'''Availability:''' Pretty rare. Warner Bros. has a poor habit of plastering their logo over this one, while Universal leaves it intact most of the time. It can be still be seen on ''Escape to Victory'' and ''Tank'' after the 1963 Universal logo. The first VHS, and recent DVD/Blu-ray of ''The Last Starfighter'' retain it after the Universal logo, but was plastered with the WB shield on old full-screen TV airings, and the 1997 Universal logo on the 1999 DVD release. Don't expect to see this on ''An Officer and a Gentleman'', which Lorimar produced but Paramount financed. | '''Availability:''' Pretty rare. | ||

'''Availability:''' Quite rare considering the logo's short lifespan in addition to the rampant plastering habits of Warner Bros. However, this is retained on the Warner Archive DVD-R of ''Orphans'', the Warner Archive Blu-ray of ''Running On Empty'', and the Columbia TriStar/Sony Entertainment DVDs and 88 Films UK Blu-Ray of ''Two Moon Junction'' (RCA/Columbia released the film on VHS/Laserdisc, since Lorimar only had theatrical distribution rights). This was originally seen on films such as ''The Boy Who Could Fly'', ''The Morning After'', ''Big Shots'', ''The Fourth Protocol'', and ''Made in Heaven''. ''Return of the Living Dead Part II'' also had this logo, but with Warner's plastering habits, it got plastered on the 2004 DVD release (it is presumed, though, that the recent Scream Factory Blu-Ray release restores it since it will also feature a new 4K restoration).

'''Editor's Note:''' Could be too bright for some at the beginning, but it's a decent logo. At least they tried something different. | '''Editor's Note:''' Could be too bright for some at the beginning, but it's a decent logo. At least they tried something different. | ||
