Availability: The first time the logo was used was in the poster for Jungledyret Hugo 2, however, the logo didn't appear in the movie, it's on-screen debut was on original prints of When Life Departs, even though it's hard to find, (newer prints plastered it with the 2nd logo). It was also seen during the end credits of Help! I'm A Fish (Including the CD-ROM game), and in a Unicef PSA against kidnapping and child trafficking made by Jørgen Lerdam.
