Logo: On a black background, an orange "H" spins first, then comes a blue "E" spinning, a yellow "M" spinning, a green "D" spinning, a pinkish purple "A" spinning, a red "L" spinning and a blue "E" comes spinning last and they all turn white. After they turn white, the letters spread that reveals "HEMDALE" and then a rainbow line appears between and "FILM CORPORATION" below the line. On some films, the word, "PICTURES" would be in place in the word "FILM". | Logo: On a black background, an orange "H" spins first, then comes a blue "E" spinning, a yellow "M" spinning, a green "D" spinning, a pinkish purple "A" spinning, a red "L" spinning and a blue "E" comes spinning last and they all turn white.

FX/SFX: The colorful letters turning white, the spreading. On the trailers, the spinning intro is cut and the rest of the logo just plays. | FX/SFX: The colorful letters turning white, the spreading. On the trailers, the spinning intro is cut and the rest of the logo just plays. | ||
Music/Sounds: A 7-note synthesizer piece when the letters spin: C (H), G (E), High C (M), F (D), B flat (A), High F (L) and High G (E), composed by Joel Goldsmith (son of famed composer Jerry Goldsmith). It also has a synthesizer going off like an alarm in background. Then follows by a nature-oriented | Music/Sounds: A 7-note synthesizer piece when the letters spin: C (H), G (E), High C (M), F (D), B flat (A), High F (L) and High G (E), composed by Joel Goldsmith (son of famed composer Jerry Goldsmith).

Availability: Rare. Retained on films such Hidden Agenda, Shag, the GoodTimes DVD release of Wrangler (also known as Outback and originally known as Minnamurra), and on the 1993 Hemdale Home Video VHS release of Little Nemo: Adventures on Slumberland; it's unknown if this appears on the Discotek Blu-Ray's U.S. opening credits bonus feature. On a few MGM DVD releases of their output, such as Miracle Mile, it is plastered with the 2001 MGM logo, though it is present on the recent Kino Lorber DVD and Blu-ray releases. This appears on the 2000 MGM DVD release of At Close Range, plastering the 1982 Orion Pictures logo, as well as on the TGG Direct DVD release and the Twilight Time Blu-ray after the MGM and Orion Pictures logos. This also plasters the Orion Pictures logo on all 1991-2001 home video releases of The Terminator (the Orion logo would be reinstated when the rights reverted to MGM). The silent variant can be seen on Vincent and Theo (though on a 2011 This TV airing, the jingle was present), and Bright Angel. It was also spotted on a Hemdale Home Video reprint of Soultaker. It also appeared on the original theatrical release of Cohen and Tate, but the Nelson Entertainment video release omits it while the MGM DVD-R and Shout! Factory Blu-Ray release have the Nelson Entertainment logo in its place (though it is intact on the theatrical trailer on the DVD-R, the Blu-Ray's trailer has the Nelson logo with its jingle). | Availability: Rare.
