'''Availability:''' | '''Availability:''' This logo was only used as a distribution logo on television and did not appear on any of the studio's film output. Appeared on 1980s syndie prints of ''What Price Hollywood'', ''None But the Lonely Heart'', ''Westward Passage'' and ''Nocturne'', among others; some of these prints air on TCM occasionally. Home media releases from [[RKO Home Video]] and [[The Nostalgia Merchant]] may include this logo at the end of such films as ''Citizen Kane'', ''The Magnificent Ambersons'' and ''Isle of the Dead''. Also appears on the 1986 [[VidAmerica]] VHS release of ''Suspicion'' and the 1990 [[Turner Home Entertainment]] VHS release of ''Bringing Up Baby'' (Turner actually reprinted some older RKO Home Video releases). It is unknown which Turner reprints (or any [[Warner Bros. Home Entertainment|Warner Home Video]] reprints) of RKO films have this logo. | ||
