'''New World Pictures''' was founded by B-movie legend Roger Corman in 1970. However, they did not use an on-screen logo until 1976. In recent years, Roger Corman has reissued parts of the pre-1984 New World library on VHS and DVD on his own [[Concorde Films|New Concorde Home Video]] label (Corman left New World in 1984). Shout! Factory has been re-releasing and releasing films previously unreleased on DVD for pre-1984 New World films, but some have also seen releases from Scorpion Releasing and Code Red, under license from Corman himself.
