'''Availability:''' Extremely rare; seen on tapes of ''Steve Allen’s Music Hall'', early ''Hopalong Cassidy'' tapes such as ''Silent Conflict'' and ''The Marauder'', and classic films issued by the company under the "50s THEATRE" banner. These tapes were packaged in the same white clamshells as tapes from Walt Disney Home Video. This was also seen on the 1985 VHS release of the film ''Midnight Madness'' (produced by Disney, but without their name) and early compilations of ''The Ray Bradbury Theater'' (later releases of that show came from HBO Video and were reprinted in turn by Congress Video). | '''Availability:''' Extremely rare; seen on tapes of ''Steve Allen’s Music Hall'', early ''Hopalong Cassidy'' tapes such as ''Silent Conflict'' and ''The Marauder'', and classic films issued by the company under the "50s THEATRE" banner.

'''Availability:''' Rare. Seen on the original 1998 VHS of ''Kiki's Delivery Service'' before and after the opening previews (the NTSC 2003 VHS uses the 2001 [[Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment|Walt Disney Home Entertainment]] logo and that release's PAL version uses the 2nd Buena Vista Home Entertainment logo), and was set to appear on the (eventually scrapped) 1999 VHS release of ''Castle in the Sky''. It also made appearances on the 2002 DVD releases of ''Spider-Man: The Ultimate Villain Showdown'', ''Spider-Man: The Return of the Green Goblin'', and ''David Blaine Fearless'', all of which used the next logo on their VHS releases. It made a surprise appearance on the 2005 DVD set of ''Home Improvement: The Complete Third Season''; the other DVD sets of ''Home Improvement'' use the 2002 logo. | '''Availability:''' Rare.
