''' | '''Visuals:''' On a black screen, two rectangles, one {{color|blue}} and one {{color|orange}}, each one tilted forward at a 45-degree angle (making them appear like the floor and ceiling of a tunnel), shoot out towards the center of the screen. When they both connect at the center of the screen, they tilt back 45 degrees, so that they are facing the viewer completely, and enlarge to fill the screen. In the {{color|blue}} rectangle, which is on the top, we see the 1972 [[Warner Bros. Pictures|Warner Bros.]] "Big W" logo and the words "{{color|orange|WARNER BROS}}". In the {{color|orange}} rectangle, which is on the bottom, we see the words "{{color|blue|ORION}} (in their trademark font) {{color|blue|PICTURES COMPANY}} (in an ITC Avant Garde Gothic font)". After a while, the {{color|blue}} and {{color|orange}} rectangles move to each other's spot, briefly overlapping. "A WARNER COMMUNICATIONS COMPANY" and "present" fade in under "{{color|orange|WARNER BROS}}". | ||

''' | '''Visuals:''' 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. It moves to the left, forms a circle, and spins around until, in a small but bright flash, it forms the letter "O". Then the letters "RION" appear via 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. | ||

''' | '''Visuals:''' Very much the same as the previous logo, but updated with CGI. The starfield behind the logo no longer zooms out as the logo forms, but shoots out towards the screen. The animation is the same, but the stars now have a "trail" that forms the "O", and the forming of the actual logo, including a laser light, forming the line in the logo, is different. The logo itself is now {{color|silver|silvery}} and 3D, and only "PICTURES" appears below the logo in the same font as last time. Inside the "ORION" text is an animated landscape. | ||

''' | '''Visuals:''' Starts similarly to the second logo. As the stars of Orion fade into view, the stars form a circle, but it stays at the center instead of shifting to the left. Additionally, the space background is now more detailed and continues to rotate along with the Orion stars. As the stars form the circle, a {{color|darkviolet|purple}}-{{color|blue}} cloud appears, which quickly turns into a constantly shifting spectrum of color. After a few seconds, the word "'''ORION'''" (now in a completely different font and straight up) emerges from the cloud on a different, far darker space background, lacking the holes in the letters. The dazzling colors then die down and form a backdrop within the letters, as a line slashes through the letters like the second logo and a tiny [[Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios|MGM]] byline fades in underneath the second "O". | ||
'''Trivia:''' The new, colorful design of this logo is intended to correspond with Orion's current focus on underserved minority audiences for films (a "wide spectrum of stories waiting to be told", [https://www.adweek.com/creativity/orion-pictures-modernizes-both-its-visual-identity-and-approach-to-storytelling/# per this ''Adweek'' article]). | '''Trivia:''' The new, colorful design of this logo is intended to correspond with Orion's current focus on underserved minority audiences for films (a "wide spectrum of stories waiting to be told", [https://www.adweek.com/creativity/orion-pictures-modernizes-both-its-visual-identity-and-approach-to-storytelling/# per this ''Adweek'' article]). | ||

''' | '''Visuals:''' On a {{color|blue}} starry background, we see a glowing {{color|dodgerblue|light blue}} man wielding a sword, which resembles that of the mythological Orion. He spins his sword two times, and when he's about to do a third spin, he flashes and stops in a pose reminiscent of the Orion constellation and five {{color|silver}} stars flash on different parts of his body. When this happens, the stacked {{color|gold}} text "{{color|gold|{{font|Times New Roman|'''ORION'''}} P<small>ICTURES</small> C<small>OMPANY</small>}}" flashes underneath. | ||
'''Trivia:''' The logo was done by famed title sequence designer Dan Perri, known for his work on ''Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope'', ''Airplane!'' and ''The Exorcist'', and also designed [[The Samuel Goldwyn Company]] and [[Hemdale Film Corporation]] logos. | '''Trivia:''' The logo was done by famed title sequence designer Dan Perri, known for his work on ''Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope'', ''Airplane!'' and ''The Exorcist'', and also designed [[The Samuel Goldwyn Company]] and [[Hemdale Film Corporation]] logos. |
