<u>Availability:</u> Extremely rare. Current prints of the films will likely have either the American distributors' logo or an ITV logo. Films that had this logo usually only had it on the original United Kingdom prints. Films that originally had include ''Gregory's Girl'' and the ''Space: 1999'' films ''Destination: Moonbase Alpha'' (where this logo debuted), ''Alien Attack'', ''Cosmic Princess'', ''Journey Through the Black Sun'' and ''Invasion: UFO''. This could be on UK theatrical prints of ''The Muppet Movie'', ''The Last Unicorn'', ''The Big Sleep'', and ''Saturn 3''. This logo may have been seen on pre-certification VHS releases by ITC Home Video. The silent variant made a surprise appearance on a February 2020 UKTV Drama airing of ''Gregory's Girl''. | <u>Music/Sounds Trivia:</u> The music was sourced from two separate tracks from the Bruton Music library, "Destiny" (composed by Keith Mansfield) and "Endeavour" (composed by John A. Coleman). "Destiny" was also used for the [[MGM/UA Home Video]] coming attractions bumper, and "Endeavour" appears in the 1980 [[Gold Key Entertainment]] logo. | ||
