'''Logo:''' We first see a starry sky, then a constellation of stars (in the shape of Orion, appropriately) in the middle shine brighter than the rest. It moves to the left, forms a circle, and spins around until, in a small but bright flash, it forms a letter "O". Then the letters "RION" appear by a sliding effect to complete the logo, which is stylized when a line is drawn across it. The traces of the line remain on the left side of each letter except the "I", which has the line across the word. "{{color|deepskyblue|An}}" and "{{color|deepskyblue|PICTURES RELEASE}}" appear above and below the logo accordingly. | '''Logo:''' We first see a starry sky, then a constellation of stars (in the shape of the constellation Orion, appropriately) in the middle shine brighter than the rest.

* This logo was parodied on the 2010 ''Family Guy'' episode "April in Quahog", where Adam West punches the constellation ("Take that, Orion!") to form the logo without the additional text and with a little synth jingle. Adam says, "That's right, all you are is a failed production company!" | * This logo was parodied on the 2010 ''Family Guy'' episode "April in Quahog", where Adam West punches the constellation ("Take that, Orion!") to form the logo without the additional text and with a little synth jingle.

* On the 2002 [[MGM Home Entertainment|MGM DVD]] release of ''UHF'', if you listen to the commentary, it has "Weird Al" Yankovic sing lyrics to the jingle ("Orion, Orion is bankrupt now!"). This references how Orion nearly killed themselves by releasing the film the same year that many popular franchises were releasing new films. | * On the 2002 [[MGM Home Entertainment|MGM DVD]] release of ''UHF'', if you listen to the commentary, it has "Weird Al" Yankovic sing lyrics to the jingle ("Orion, Orion is bankrupt, now!").
