'''Nickname''': "Hollywood Triumphance" | |||

'''Logo''': On a black background, a blue/yellow flash appears. 10 saturated black and white photographs of celebrities, popular in the New Hollywood era, zoom in on a blue circle outline while a white shine is revolving around the circle. After the last one (Charlie Chaplin) appears, the circle turns sideways revealing an outline of a projector. The shine starts to eliminate the outline and creates a red "A" in its signature design. A filmstrip comes from the bottom and goes next to the "A" forming the outline of the "M". the filmstrip gets removed and makes the "M" red. The same happens for the "C" except it comes from the top of the screen. Several white curved-edged rectangles zoom in around AMC and centers the logo. Stars appear on the bottom forming "THEATRES". A bright light appears on the "A" and "C". "Our Feature Presentation" fades in one by one with the music. That text is also blue. A bright light fades on the "A" and shines along with the "M" and "C". The logo fades to black. | '''Logo''': On a black background, a blue/yellow flash appears. 10 saturated black and white photographs of celebrities, popular in the New Hollywood era, zoom in on a blue circle outline while a white shine is revolving around the circle.

'''Logo''': We start off with live footage of an '80's AMC theater (AMC in its same font as the last logo) with a sign saying: AMC 6 theaters with cars pulling in the parking lot and people walking in. The camera gets a close up into the logo. The camera cuts to AMC in its font from the last logo on a gold sign. It then cuts to a girl in the lobby. Wearing a uniform speaking into the microphone. It then cuts to a couple across from the girl working. It cuts to the movie ticket printing out and a hand grabbing it. The person hands it over to an usher letting them in. It cuts to them buying some popcorn at a stand inside the theater with another worker talking to them. It cuts back to the two who grab the popcorn bucket. It then cuts to a close up of popcorn popping and popcorn in its bucket. The two then walk away with the popcorn and goes inside there cinema. Inside, other people are sitting down from old to young. They then put down their drink and cuts to another couple kissing and a family with a little girl smiling. It then cuts to the screen where A, M, and C fade in time with the music along with the (R) symbol on the side all in chrome. The logo shines while "There is a difference" in cursive is being written below. The logo fades to black and "Feature Presentation" fades in written in cursive and fades out. | '''Logo''': We start off with live footage of an '80's AMC theater ("AMC" in its same font as the last logo) with a sign saying: AMC 6 theaters with cars pulling in the parking lot and people walking in.

'''Variant''': For the previews variant, it animates differently. On a black background, "There is a difference" in cursive fades in one by one. After, it cuts out and starts zooming out from the back of the A from AMC flipped. The logo turns 180 degrees in the same AMC from an angle and a different chrome color shining. PREVIEWS zooms in under the logo and fades to black. | '''Variant''': For the previews variant, it animates differently. On a black background, "There is a difference" in cursive fades in one by one.

'''Logo''': We start off by seeing 10 filmreels, 5 on each side rotating. Text flies by the top of the reels. The camera cuts to the top view of the reels: 2 on the top, 3 on the bottom and the other 5 are flipped on the other side. The text reads: "There is a difference" going in between the reels from right to left. As the text disappears, the reels start separating as the AMC text in a glass outline appears. The camera turns to face the front of the text while a laser draws the outline in red. When the camera stops turning, "Feature Presentation" flies in from the right while a yellow circle with a trail flies in from the right, going through the text. Other yellow dots, circles, and squiggly lines all fly in. The logo shines for a bit while the star at the bottom right corner spins. The logo fades out. | '''Logo''': We start off by seeing 10 filmreels, 5 on each side rotating. Text flies by the top of the reels.
