'''Logo:''' Similar to the 1980s New World Pictures logo, we see rows of bars turning inward extremely close to the camera, from bottom to top. A spotlight lights up the background behind them. The spotlight fades as it zooms out to reveal the V in sky blue with a orange sheen on the left (different from the official logo). "VILLAGE ROADSHOW PICTURES" fades in below in an orange color. | '''Logo:''' Similar to the 1980s [[New World Pictures]] logo, we see rows of bars turning inward extremely close to the camera, from bottom to top.

'''Availability:''' Very common. It first appeared on ''Practical Magic'', and was later seen on many movies produced by Village Roadshow from the era such as ''Cats & Dogs'', ''Three to Tango'', ''Happy Feet'', ''Zoolander'', and ''No Reservations'', among others. Although the last film to use the original variant was ''The Lucky One'', it later made a surprise appearance on ''American Sniper'' (albeit a variant).
