'''Logo:''' We see the horizon of the earth surrounded by clouds as it zooms away from us. Stars fly past us as they form a lion constellation based on the first two logos. As soon as the constellation forms, it is seen reflected on the "S" of "LIONSGATE" in 3-D lettering as the word flies past through the clouds from the fifth logo. A light shines through the "S" and the "G" as the name is revealed in a {{Font color|darkblue|deep blue}}. The clouds swoop away, leaving the light. | '''Logo:''' We see the horizon of the earth surrounded by clouds as it zooms away from us.
