Availability: Seen on pre-1991 Vestron releases; in 1991 Live Entertainment took over the company, and post-1991 Vestron releases began using the 1988 IVE warning. The early version was only used with the first Vestron logo, which is fairly rare, but it was spotted as late as 1991, such as a few Marvel Comics releases on VHS put out by Best Film and Video Corp. It was also used in tandem with the second Vestron logo (with the copyright variant). Surprisingly enough, the black variant appears on the 1990 Hi-Tops Video release of Madeline, preceding the 1987-1992 Media Home Entertainment warning.
