* Some Screen Gems programs had the "S from Hell" logo sloppily plastered with this logo in the early/mid '80s, in a way that the first 2-3 notes of the SG jingle would be heard, then the Ciani music would be heard starting in mid-jingle. One example of this would appear on '80s reruns of ''The Farmer's Daughter''. Allegedly, during this same period, the logo would plaster Screen Gems logos with the original music still intact, though no trace has been found since.

* Local reruns would have the 1988 Distribution logo on several ''Good Times'' episodes, which would also appear on S1 on DVD and on Antenna TV, followed by the SPT logo.

* The 1982 logo can be seen on DVD in many places: the 1982 mini-series ''The Blue and the Gray'', the 1985 version of ''Alice in Wonderland'', several S2 episodes of ''Fantasy Island'' on DVD released from Shout! Factory, with music on most episodes on the season 4 DVD release of ''Punky Brewster'' from Shout! Factory and on Peacock, and without music (also plastering the Paramount logo) on a 1994 VHS of ''Road to Bali'' from Video Treasures.

The B&W 1982 Coca-Cola byline variant can also be seen on select reruns - mostly from season 2 - of ''Naked City'' on both Tubi and (as of this posting) Retro TV's daytime schedule. This variant usually plasters the original Screen Gems torch lady logo during the announcement by Harry Cohn; as a result, the Columbia Pictures Television logo fades out sooner and the remaining theme music is heard for about 5 seconds after fading out.
