*On ''C.H.O.M.P.S.'', it has a majestic fanfare.
*On the [[MGM Home Entertainment|MGM DVD]] of ''Bucktown'', it uses the last half of the 1997 Orion Pictures theme, even though the latter logo precedes the AIP logo. This is one of the strangest editing errors ever known.

*On the separate PAL DVDs of ''The Evictors'' (which is available as a bonus movie on the [[Shout! Factory]] DVD of ''The Town That Dreaded Sundown'', which has the regular version instead), the logo is heard with the 1995 MGM roar, hence the nickname "Roaring AIP" that coincides with "The Roaring Paramount Mountain" on a foreign TV airing of ''Braddock: Missing in Action II'', as well as the Universal Pictures variant on select foreign prints of ''Conan The Destroyer'' and ''Firestarter''.

'''Availability:''' Common on most AIP films from the era, usually proceeded with the MGM and/or Orion logo on home video releases such as ''Black Caesar'', ''Hell Up in Harlem'', ''Truck Turner'', ''Sugar Hill'', ''Coffy'', ''Foxy Brown'', etc. However, some DVD releases of movies such as ''Bucktown'', ''Breaker! Breaker!'' and ''Joyride'' get iffy with the logo. On the early '90s [[GoodTimes Entertainment|GoodTimes]] VHS release of ''Breaker! Breaker!'', the logo was replaced with the abridged 1988 [[Orion Home Video]] logo and the DVD print only has the MGM lion and the start of the film. The VHS and DVD releases of ''Bucktown'' replace it with the Orion Pictures logo (1982 logo on VHS, 1997 logo on DVD) and the DVD of ''Joyride'' only has the MGM logo. The closing version is sort of uncommon as it often had it in the style of the credits, but it's intact on the DVD releases of ''Black Caesar'' and ''Hell Up in Harlem'', as well as the Goodtimes VHS release of ''Breaker! Breaker!''. Don’t expect this to appear on the 1994 [[Image Entertainment|Image]]/[[Orion Home Video]] Laserdisc of Meteor as this logo is plastered by the 1984-1998 [[Warner Bros. Pictures|Warner Brothers]] Logo.

'''Editor's Note:''' This is probably the most well-known logo from AIP, as it was in use for 9 years.
