'''Mandalay Pictures''' (also known as '''Mandalay Vision'''; formerly '''Mandalay Entertainment''') is a film production studio founded in 1995 by producer Peter Guber, a year after leaving as head of [[Sony Pictures Entertainment]]. It is named after the city of '''Mandalay''', Myanmar. The company also operates a [[Mandalay Television|television arm]]. In 1997, [[Lionsgate Films]] purchased Mandalay and owned it until 2003, when it became independent again.  

In 2008, Mandalay formed an independent division and later in 2011, it was changed to '''Mandalay Vision'''. Since 2008, Mandalay and its divisions have been owned by the Mandalay Entertainment Group.

*On <u>''The Fan''</u> (the first film from the company), the logo starts after the stylized tiger has fully formed. The international release starts with the normal long version instead (prior to the [[TriStar Pictures]] logo, instead of the other way around).

*Starting in <u>1999</u>, the word "{{font|Serif|P I C T U R E S}}" replaces "{{font|Serif|ENTERTAINMENT}}".

*Sometimes, there is <u>nothing below the name</u>.

*During the Lionsgate ownership from 1999-2003, a byline reading <u>"A LIONS GATE COMPANY"</u> is shown below.

*On <u>''Never Back Down''</u>, the text "{{font|Serif|I N D E P E N D E N T P I C T U R E S}}" is seen below the logo.

*An in-credit version appears at the end of <u>''Into the Blue''</u>.

*There is a <u>shortened version</u> of the logo where it begins with the tiger emerging from the jungle.

**Some films from the division have "V I S I O N" in a white font. In addition, the {{color|orange}} on the stylized tiger is slightly a goldish brown.

*On <u>''Paul, Apostle of Christ''</u>, the logo shares the screen with the ODB Films logo.

The Vision variant appears on films such as ''The Kids Are All Right'', ''Soul Surfer'', ''Vanishing on 7th Street'', ''Bernie'' and ''The Voices''.
