'''Availability:''' Very rare. It was seen on their limited output of this era such as ''Rockshow'' and ''The Secret Policeman's Other Ball'', among others. The English-language print of ''David the Gnome'' also had this logo when it aired on Nickelodeon and TLC in the U.S., Family Channel in Canada, and across several other English-speaking territories. However, it is not preserved on DVDs of the show, likely due to Miramax's rights to the show expiring, but it is intact on the U.S. Family Home Entertainment and UK Video Collection VHS releases. | '''Availability:''' Very rare.

*It was also originally seen on U.S. theatrical prints of ''Freddie'' as ''F.R.O.7'' and ''Tom and Jerry: The Movie'', but the home video releases show no evidence, though in the case of the former, it's an alternate cut. Strangely, this can be seen on ''The Crow: City of Angels'', but Dimension distributed the film. It was also spotted on the 1999 HBO DVD of ''My Left Foot'', and is preserved on the Anchor Bay DVDs of ''Strapless'' and ''The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover''. It is also seen on early U.S. prints of ''Princess Mononoke'' while later prints use the next logo and the 2017 DVD uses the GKIDS logo. It was also seen on the Canadian VHS releases of ''The Girl in a Swing'' and ''The Miracle'', despite the fact that Millimeter and Prestige distributed those two respective films to U.S. theaters. It can also be found on the U.S. Buena Vista/Lionsgate Blu-Rays of ''Sling Blade, Chasing Amy, Life is Beautiful'', the Alliance Blu-Ray releases of ''The English Patent, Good Will Hunting'', and the Echo Bridge Blu-Ray of ''Don't Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood''. | *It was also originally seen on U.S. theatrical prints of ''Freddie'' as ''F.R.O.7'' and ''Tom and Jerry: The Movie'', but the home video releases show no evidence, though in the case of the former, it's an alternate cut. | ||
