Yes, the transfers for home video have been pretty bad.
Always looked overly sharpened and very like 'video'. The trailers always looked great and conveyed a different mood.

I don't believe we had a distributer logo at the front in the UK, Just the Cinergi Pictures ident.
Face / Off was the same with it just being black where the music would have started over the Paramount logo.
It stood out in this case as it lasted about 30 seconds before anything appeared on screen.
This changed in both cases on the home video releases.
