'''Availability:''' Common. The flipped moon variant debuted at the end of ''The Goonies'' while the normal variant debuted at the end of ''Back to the Future'', and can be found on every Amblin film from this era (except ''Schindler's List'', ''The Bridges of Madison County'', ''Minority Report'', ''Flags of Our Fathers'', and ''Letters from Iwo Jima'', as well as the three Amblimation productions, which featured that company's special logo, and the aforementioned with the 1st/print logo on the credits). Most prints of ''E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial'' don't show this logo despite showing the logo on the packaging, except on the 1988 home video release and ABC Family/Freeform's print of the film. The last film to use this logo was ''The Hundred-Foot Journey''. This logo makes a reappearance on ''The House with a Clock in Its Walls'', fitting with the retro theme, and "West Side Story", the still version of logo. This surprisingly appears at the end of the TV movie ''Amazing Stories: The Movie II''. | '''Availability:''' Common.

'''Editor's Note:''' A favorite of many, especially for fans of Steven Spielberg's films.
