotional materials, but the "Released by" closing logo appears at the end. This also doesn't appear at the end of ''Vivo'' nor ''Hotel Transylvania: Transformania'' as the [[Sony Pictures Entertainment]] closing logo appears instead.
