'''Logo</u>: On a dark blue/purple evening background with pink skies, a splashed white stallion gallops into view coming from the left. When it gets really close, three stars coming from the left, right, and bottom of the screen crash into each other, forming a "{{font|Times New Roman|'''T'''}}" in Didot font (the same font used for the CBS text as CBS was one of the joint owners of Tri-Star until 1985). The stallion grows a pair of wings and flies over the "{{font|Times New Roman|'''T'''}}". It zooms out, revealing two more letters: "{{font|Times New Roman|'''R'''}}", and "{{font|Times New Roman|'''I'''}}", and below it is the word "{{font|Times New Roman|'''STAR'''}}" reading the stacked words, "{{font|Times New Roman|'''TRI STAR'''}}". The text continues to zoom out. A yellow outline of a triangle zooms out with the spaced-out word "{{font|Times New Roman|'''PICTURES'''}}" under it, surrounding the text and the background. As this happens, the triangle outline reveals an abstract drawing of a Pegasus "jumping" over the logo.

* According to then-TriStar head Victor Kaufman: "One of the advisers in creating the company was Sydney Pollack, who was a famous director and actor, and he helped us put together the logo. The horse for the TriStar logo was the horse from ''The Electric Horseman'', which he directed and made with Robert Redford. And the horse from ''The Electric Horseman'' was a dark horse, so he transposed the horse to look white, and put it on the screen, and created a Pegasus and created ... the music and everything ..."

* This logo was spoofed on the ''Family Guy'' S4 episode "Petergeist", where it shows Joe Swanson riding his wheelchair instead of the Pegasus, and it says "JOE SWANSON THEATRES" instead of "TRI STAR PICTURES".

* On films shot in 2.35:1 (anamorphic Panavision), the abstract triangle and Pegsaus zooms out further back to accommodate the wider ratio. On VHS and full-screen DVD releases, they might use the full image or use the pan-and-scan version of the zooming Pegsaus by (1.) the screen focusing on the Pegasus when it appears and suddenly shifting when it jumps over the "T", (2) the screen following the Pegasus or (3), the screen starting in the middle and the Pegasus appears shortly before it jumps over the "T". On two Carolco movies in the aforementioned format (in this case, shot in Super 35), ''Deepstar Six'' and ''Air America'', the standard logo is stretched to fit the ratio.

* May 11, 1984-September 20, 1991, January 29, 1993: Scrolling in the end credits would have the same exact logo, minus the purple triangle with the gold outline color. Above the logo has the phrase "A TRI-STAR RELEASE". On some films such as ''The Natural'', ''Johnny Handsome'', ''The Freshman'', and ''Sniper'', the "A TriStar (or Tri-Star) Release" phrase is below the logo. ''Flashpoint'' has the "A TRI-STAR RELEASE" text on the right of the logo. The movie ''Sweet Dreams'', being produced by [[HBO in association with Silver Screen Partners|HBO/Silver Screen Partners]], has the text "Presented by HBO Pictures in association with Silver Screen Partners" above the Pegasus-over-Pyramid and the "A TRI-STAR RELEASE" text below. ''Made in U.S.A'' (produced by [[Hemdale Film Corporation|Hemdale]]) has the text "Released through Tri-Star Pictures".

'''Music/Sounds</u>: An orchestrated piece done by Dave Grusin. As the horse gallops into view, three low French horn notes play and they repeat. When the Pegasus flies over the "T", more enlightening trumpets play and are combined with the trombone. For the logo formation, a loud brass fanfare is played.

'''Logo</u>: We start out on a black background. Then we see part of a dark background, which slowly fades in and brightens to reveal that it is made up of dark cumulonimbus clouds with fog on the bottom. A white flash of light then starts to glow and gets bright, as it almost fills the background. A Pegasus appears from the far distance, as it spreads its wings out and takes a few steps, causing the fog to flow. "TRISTAR", in a shiny gold chiseled bold font, slowly fades in at the top of the screen with the letters "T" and "S" in a bigger font that the other letters as the flash dims away slowly. The Pegasus stops when its wings are fully spread out and the "TRISTAR" text fully appears. The text slowly shines as the fog still flows and the Sony byline fades in from starting in 1995.

* During this logo's early years, on movie trailers and commercials, when the Pegasus is spreading out its wings, the "TRISTAR" text is fully transparent, rather than fading in as in the regular version. Also, it doesn't shine.

The Pegasus is placed inside a box, with a cloud background overlapping the top. Its wings overlap both ends of the box. Below the logo is the phrase "A TRISTAR RELEASE", or "RELEASED BY" above the logo with the SPE byline underneath. Sometimes, "A TRISTAR RELEASE" isn't there. Sometimes, it's bylineless.

'''FX/SFX</u>: The light beam forming the Pegasus, the unfolding wings, the fog flowing, the text fading in and shining. A very professionally-done combination of live-action film (the Pegasus, the cloud background, both filmed separately) and computer animation (the light beam, the wings, the text, the fog).

'''Music/Sounds</u>: It starts with an ascending and descending back and forth piano glissando, followed by a three-note xylophone tune, on the last note, the French horns playing the same six opening notes from the last logo begins. Between the third and fourth notes, there is a delay filled with a four-note tuba tune. The music rises in intensity as we hear more and more instruments come in, ending in a very majestic fanfare. This was composed by Bill Johnson. Starting with the film ''Godzilla'', released on May 20, 1998, the fanfare has been rearranged.

'''Logo</u>: After the 2014 Sony logo transitions to this logo, we see the cloud formations of the previous logo shrouded in darkness, with a cerulean blue background partially illuminated by the bottom half of the screen. Then, a light shines up from the center and the clouds and background brighten, turning into full daylight. The clouds here are pure white and more ethereal in design, compared to the more realistic, golden clouds from the last logo. Just as the clouds light up, we see a white stallion gallop out from the glowing light towards us, with the light fading out shortly afterwards. The stallion opens its wings as it runs out, revealing itself to be a Pegasus; and once it stops running towards the screen, it stands up on its hind legs, showing off its full wingspan in the process. Once it has done this, the "TRISTAR" text from the previous logo (only more golden) fades in, then the byline "a Sony Company" from the previous logo fades in after that.
