'''Availability:''' Extremely rare. It was a placeholder logo and was seen on Vestron VHS, Betamax, and some Laserdisc releases of the era, like ''The Changeling'', ''Rodan'', ''Good Guys Wear Black'', ''The Last Chase'', ''The Silent Partner'', ''The Greatest Adventure'', ''The Cannonball Run'', ''Nothing Personal'', ''Go Tell the Spartans'', and ''Godzilla, King of the Monsters''. The 1982 release of ''Benji'' doesn't use a logo. Also appears on some late '80s reissues of their releases, including ''Fort Apache: The Bronx''. This also appears on the laser videodisc editions of some of their earliest releases, including ''The Private Eyes'', even after the next logo was introduced.

* Ultra rare for the closing variant; it appears on all 3 volumes of ''How to Beat Home Video Games'' (the first volume has the first copyright stamp, while the second and third had the second copyright stamp) and on the original VHS of ''Young Doctors in Love'', both at the beginning and the end of the VHS.

* This makes very strange appearances on the Lionsgate DVD of ''Irreconcilable Differences'', the Full Moon/Echo Bridge releases and a Movies4Men (now GREAT! Movies Action) airing of ''Trancers'', a Hulu print of the animated ''Animal Farm'', the Artisan DVD of ''Shadows Run Black'', and HBO's broadcasts of ''Ghoulies'' (from May 1986) and ''Re-Animator'' (from January 1987), which probably used transfers from Vestron's laserdisc/video masters.

* On the 2003 Artisan DVD of ''Bride of Re-Animator'', this makes a surprise appearance, and the same goes for the Lionsgate DVDs of ''Personal Services'', ''Ironweed'', ''Slaughter High'', a TCM airing as well as a Amazon Prime print (the latter even appearing after Live Home Video's warning screen!) of ''Dead Sleep'', VUDU, Amazon Prime and Tubi's prints of ''Sex Appeal'' and ''Warrior Queen'', at the end of a FEARnet airing of ''The Gate'', and an Encore Suspense airing of ''The Bedroom Window''.

* This also makes a strange appearance on the MGM DVD of ''Basic Training'', before the 1995 MGM logo; the MGM logo, however, probably plasters over the [[Moviestore Entertainment|Movie Store]] logo.

'''Legacy:''' An excellent logo from Vestron to send off before its revival, which has beautiful CGI that has aged very well over the decades.
