'''Music/Sounds:''' A series of random, warbly synthesized sounds produced by a Moog synthesizer. It starts with an ascending whoosh, then descending beeping sounds, a loud descending chirp, an array of fast-paced ominous music with a sound that resembles the descending voices of the [[THX]] Deep Note, then warbly sounds that end with a droning synth hum and continuous synth beats and chirps. | '''Music/Sounds:''' A series of random, warbly synthesized sounds produced by a Moog synthesizer.

'''Availability:''' This logo was on the brink of extinction, but now it's rare, as it has started to become more common in the last six years with new restorations and wider availability of the more obscure Bryanston catalogs. Appeared on films such as ''The Texas Chainsaw Massacre'', ''The Devil's Rain'', ''Deep Throat'', 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, while the VCI VHS of ''Dark Star'' also skips this logo. It can be currently seen on ''Lord Shango'', ''The Black Gestapo,'' ''Those Mad'', ''Mad Movie Makers'' (AKA, ''The Last Porno Movie''), and the UK Fabulous Films and VCI Blu-ray releases of ''Dark Star.'' Most recent versions of ''Return of the Dragon'', under it's original title ''Way of the Dragon,'' utilize [[Orange Sky Golden Harvest Entertainment Co.|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 {{color|blue}} background and the Bryanston Pictures music underneath!). This was also reportedly seen on some streaming and TV prints of the theatrical version ''That’s the Way of the World'' (which was originally a [[United Artists]] release and had the 1968 Transamerica T logo on some versions). | '''Availability:''' This logo was on the brink of extinction, but now it's rare, as it has started to become more common in the last six years with new restorations and wider availability of the more obscure Bryanston catalogs.
