'''Nickname:''' "The Sphinx"


'''Logo:''' On a black background, a {{color|blue}} moon glows behind an object, as the glowing line increases to reveal the object as the famous Egyptian sphinx. The light dies down to a circle behind the logo, as three lines (resembling as steps) fades-in below the logo, and below them is the text "{{color|blue|'''HOLLYWOOD PICTURES'''}}".

'''Availability:''' Common. Was seen on several films from the studio such as ''Arachnophobia'' (the first film from the studio and the first film with this logo), ''Tombstone'', ''Nixon'', ''Evita'', ''Just Visiting'', ''Stay Alive'', ''Super Mario Bros.'', ''Grosse Pointe Blank'', ''An American Werewolf in Paris'' and ''The Sixth Sense''. Don't expect this on ''The Santa Clause'', as even though it was credited on the film (and was, in fact, originally going to be released under the banner before it was later shifted to the mainline Walt Disney Pictures banner), the logo itself doesn't appear (though the [[Hollywood Pictures Home Entertainment|home entertainment]] print logo shows up on the UK VHS cover). Also appears at the beginning of a UK VHS print of ''Scream 3''.

'''Legacy:''' This logo is probably one of Disney's "black sheep" logos. Some have argued that the Sphinx, a symbol of Egypt, seems questionable for logo for a company called Hollywood Pictures. Others have argued that there's not much animation in this logo. About the only thing agreed on regarding this logo is that the fanfare is very nice.
