'''Availability:''' It's one of the first de-facto video logos, alongside the [[20th Century-Fox Video]] logo. It was seen on several CPHE and early RCA/Columbia releases from the era, like ''The Black Bird'' and ''Hard Times'' (themselves Columbia films), ''Love and Anarchy'', ''The French Detective'' and ''One Sings, the Other Doesn't''. Columbia releases by itself, as well as the VHS of ''Diana Ross in Concert'' skipped the logo and went straight to the Columbia logo used by the film. |
