'''Availability:''' Rare. Currently seen on seasons 2-4 DVD releases of ''Father Knows Best'', two episodes of ''Ranch Party'' on the Internet Archive, and a few season 1 & most season 2 episodes of ''Dennis the Menace'' on Hulu, strangely replacing the next logo on season 2 episodes. Despite the logo blending in with the show itself, C-T has deleted the logo on several occasions. This logo isn't seen on Antenna TV's reruns of ''Father Knows Best'' or ''Dennis the Menace'' as it has been deleted and replaced by the Colex and/or SPT logos. It was also used on the original late '50s/early '60s 16mm prints of all 190 ''Stooges'' shorts that remained in circulation on TV stations until the late 1980s, including 200 non-Stooge Columbia two-reelers released to TV in 1959, many of which can be obtained by private collectors online, although the logo may vary in quality on most shorts. It can be found on a few ''Stooges'' shorts released on VHS by RCA/Columbia, including "A Bird in the Head" (closing variant only), "Three Smart Saps", and "I'm a Monkey's Uncle", which were last seen on TBS in the early '90s. Surprisingly, it can be found on a newly transferred 16mm print of "Disorder in the Court" on a ''Stooges'' DVD by TGG Direct, as this was a public domain short for many years with many VHS/DVD prints blacking out the opening logo due to copyright issues. | '''Availability:''' Rare.

*It's also very rarely seen on ''The Huckleberry Hound Show''. | *It's also very rarely seen on ''The Huckleberry Hound Show''. | ||
*This logo also makes a surprise appearance at the close of the ''Naked City'' season 2 episode "The Day it Rained Mink" (which, as of this posting, can be seen on Tubi). The fourth SG logo was already in use by that time. | |||
'''Editor's Note:''' This was the first use of the "Torch Lady" for television. It's mostly a well-liked logo, but some viewers in their youth were put off by the loud and dramatic nature of the fanfare heard on some shows, which has been referred to by some as the "Fanfare of Doom". | '''Editor's Note:''' This was the first use of the "Torch Lady" for television.
