* Later reissues have both updated logos on the packaging and labels, but still preserve this logo on-screen due to reuse of older tape masters. This is the case with ''American Graffiti'' (1985 release, in print into early 1986), the 1931 version of ''Dracula'' and ''The Bank Dick'', starring W.C.

* This makes surprise appearances at the end of ''The Secrets of the Back to the Future Trilogy'' documentary on the 2002 DVD release of ''Back to the Future Part III'' (which was part of the ''Back to the Future: The Complete Trilogy'' DVD set from 2002) and the beginning of ''The Making of Jurassic Park'' documentary on the 2000 Collector's Edition DVD of ''Jurassic Park''. Both of these were likely sourced from Laserdisc masters (especially since the latter even has the Laserdisc warning screen intact). It was later intact on the Peacock prints of ''The Adventures of Timmy the Tooth'', and more recently on an airing of ''Foreign Student'' on Screenpix (as well as on The Roku Channel's streaming print). It also shows up at the start of a Netflix print of ''Deep Red'' a recent airing of ''Boss of Lonely Valley'' on Starz Encore Westerns, and a TCM airing of ''Secret of the Blue Moon''. | * This makes surprise appearances at the end of ''The Secrets of the Back to the Future Trilogy'' documentary on the 2002 DVD release of ''Back to the Future Part III'' (which was part of the ''Back to the Future: The Complete Trilogy'' DVD set from 2002) and the beginning of ''The Making of Jurassic Park'' documentary on the 2000 Collector's Edition DVD of ''Jurassic Park''.
