'''Availability:''' Most shows that had this logo have been updated with either the "V of Steel" or "Wigga Wigga" logos, or those of Paramount Domestic Television, CBS Paramount Domestic/Network Television, or CBS Television Distribution. However, newer variants might be seen on local stations that show older Viacom shows, such as ''The Honeymooners'', ''I Love Lucy'', ''The Andy Griffith Show'', ''Rawhide'', ''Hogan's Heroes'', ''The Twilight Zone'', and ''Gomer Pyle: U.S.M.C.'' All variants of the "V of Doom" (with the exception of the "V of Pinball" until evidence is found) can be seen on VHS tapes of ''The Andy Griffith Show'' released by various video outlets such as Premier Promotions and sometimes (though mostly the videotaped variant) by [[UAV Corporation]]. | '''Availability:''' Most shows that had this logo have been updated with either the "V of Steel" or "Wigga Wigga" logos, or those of Paramount Domestic Television, CBS Paramount Domestic/Network Television, or CBS Television Distribution.

** Older broadcasts of ''Wacky Races'', ''The Perils of Penelope Pitstop'', ''Josie & The Pussycats'', ''Speed Buggy'' and ''The Alvin Show'' ended with this logo; 16mm prints of at least the former two shows retain the logo. It is unknown whether it appeared on ''The Banana Splits and Friends Show'', ''Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!'' or ''Space Ghost and Dino Boy'' reruns from the era (apparently, for the latter, Hanna-Barbera's World of Super Adventure cut the logos.) Again, check old 16mm prints. | ** Older broadcasts of ''Wacky Races'', ''The Perils of Penelope Pitstop'', ''Josie & The Pussycats'', ''Speed Buggy'' and ''The Alvin Show'' ended with this logo; 16mm prints of at least the former two shows retain the logo.
