*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". | *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.

*According to Elizabeth Kaye McCall's book ''The Tao of Horses'', the Pegasus was played by "T-Bone", a white Arabian gelding who was trained by Hollywood horse trainer Corky Randall. The Pegasus sequence was filmed at night in an outdoor arena that Randall frequently used. T-Bone, powdered to look whiter, was to run in an especially made L-passage flanked by black curtains. When Randall called him, he galloped through it, and jumped over a fence to reach him, creating the desired effect. | *According to Elizabeth Kaye McCall's book ''The Tao of Horses'', the Pegasus was played by "T-Bone", a white Arabian gelding who was trained by Hollywood horse trainer Corky Randall.

It starts with an ascending and descending back-and-forth piano glissando, followed by a two-note descending xylophone tune, on the last note, the same six opening notes from the last logo begin. 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 (including brass instruments and drums), ending in a very majestic fanfare. | ||
