'''Availability:''' Extremely rare. Tapes with this logo might turn up on eBay UK (or other sites) sometime. The Magnetic pre-cert release of ''Alien'' might have this; it was also known to be spotted on a 1983 tape of ''15 Famous Cartoons from Terrytoons, Volume 2'', which was probably a reprint of an earlier tape. | '''Availability:''' Extremely rare.

* '''Logo:''' There is an opening and a closing version. | |||
