===Background===
===Background===
'''Don Simpson/Jerry Bruckheimer Films''' was founded in the 1983 by movie producers '''Don Simpson''' and '''Jerry Bruckheimer'''. Together, the duo had produced some of the most successful films of the 1980s, including ''Flashdance'', ''Beverly Hills Cop I'' and ''II'', and ''Top Gun''. The company didn't use a logo until 1990 on ''Days of Thunder''. When Simpson died in 1996, it was renamed to '''Jerry Bruckheimer Films''', with the logo first appearing on ''Con-Air''. From 1983 to 1990, and again starting in 2014, the studio's films were released by [[Paramount Pictures]] and by Buena Vista Pictures Distribution (later Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures) through its [[Walt Disney Pictures]], [[Hollywood Pictures]], and [[Touchstone Pictures]] units from 1990 to 2013 (although select films were released by [[Columbia Pictures]] and sister company [[Screen Gems Pictures]] and [[Warner Bros. Pictures]]).
This is '''Jerry Bruckheimer'''<nowiki/>'s production company after Don Simpson died in 1996 renaming [[Don Simpson/Jerry Bruckheimer Films]] to '''Jerry Bruckheimer Films''', with the logo first appearing on ''Con-Air''. From 1983 to 1990, and again starting in 2014, the studio's films were released by [[Paramount Pictures]] and by Buena Vista Pictures Distribution (later Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures) through its [[Walt Disney Pictures]], [[Hollywood Pictures]], and [[Touchstone Pictures]] units from 1990 to 2013 (although select films were released by [[Columbia Pictures]] and sister company [[Screen Gems Pictures]] and [[Warner Bros.

'''Logo:''' We start with {{color|skyblue|sky blue}} clouds moving across the screen. Two bolts of lightning then strike and converge at the bottom as the clouds instantly turn {{color|orange}}. The screen zooms out in a box on a black background, as the text "{{color|red|{{Font|Times New Roman|DON SIMPSON/JERRY BRUCKHEIMER FILMS}}}}" is revealed at the bottom of the screen.
'''Variants:'''
* A print version exists.
* An early version just has the company name.
* In the logo's later years, it is shortened and the text is smaller.
* There exists a version without the text.
'''Technique:''' Appears to be live-action footage mixed with 2D animation.
'''Music/Sounds:''' Just the sounds of lightning. On ''Top Gun: Maverick'', the opening theme of the movie is heard without any sounds at all.
'''Availability:''' Uncommon.
* In its original run, the logo was seen on some films from 1990 until 1996, including ''Days of Thunder'', ''Crimson Tide'', ''Dangerous Minds'', and ''The Rock''.
* Following Simpson's death, however, Bruckheimer has opted to retain this logo on sequels to films he originally produced with Don Simpson when he was still alive, presumably out of respect; with the logo reinstated for ''Bad Boys II'', ''Bad Boys for Life'', and ''Top Gun: Maverick''.
* The version without the lightning box was on a teaser trailer for ''Days of Thunder'', which can be found on the 1990 Paramount VHS release of ''Black Rain''.
