Background: Republic Pictures Television was the television division of Republic Pictures originally formed in 1986 after National Telefilm Associates bought the company name and logo reforming the company. As far we know, they didn't actually used a proper logo, just the Republic Pictures logo, silent, and in some cases, bylineless.
1st Logo
(1986-1987)
Nicknames: "The Eagle", "The Eagle in the Sky"
Logo: Same as the 1986 Republic Pictures logo, but the words reads as "Distributed by REPUBLIC PICTURES" in a either a yellow or yellow-orange Times New Roman font.
FX: None.
Music/Sounds: Silent.
Availability: Extinct. Was seen on Press Your Luck! (now owned by FremantleMedia) and 80s prints of Car 54, Where Are You?. If the latter title appears on television again, it'll probably have either Republic Pictures 1992 or 1995 logos, the 1995 or 2003 Paramount Domestic Television logos, the 2006 CBS Paramount Television logos (either "Eye in the Sky" or "Wallpaper") or the CBS Television Distribution logo plastering it.
Scare Factor: None.
2nd Logo
(1987-1990)
Nicknames: "The Eagle II", "Enhanced Eagle"
Logo: We see the Republic eagle on a mountain with clouds on the bottom with "REPUBLIC PICTURES" underneath.
FX: None.
Music/Sounds: Silent.
Availability: Extinct. Was only seen on the TV series Beauty and the Beast, which has been plastered in favor of the CBS Paramount Television logo on DVD.
Scare Factor: None.
3rd Logo
(1992-1995)
Nicknames: "The Eagle III", "The Silent Eagle", "The Restored Eagle"
Logo: On a blue sky background, we see the Republic eagle with the words "REPUBLIC PICTURES" at the bottom, with a Registered trademark Symbol.
FX/Cheesy Factor: The name fading in. Otherwise, just a still logo.
Music/Sounds: Silent.
Availability: Although plasters old logos, it's rare. Can be seen on the pre-1973 NBC catalog (including Bonanza and Little House on the Prairie, the latter premiering in 1974), and most of the Quinn Martin produced shows; but still saved on Bonanza VHS and DVD releases and when reran on TV Land, predecessing the 1995 Paramount TV logo. Also, it was seen on international prints of Get Smart.
Scare Factor: Low.
4th Logo
(1995-1998)
Nicknames: "The Eagle IV", "The Silent Eagle II", "CGI Eagle"
Logo: It's the finishing animation of the 1995 Republic Pictures logo, with "REPUBLIC PICTURES" fading in.
FX: The camera zooming in the eagle and the name fading in, or none.
Music/Sounds: The second half of the Republic jingle from the era. Also might be silent.
Availability: Again, rare, but seen on The High Chaparral when it was reran on The Family Channel in the 90s and Hallmark Channel from 2002-2003, and also on Kindred: The Embraced.
Scare Factor: Low.
