Most current prints of films released during this period are plastered by any of the newer Gaumont logos (mainly the 10th and 11th ones). It is surprisingly intact on the TeleMünchen German DVD of ''Le Guignolo'', and it can be found on the film ''Violette & François'', which can be found on YouTube (albeit with the first half of the logo cut off and the second half's beginning plagued by VHS artifacts). It can also be seen on ''La Foiles Des Grandeurs''. | ||

From 1990 onwards on most films, it used a dramatic orchestral opener followed by a majestic fanfare, also heard on the next logo below. The 1990 variant also had the 6th and 7th logos' music, but lower pitched. | ||

The first version can be found on the Celebrity Home Entertainment/Just for Kids releases of ''Asterix vs. Caesar'' and ''Asterix in Britain''. Gaumont is plastering their older logos on any new prints of their titles (with mainly the 10th and 11th logos), such as on the Region 2 DVD releases of the former two ''Asterix'' films. However, it makes appearances on the French R2 DVD of ''The Party'', and the 2000 Image Entertainment DVD of ''The Twelve Chairs'' after the 1984 CBS/FOX Video logo (it uses a video master made from a European print). The 1990 version has been spotted on the Fox Lorber DVD of ''The Last Metro'', the R1 Criterion DVD of ''And The Ship Sails On'', TCM airings of ''Danton'', and early French DVDs of ''La Femme Nikita'' and ''Robin Hood: Men in Tights''. | ||

'''Availability:''' Uncommon. The full version can be seen on the director's cut of ''Léon: The Professional'' (the original United States release print replaced it with the Columbia Pictures logo), ''Just Visiting'', ''Me Myself I'', and international prints of ''The Fifth Element'' and ''Dracula: Dead and Loving It''. In the United States, the short version appeared as a logo for Gaumont Multimedia on the animated series ''Sky Dancers'', ''Dragon Flyz'', ''Space Goofs'', ''The Magician'', and ''Oggy and the Cockroaches''. This does not appear on more recent episodes of the latter series, instead being replaced by the Xilam logo. This also plasters older Gaumont logos on recent prints of their films, such as ''My Father's Glory''. | '''Availability:''' Uncommon.
