===Background===
===Background===
[[Lorimar Television|Lorimar Productions]] began to produce movies in 1971, starting with the independent film ''The Sporting Club''. Later on, the company acquired the [[Allied Artists Pictures Corporation|Allied Artists Pictures]] library in 1980 when said company went under, but it didn't have its own movie arm until April 21, 1986 when [[Lorimar-Telepictures]] was formed by the merging of Lorimar with Telepictures, forming "Lorimar Motion Pictures." In January 1987, Lorimar Motion Pictures was renamed Lorimar Film Entertainment. On January 11, 1989, Lorimar was acquired by Warner Communications and its film unit was absorbed into [[Warner Bros. Pictures|Warner Bros.]] Today, most of the Lorimar movie releases, with the exceptions of ''The Choirboys'', ''The Last Starfighter'' and ''Tank'' (Universal), ''An Officer and a Gentleman'' (Paramount), and ''The Toxic Avenger Part II'' (Troma), are currently held by Warner Bros. Entertainment.

'''Editor's Note:''' Could be too bright for some at the beginning, but it's a decent logo. At least they tried something different.

===3rd Logo (September 9, 1988-August 24, 1990)===
'''Logo:''' Technically more of an in-credit text. After 1988, Warner Bros. distributed Lorimar films and placed their 1984 logo in front of the prints. After the WB shield appears, either on a black background or in front of the main titles, we see the text "LORIMAR FILM ENTERTAINMENT PRESENTS" in the style of the credits font.
'''Variant:''' On ''Dangerous Liaisons'' (1988), the text reads "A LORIMAR FILM ENTERTAINMENT PICTURE".
'''FX/SFX:''' None.
'''Music/Sounds:''' Usually, the main title music plays over it.
'''Availability:''' Considering this is an in-credit logo, it won't be hard to find compared to the first and second logos. Examples include ''Running on Empty'' (with the 2nd logo preceding it), ''Dangerous Liaisons'' (1988), ''Second Sight'', ''Penn and Teller Get Killed'', and ''The Witches''. The latter film later omitted the Lorimar text and replaced it with "Warner Bros. presents"; both versions are available.
'''Editor's Note:''' None.
