'''Closing Variant:''' Similar to the 1993 [[Columbia Pictures]] and [[TriStar Pictures]] logos, the print "Spiral S" is on the right with "'''SCREEN GEMS'''" stacked on top of one another on the left and the byline "'''A Sony Pictures Entertainment Company'''". | '''Closing Variant:''' Similar to the 1993 [[Columbia Pictures]] and [[TriStar Pictures]] logos, the print "Spiral S" is on the right with "'''SCREEN GEMS'''" (in a slightly different font) stacked on top of one another on the left and the byline "'''A Sony Pictures Entertainment Company'''". | ||
'''FX/SFX:''' The light and the spinning tops, all in stunning CGI that's made this logo a favorite of logo fans who have seen it. It was done by Bryan Thombs and Miles Vignol at Helium Productions. | '''FX/SFX:''' The light and the spinning tops, all in stunning CGI that's made this logo a favorite of logo fans who have seen it.

'''Logo:''' We start out high in the sky. The camera turns and ascends through layers of clouds. Eventually the clouds clear and we see a CGI {{Font color|blue|blue}} letter "S". The camera continues to turn and zoom out, slowly revealing the name "SCREEN GEMS" which fades in with the smaller byline underneath it, in the same vein as the previous logo. The camera continues to ascend and zoom out, revealing the same trademark "Spiral S". It seems to be made out of glass, refracting the blue of the sky (rather than being blue itself). As the camera comes to a stop, the blazing sun is positioned exactly behind the bottom half of the "Spiral S", with the clouds forming a plane under the logo. The finished product looks similar to the 2006 version of the 1993 [[Columbia Pictures|Columbia]] logo, the studio's corporate sister, complete with rainbow-like circles around the sun. | '''Logo:''' We start out high in the sky.

'''Trivia:''' This logo was based on artwork by Buffy Cutler in association with Picturemill, who was commissioned to create a new Screen Gems logo for ''Friends with Benefits''. Some of the other candidates he produced are [https://www.behance.net/gallery/10729055/Screen-Gems-Studio-Logo here], and appear to have been inspired by the 1965 Screen Gems logo. | '''Trivia:''' This logo was based on artwork by Buffy Cutler in association with Picturemill, who was commissioned to create a new Screen Gems logo for ''Friends with Benefits''.

'''FX/SFX:''' The camera moving, the clouds blowing in the wind, the text and logo fading in and reflecting their surroundings. It's all very nice CGI by Picturemill. | '''FX/SFX:''' The camera moving, the clouds blowing in the wind, the text and logo fading in and reflecting their surroundings.
