'''Logo:''' On a {{color|darkblue|dark blue}}/{{color|purple}} evening background with {{color|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 (hence the company name) crash into each other, forming a "{{font|Times New Roman|'''T'''}}" in the 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 suddenly grows a pair of wings (if watching in HD, you can easily notice the wings appear on the stallion out of thin air) and "flies" over the "{{font|Times New Roman|'''T'''}}". It zooms out, revealing the stacked words "{{font|Times New Roman|'''TRI STAR'''}}". The text continues to zoom out. A {{color|gold|golden}} 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. | '''Logo:''' On a {{color|darkblue|dark blue}}/{{color|darkviolet|purple}} evening background with {{color|pink}} skies, a splashed white stallion gallops into view coming from the left.

*May 11, 1984-September 20, 1991, January 29, 1993: Scrolling in the end credits is the same exact logo, minus the {{color|purple}} triangle with the {{color|gold}} outline color.

*December 11, 1991-October 16, 1992: The closing variant of the still logo from the movie trailers and the 1991 TriStar Television logo, minus the "{{font|Times New Roman|'''TELEVISION'''}}" rectangular box below "{{font|Times New Roman|'''STAR'''}}" nor "{{font|Times New Roman|'''PICTURES'''}}" below the triangle with the phrase "A TRISTAR RELEASE", minus the hyphen between the TriStar name seen above the logo. Sometimes, the rectangular box is seen below the logo, but it lacks the "{{font|Times New Roman|'''TELEVISION'''}}" text inside it. Starting in late 1992, there is a new version with "{{font|Times New Roman|'''RELEASED BY'''}}" above the logo and the rectangular box has a Sony Pictures Entertainment byline. This was seen on ''Wind'' and ''Candyman''. | *December 11, 1991-October 16, 1992: The closing variant of the still logo from the movie trailers and the 1991 TriStar Television logo, minus the "{{font|Times New Roman|'''TELEVISION'''}}" rectangular box below "{{font|Times New Roman|'''STAR'''}}" nor "{{font|Times New Roman|'''PICTURES'''}}" below the triangle with the phrase "A TRISTAR RELEASE", minus the hyphen between the TriStar name seen above the logo.
