'''Music/Sounds''': A series of synthesized bells, ending in a "twang" when the circle and thunder meet, composed by John Debney. In other cases, it used the opening/closing theme of the movie or its silent. On some films, such as ''The Color of Money'', ''3 Ninjas'' and ''The Waterboy'', the film's opening score deliberately syncs up with the logo's animation. In later years, the theme was rarely used, at a point that starting in the early 2000s, it was mainly mostly used on [[Spyglass Entertainment]] productions. | '''Music/Sounds''': A series of synthesized bells, ending in a "twang" when the circle and thunder meet, composed by John Debney.

'''Availability''': Common, due to its longevity of nearly 20 years. It's found on many movies produced by the company during this time. It was first seen on ''My Science Project'' and was last seen on ''Shanghai Knights'', released on February 7, 2003, but made one last surprise appearance on ''Veronica Guerin''. This logo wasn't seen at all on ''Gangs of New York'', ''Jerky Boys: The Movie'', and overseas theatrical prints of ''Face/Off'', ''Air Force One'', ''Starship Troopers'', and ''Die Hard With a Vengeance'' (for the latter, co-producer [[Cinergi Pictures Entertainment|Cinergi]] sold most international theatrical rights to Disney/Buena Vista). However, all overseas TV, video, and streaming releases of the former 3 films start with the Buena Vista International logo, while ''Die Hard With a Vengeance'' (save the European [[Touchstone Home Entertainment]] Blu-ray which contains Buena Vista International) only opens with Cinergi. This logo was seen on pre-2006 prints of ''The Nightmare Before Christmas'', though newer remastered prints have it plastered with the 2006 Walt Disney Pictures logo starting with the 3D re-release. It can still be found on pre-2006 DVD and VHS releases of said film. | '''Availability''': Common, due to its longevity of nearly 20 years.

'''Editor's Note''': One of the most iconic logos of the 1980s and 1990s, thanks to its mystical music and memorable animation. | '''Editor's Note''': One of the most iconic logos of the 1980s and 1990s, thanks to its mystical music and memorable animation. | ||
