'''Music/Sounds:''' A baroque-sounding synthesized harpsichord piece in C-minor. Sometimes it is silent.
'''Audio:''' A baroque-sounding synthesized harpsichord piece in C-minor. Sometimes it is silent.


'''Availability:'''  Was seen on films of the time frame such as the 1970s ''Carry On'' films among others, but has fallen to plastering to other studios' logos due to ownership changes. It was recently spotted intact on the Amazon Video viewing of ''The Amazing Mr. Blunden''. It was thought to be intact on the UK home media releases of ''Tommy'' (1975), but the 2001 UK DVD has the 1998 [[Universal Pictures|Universal]] logo, while the 2007 SE DVD and 2014 Blu-Ray have the 1976 [[Columbia Pictures]] logo as per the U.S. releases. The 1986 variant appeared on films of the time period but has fallen to plastering with the 2001 [[Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios|MGM]] logo or the 1982 [[Orion Pictures]] logo. The only places where that version is seen fully intact are on the trailers for ''The Belly of an Architect'' and ''High Season''.

'''Availability:''' Seen on ''Howling II: ... Your Sister is a Werewolf'', which is preserved on the 2005 [[MGM Home Entertainment|MGM]] DVD release and the 2015 [[Shout! Factory]] DVD and Blu-Ray releases. Also seen on trailers for Hemdale films of the time frame, such as ''Salvador'' and ''A Breed Apart''. It is rumored that this logo appeared in place of the 1982 [[Orion Pictures]] logo on international theatrical prints of ''At Close Range''.

'''Music/Sounds:''' A seven-note synthesized brass piece when the letters spin: C (H), G (E), High C (M), F (D), B flat (A), High F (L) and High G (E), composed by Joel Goldsmith (son of Jerry Goldsmith). It also has a synthesizer going off like an alarm in the background. Then follows by a nature-oriented synthesized note with a  synthesized magic-like shining sound when the letters spread, followed by a majestic horn fanfare with bells mixed in it which becomes synthesized, ending with 3 orchestra hits. Sometimes, the logo is silent.

'''Music/Sounds Variant:''' On ''Shag'', a different bell tone along with the 3 orchestra hits omitted from the original fanfare was heard.   
'''Audio Variant:''' On ''Shag'', a different bell tone along with the 3 orchestra hits omitted from the original fanfare was heard.   


'''Availability:'''  Retained on notable films such ''Hidden Agenda'', ''Shag'', the [[GoodTimes Entertainment|GoodTimes]] DVD release of ''Wrangler'' (also known as ''Outback'' and originally known as ''Minnamurra''), and on the 1993 [[Hemdale Home Video]] VHS release of ''Little Nemo: Adventures in Slumberland''; it's unknown if this appears on the [[Discotek Media|Discotek]] Blu-Ray's U.S. opening credits bonus feature. On a few [[MGM Home Entertainment|MGM]] DVD releases of their output, such as ''Miracle Mile'', it is plastered with the 2001 [[Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios|MGM]] logo, though it is present on the recent Kino Lorber DVD and Blu-Ray releases. This appears on the 2000 MGM DVD release of ''At Close Range'', plastering the 1982 [[Orion Pictures]] logo, as well as on the TGG Direct DVD release and the Twilight Time Blu-ray after the MGM and Orion Pictures logos. This also plasters the Orion Pictures logo on all 1991-2001 home video releases of ''The Terminator'' (the Orion logo would be reinstated when the rights reverted to MGM). The silent variant can be seen on ''Vincent and Theo'' (though on a 2011 This TV airing, the jingle was present), and ''Bright Angel''. It was also spotted on a Hemdale Home Video reprint of ''Soultaker''. It also appeared on the original theatrical release of ''Cohen and Tate'', but the [[Nelson Entertainment]] video release omits it while the MGM DVD-R and [[Shout! Factory]] Blu-Ray release have the [[Nelson Entertainment]] logo in its place (though it is intact on the theatrical trailer on the DVD-R, the Blu-Ray's trailer has the Nelson logo with its jingle). It is unknown if the logo was spotted on the theatrical release of ''The Last Emperor''; the logo is not seen on the Nelson Entertainment VHS release of the said film. Additionally, this logo is also not seen on TV spots of said film as well, as they feature the 1981 [[Columbia Pictures]] logo instead.
