* | *[[International Video Entertainment|IVE]] releases of films from [[Gladden Entertainment Corporation]], along with DVD releases from [[Live Entertainment]] and [[Artisan Entertainment]], generally preserved this logo, but it was removed on the 1987 Media Home Entertainment release of ''Mannequin'' (replaced by the [[Cannon Films]] logo as part of a legal settlement between Cannon and Gladden), the 1991 Live Home Video release of ''Mannequin 2: On the Move'', the Shout!

*It is currently unknown whether this logo was seen on the international releases of ''Legend''. | |||
*Most U.S. VHS releases of ''The Princess Bride'' do not have this logo (with the exception of the 1998 MGM VHS release), as 20th Century Fox only held North American theatrical and television rights. As a result, it can be seen on U.S. TV prints of the film, including the 2021 Disney+ print. Amazon Prime Video prints use MGM masters, and therefore plaster this with the MGM logo.
