This logo was also spotted on various episodes of ''The Saint'' on [[ITV4]] in the UK and at the start and end of one episode of the aforementioned show on Me-TV titled "The Best Laid Schemes". Edited reruns of ''Thunderbirds'' that aired in 1994 on Fox Kids had the animated logo with copyright; the infamous ''Turbocharged Thunderbirds'' aired in syndication the next year had a still variant with no copyright. | ||

* This logo is also intact on some ITC films released by different companies, such as the [[Sony Pictures Home Entertainment|Columbia/TriStar]] DVD release and a Netflix print of ''Fear of a Black Hat'', the Scorpion Releasing DVD of ''Whispers'', and the Synapse Films DVD of ''Stepfather II: Make Room for Daddy''. It was also recently seen on Amazon Prime Video viewings of ''Dogpound Shuffle'', ''Doppelganger'', and ''Welcome Home, Roxy Carmichael'' (the latter in place of the 1986 [[Paramount Pictures|Paramount]] logo, which suggests the international master was used). On Blu-Ray, this appears on the German BD of ''Wedlock'', and the Scorpion releases of ''Trouble Bound'', ''The Last Seduction'' (including the Network UK BD and SE DVD) over the film's opening theme, though the US Artisan DVD had it plastered with the Barnholtz Productions logo. | *This logo is also intact on some ITC films released by different companies, such as the [[Sony Pictures Home Entertainment|Columbia/TriStar]] DVD release and a Netflix print of ''Fear of a Black Hat'', the Scorpion Releasing DVD of ''Whispers'', and the Synapse Films DVD of ''Stepfather II: Make Room for Daddy''.

* This is also seen on ITC catalog releases by Avid Home Entertainment, where it usually (if not always) plasters earlier ITC logos or those of the films' distributors (e.g. [[Associated Film Distribution]], [[20th Century Studios|20th Century Fox]] (now 20th Century Studios), [[Columbia Pictures]], [[Universal Pictures]], [[Warner Bros. Pictures]], and [[Embassy Film Associates|Avco Embassy Pictures Corporation]]); on the Avid release of ''The Tamarind Seed'', it plasters the Avco Embassy logo but retains the in-credit ITC opening logo. | *This is also seen on ITC catalog releases by Avid Home Entertainment, where it usually (if not always) plasters earlier ITC logos or those of the films' distributors (e.g. [[Associated Film Distribution]], [[20th Century Studios|20th Century Fox]] (now 20th Century Studios), [[Columbia Pictures]], [[Universal Pictures]], [[Warner Bros.
