Line 23:
'''Variants:'''
* A version with "{{color|blue|distributed by}}" in a {{color|blue}} font above the Icarus was put onto some feature films and television shows from the ITC and Epic libraries; the animation for this variant is also slightly different, apparently based off the long movie logo, with the word "TELEVISION" not zooming out (instead it simply fades in under the PolyGram text) and the shining of the Icarus is also different, with less of a "glow" around it.
** A version without "{{color|blue|distributed by}}" in a {{color|blue}} font above the Icarus also exists as well, which appears on a full-screen SBS airing of ''Countryman'' (1982)
* The print version was seen in the closing credits of the Nick Jr. cartoon ''Maisy'' and the 1998 TV movie ''Outrage''.
* There is a variant which replaces the "{{color|blue|TELEVISION}}" text with "{{color|blue|VISUAL PROGRAMMING}}".
Line 39:
* It also appeared on the ultra short-lived ''Motown Live!'' as well as the third season of ''Due South''.
* This also appeared on Netflix viewings of ''The Lunatics''.
* The "VISUAL PROGRAMMING" variant can be found on ''Cats'', the 1998 UK VHS releases of ''More Adventures at the Faraway Tree'' and ''The Adventures Of The Wishing Chair'' from [[Tempo Video]], at the start of the 1999 UK VHS release of ''Introducing... Maisy!'' from PolyGram Video and some prints of ''The Best Bits of Mr. Bean'', respectively.
* The in-credit print version is still seen on ''Maisy'' episodes from the era on Peacock.
* The in-credit print version was also seen on the TV movie ''Outrage'' (1998), which can be found on DVD and a Virgin Media Two airing.
* This logo also appears on Shout! Factory TV's print of the 1979 TV movie ''Friendly Fire''.

In 1995, PolyGram Filmed Entertainment (the second incarnation of PolyGram's film division) entered the television business by acquiring ITC Entertainment Group. In 1997, ITC was folded into a new incarnation of PolyGram Television, which retained most of ITC's staff and produced series mainly for the U.S. syndication market as well as continuing ITC's focus at the time on made for TV movies, in addition to operating a visual programming division for live musical videos and children's series. However, this incarnation had an extremely short lifespan, as with the first incarnation, due to PolyGram's acquisition by Seagram and its merger with Universal Studios. PolyGram TV was folded into Universal Television in 1999, as the unit was renamed to Universal Studios Network Programming. In 2002, Vivendi, by that time the corporate parent of Universal, re-acquired the entertainment assets of USA Networks, resulting in Universal Worldwide Television (the renamed PolyGram TV) being folded into Studios USA Television and being renamed under the Universal name, effectively shutting down the former ITC for good. NBCUniversal Syndication Studios is the current distributor of the PolyGram Television library. However, the ITC library was bought by Carlton International Media on January 19, 1999 and is currently owned by ITV Studios Global Entertainment, a subsidiary of ITV plc.
Visuals: Same as its film counterpart (the short videotaped variant, also used by the PolyGram Video logo), except with "TELEVISION" replacing "FILMED ENTERTAINMENT".
