'''Availability:''' Near extinction. Appeared on films such as ''The Texas Chainsaw Massacre'', ''The Devil's Rain'', Bruce Lee's ''Return of the Dragon'', Andy Warhol's ''Dracula'' and Andy Warhol's ''Frankenstein''. All current DVD releases and TV prints of these films plaster this logo over or go straight to the opening scene; the VCI VHS of ''Dark Star'' also skips this logo. It does, however, appear on the United Home Video VHS, the UK Fabulous Films Blu-ray release of ''Dark Star'', and the Goodtimes DVD release of ''Return of the Dragon''. Interestingly, most recent versions of the latter under the title ''Way of the Dragon'' utilize [[Orange Sky Golden Harvest Entertainment Co. (Hong Kong)|Golden Harvest's]] "international" print featuring the 1978 Golden Harvest logo at the front (the previous [[20th Century Fox Home Entertainment|CBS/FOX]] laserdisc and the 2001 DVD release feature the Golden Harvest logo with a blue background and the Bryanston Pictures music underneath!). | '''Availability:''' Near extinction.
