'''Visuals:''' On a dark cloudy skyscape is a transparent, crystallized winged man standing against some mountains. The camera pans outward as he jumps up and remains in the air, as his wings move back and forth. The camera pans to his left as he freezes in the air, where several white streaks appear across his body. The silver word "{{color|silver|POLYGRAM}}" flies under the man and centers in place as he flashes white all over and becomes still. "FILMED ENTERTAINMENT" (or "FILMS") appears under "{{color|silver|POLYGRAM}}", and everything shines.

'''Trivia:''' This logo was designed by Michael J. Deas, who painted and designed the 1992 [[Columbia Pictures]] and 1993 [[Merv Griffin Enterprises]] logos, and animated by the London-based Picture Production Company. It was created to coincide with the launch of PolyGram Films, which was to release PFE's big-budget releases in the U.S. The logo was based on the sculpture "Speed" by Harriet Whitney Frishmuth, intended as a hood ornament for cars by the Gorham Manufacturing Company. It may be based on the ancient Greek statue known as ''The Winged Victory of Samothrace''.

* On a promotion seen <u>before the warning screen of the French VHS release of ''Spice World: The Movie'' (1997)</u>, the "FILMED ENTERTAINMENT" variant of the prototype version of the logo appears with a {{color|goldenrod|dark yellow}} tint.

'''Technique:''' CGI.
