Variant: On Madame in Manhattan, the positions of the words "RKO" and "NEDERLANDER" are swapped, making it "NEDERLANDER V RKO".

Technique: Just the logo fading in.

Audio: None.

Availability: It was last seen on the TV broadcast of the Broadway musical Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street from 1982. The Nederlander/RKO version is present on the aforementioned special, which was last seen on Showtime.
