* On the 1992 VHS of ''Fiddler on the Roof'', this logo used a 1992 copyright at the beginning of the tape, but a 1990 copyright at the end of the tape. ''Fiddler on the Roof'' was released on the format originally in 1990; when they reprinted it in 1992, they changed the copyright info at the beginning, but they forgot to change the copyright info at the end. | |||
* VCD releases in Thailand also used this logo until 2006, using the 2000 copyright perhaps due to an editing mistake. | |||
