'''Logo:''' On a {{font color|#FFD900|yellow}} background, two {{font color|red|red}} parallelograms (or lines) come from the top and bottom of the screen, and the upper one is at a distance while the lower is closer. They fly towards each other, and the higher moves forward while the lower backs away. As they do so, they grow in length and wrap around a space where a {{font color|red|red}} dot appears, forming a stylized "{{font color|red|'''''S'''''}}". Under that, the text "'''SCREEN GEMS'''" zooms in. | '''Logo:''' On a {{font color|#FFD900|yellow}} background, two {{font color|red|red}} parallelograms (or lines) come from the top and bottom of the screen, and the upper one is at a distance while the lower is closer.

* This logo has gained a relatively large cult following (even transcending the core closing logo community), due to its notoriety for scaring some viewers (particularly children). This is mostly due to the animation and Siday's early Moog stinger, which has been described as "creepy"<ref>http://www.milanofamily.org/scrngems/scrngems.htm</ref> and "horrifying"<ref>https://mfqreviews.medium.com/once-upon-a-time-in-hollywood-is-quentin-tarantinos-ultimate-love-letter-to-60s-cinema-and-bare-edeab9ef10a4</ref>. Commonly referred to alongside other "scary" logos, such as the [[Viacom]] "V of Doom", [[VID (Russia)|VID]]'s "Mask of Guo Xiang", [[Klasky-Csupo]]'s "Super Scary Face", [[Paramount Television (1967-2006)|Paramount Television]]'s "Closet Killer", and [[THX]]'s "Deep Note". Its notoriety was even enough to spawn a short mockumentary in 2010 called ''The S from Hell'', as well as get featured in a particularly tense scene in Tarantino's ''Once Upon a Time in Hollywood''. | * This logo has gained a relatively large cult following (even transcending the core closing logo community), due to its notoriety for scaring some viewers (particularly children), earning it's nickname, the "S from Hell".
