'''Availability:''' Extremely rare, considering that Roadshow rarely preserved its pre-1992 theatrical logos on home video. Turns up on the [[Umbrella Entertainment (Australia)|Umbrella Entertainment]] DVD of ''The Love Epidemic'' (part of an Ozplotation double feature with ''High Rollin''). It was also probably seen on the earliest prints of ''Mad Max'' and ''The Wanderers'' and also showed up on a 1985 Australian television broadcast of the latter. Strangely, it was also spotted on the Dutch Standard Video release of ''Faces of Death''. Roadshow Films had intended to release the film theatricality in Australia, though the film ended up being banned by the Australian censorship board. How this print ended up on a Dutch video release is unknown. Other films where this might have appeared include ''Beyond the Living Dead'' (also known by such names as ''Return of the Zombies'', ''Terror of the Living Dead'', and ''The Hanging Woman'' elsewhere) and ''Stone''. | '''Availability:''' Extremely rare, considering that Roadshow rarely preserved its pre-1992 theatrical logos on home video.

'''Availability:''' Extremely rare. Was seen in Australian cinemas during this time period. Has turned up on early [[Roadshow Entertainment (Australia)|Roadshow Home Video]] tapes of ''Mad Max'' and ''Megaforce'', though most titles edited this logo out and went straight to the movie. Other films that had this logo in theatrical release include ''First Blood'', ''Scanners'', and ''Gallipoli''. | '''Availability:''' Extremely rare.

'''Availability:''' Extinct. Was only ever seen in Australian cinemas during this time period as VHS tapes cut the logo out and TV channels used the Roadshow Television logo. However, it did appear on TV airings of ''The Miami Connection'' as late as 1997. | '''Availability:''' Extinct.

'''Availability:''' Common outside of North America and Europe, as this is mainly seen in Australian and New Zealand cinemas. The first version is preserved on Fox Classics airings of ''Muriel's Wedding'', the original theatrical trailer of ''The Castle'', some prints of ''The Dish'' and strangely is found in place of the Roadshow Entertainment logo at the end of the 2002 Australian VHS release of ''Cats & Dogs''. The second version is easier to find and can be found on recent Roadshow productions like ''I Love You Too'', ''The Cup'' and most notably ''Red Dog''. | '''Availability:''' Common outside of North America and Europe, as this is mainly seen in Australian and New Zealand cinemas.
