Background
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 Communications on January 19, 1999 and is currently owned by ITV Studios Global Entertainment, a subsidiary of ITV plc.

Variants:
- A version with "distributed by" in a blue font above the Icarus exists, which is seen on 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 "distributed by" in a blue font above the Icarus also exists, which was seen on a full-screen SBS airing of Countryman (1982).
- The print version is seen in the closing credits of the Nick Jr. cartoon Maisy and the 1998 TV movie Outrage.

- The regular version is intact on the mini-series The Billionaire Boys Club (originally produced by ITC) on DVD from A&E Home Video and on the pilot of The Crow: Stairway to Heaven (however, the DVD release of that show plasters it with the 1998 Universal Worldwide Television logo on the rest of the series).
