'''Availability:''' Extremely rare. Was seen on the 1980 ABC TV movie ''Mysteries of the Sea'', which is very hard to come by as it seems to not have been reran in years and the recording that's available may be from the only airing the film had. | '''Availability:''' Extremely rare.

''' | '''Legacy:''' A very rare PolyGram logo that predates the 2nd one and was only uncovered very recently. It also looks to be the inspiration for the 1982-1991 [[PolyGram Video (UK)|PolyGram Video]] logo. | ||

''' | '''Legacy:''' In spite of its short life-span, this is a very well-renowned logo thanks to its gorgeous atmosphere and impressive CGI for the time. Some users of the CLG Wiki perceive the winged man to be based off of Icarus, the man from the Greek fable who constructed a set of wax wings and tried to fly to the sun before falling in the sea. However, considering the origins of the logo, it's possible that it wasn't supposed to be representative of Icarus. | ||
