'''Visuals:''' On a black background, there are three {{color|gold}} interlocked ITC diamonds but with no letters in them, spinning around. They now appear to be made with a single "ribbon" of metal facing at an upwards angle, appearing that they overlap each other. As they spin around, the letters "{{color|gold|{{Font|Times New Roman|{{Big|'''ITC'''}}}}}}" slide out from the right of it one-by-one, and then shine as the diamonds stop spinning.
'''Visuals:''' On a black background, the ITC diamonds in {{color|gold}}, now appearing to be made with a single "ribbon" of metal facing at an upwards angle, are seen to the left side of the screen as they revolve around clockwise, casting a shadow over the bottom half of them. As they spin around, the letters "{{color|gold|{{Font|Times New Roman|{{Big|'''ITC'''}}}}}}" slide out from the right of it one-by-one, and then shine as the diamonds stop spinning.
 
'''Byline:''' Starting in 1995, after Polygram bought ITC, the byline "{{color|gold|A [[PolyGram Filmed Entertainment]] Company}}" appears below the logo sometimes. This is seen on the Artisan DVD releases of ''Sophie's Choice'', ''The Boys from Brazil'', some TV airings of ''Volunteers'', and a 1997 syndicated print of ''Halloween'' (1978).


'''Variants:'''
'''Variants:'''
* Starting in 1989, an alternate version would start to appear. Here, the logo would be shown smaller and pushed to the left as "{{color|gold|'''Entertainment Group'''}}" appears below by a shining wipe effect after the diamonds stop spinning. The short version has the logo freeze-frame as the text simply appears below.
** On the 1996-97 USA Network series ''The Big Easy'', the ITC Entertainment Group version is seen sped up (after the [[Grosso-Jacobson Productions]] logo) and cuts away to the PolyGram Filmed Entertainment logo (joined in progress; the final part of that logo is seen).
* This comes with or without a registered trademark "®" symbol next to the "{{color|gold|{{Font|Times New Roman|{{Big|'''C'''}}}}}}".

* A variant that features "{{color|gold|'''Presents'''}}" underneath exists, appearing by the same wipe effect as the Entertainment Group version. This appears at the beginning of some ITC productions/releases.
* The closing variant of this logo is bylineless.
* A short version exists where the logo is sped up. The music is also abridged to remove the 3 note tune.
* A variation of the logo that appears at the end of ITC content exists. In it, the logo is sped up, the three notes accompanying the ITC letters sliding out are not heard, the letters do not shine, there is no shimmering sound heard, "Entertainment Group" appears under "ITC" once the diamonds stop spinning, and a different "THUD!" sound is heard at the end. The music for that logo has also been heard on the standard version as well.
* A variation of the logo in which "Entertainment Group" wipes in after the ITC letters shine also exists.
* Another variation of the logo in which "Entertainment Group" wipes in after the diamonds stop spinning also exists as well. Again, the logo is sped up, the three notes accompanying the ITC letters sliding out are not heard, the letters do not shine and there is no shimmering sound heard.
* The later version of this logo has a byline reading "A [[PolyGram Filmed Entertainment]] Company", which is seen on the Artisan DVD releases of ''Sophie's Choice'', ''The Boys from Brazil'', some TV airings of ''Volunteers'', and a 1997 syndicated print of ''Halloween'' (1978).
* On the 1996-97 USA Network series ''The Big Easy'', the ITC Entertainment Group version is seen sped up (after the [[Grosso-Jacobson Productions]] logo) and cuts away to the PolyGram Filmed Entertainment logo (joined in progress; the final part of that logo is seen).
