'''Logo:''' Against a starry space background, a blue streak of light zooms out, flashes, and forms a bronze, swirly "C". The process repeats twice, working its way outward, before forming the Carolco logo, which consists of a large, stylized "C" formed by many 3D swirls. Afterwards, the logo shines brightly as the words "CAROLCO" (in the Hanzel font and in silver) shine in underneath. The logo then sparkles. | '''Logo:''' Against a starry space background, a blue streak of light zooms out, flashes, and forms a bronze, swirly "C".

'''Availability:''' Extremely rare. The two films confirmed to have used this logo are ''Rambo: First Blood Part II'' and ''Angel Heart'', all on international prints and early home video releases where this is shown cropped to 4:3 from a print matted to widescreen. | '''Availability:''' Extremely rare. The two films confirmed to have used this logo are ''Rambo: First Blood Part II'' and ''Angel Heart'', all on international prints and early home video releases where this is shown cropped to 4:3 from a print matted to widescreen. The original domestic prints of these films began with a TriStar Pictures logo. ''Rambo: First Blood Part II'', from the 1988 IVE release onward (with the exceptions of the 1991 Live Home Video, 1992 Promotional Concept Group, Inc. and 1995 Avid Home Entertainment VHS releases, which retain this logo), updates this with the 3rd logo. On HBO prints, from when they first started running the film in 1986, the domestic print with the TriStar logo was used instead. Some TV prints of ''Angel Heart'' have the TriStar logo while most DVD releases open with no logo. The Scope version appears on at least a SECAM release of ''Rambo: First Blood Part II'', but it does not appear at all on the British Thorn EMI Video release of said movie. | ||
'''Editor's Note:''' A wasted early effort by the company, the logo's short-lived tenure puzzled many in the logo community. | '''Editor's Note:''' A wasted early effort by the company, the logo's short-lived tenure puzzled many in the logo community. | ||
