*Sometimes, it had a dark and dramatic piano tune with an ominous synth. This was on ''Dream Lover'', ''Spike Lee's Drop Squad'', ''Foreign Student'', ''I'm Not Rappaport'', and ''Double Dragon''.

Availability: The original version is uncommon. Appears on Gramercy films from the era, including ''Dazed and Confused'', ''Grace of My Heart'', ''Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Movie'', ''Mallrats'', U.S. theatrical prints of ''Double Dragon'' (removed from most home media releases, including the MCA/Universal VHS, though it's also intact on Amazon Prime Video print; might also be on the recent Blu-Ray by MVD Visual), and ''Commandments'', among others. The Gramercy/PolyGram combo is preserved on MGM prints of ''Dream Lover'', ''Posse'', ''A Home of Our Own'', ''Candyman 2: Farewell to the Flesh'', ''Romeo Is Bleeding'', ''Canadian Bacon'', and ''Dead Man Walking''. In the case of PolyGram films, the print logo appears on VHS/DVD covers of some of their films. It is supposedly intact on some streaming prints of ''Fargo''. It is unknown if this appears on any prints of Steven Soderbergh's ''King of the Hill'' (1993). The enhanced version is extremely rare. It can be found on the VHS of ''Going All the Way''. The still version can be found on several USA PolyGram trailers from the time, such as ''Bean'', ''The Big Lebowski'', ''Elizabeth'', ''The Last Days of Disco'', and ''Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels'', among others. Don't expect to see this on most PolyGram features released after September 12, 1997, as most releases will plaster it with the Universal logo, while earlier releases will use international prints which have the PolyGram Filmed Entertainment logo; ''The Last Days of Disco'' is an exception, as earlier releases retain this and the Castle Rock Entertainment logo which follows. Current prints of said film, however, plaster the combo with the Focus Features logo.

<u>Editor's Note:</u> This is a very nice logo, with some good animation (which is improved even more in the 1997 variant) and a memorable concept.
