'''FX/SFX:''' The stretching ball, the "flash" and the "electricity." Pretty good 2D animation (sometimes 3D during the logo's later years) from [[The Walt Disney Company|Walt Disney Productions]] (now known as [[Walt Disney Animation Studios]]). | '''FX/SFX:''' The stretching ball, the "flash" and the "electricity."

'''Music/Sounds:''' A series of synthesized bells, ending in a "twang" when the circle and thunder meet, composed by John Debney (who also composed the 1985-2006 Walt Disney Pictures logo). In other cases, it used the opening/closing theme of the movie or its silent. On some films, such as ''The Color of Money'', ''Who Framed Roger Rabbit, ''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 Media Group|Spyglass Entertainment]] productions. | '''Music/Sounds:''' A series of synthesized bells, ending in a "twang" when the circle and thunder meet, composed by John Debney (who also composed the 1985-2006 [[Walt Disney Pictures]] logo).

* 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 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).
