* There is a version which appears on horror and action films (basically, wherever a "rugged" appearance is desired), where the gears and doors are rusted, and the "LIONSGATE" text appears over a hellish {{Font color|red|red}} sky, showing more wear than it does in the standard version. This version is known as "Lionsgate Horror". | *There is a version which appears on horror and action films (basically, wherever a "rugged" appearance is desired), where the gears and doors are rusted, and the "LIONSGATE" text appears over a hellish {{Font color|red|red}} sky, showing more wear than it does in the standard version.

* An extremely rare variant is known to exist where the animation plays as normal, but towards the end of the orchestration the logo begins to shrink. We zoom out to find it is the "H" in the [[THX]] logo, which moves into the bottom left corner a few seconds later, which leads directly into the menu. | *An extremely rare variant is known to exist where the animation plays as normal, but towards the end of the orchestration the logo begins to shrink.

*The new Lionsgate logo was first unveiled on the company's website in late October 2005, and the 2006 logo later debuted on Madea's Family Reunion on February 24 the next year; it can be seen on titles such as ''Akeelah and the Bee'', the ''Tyler Perry'' film series, ''Employee of the Month'', and releases from Pantelion Pictures, among others. The horror version can be seen on the ''Saw'' films starting with ''Saw III'' and ending with ''Saw 3D'', (as well as recent prints of ''II''), ''The Descent'', and action films such as ''The Expendables'', among others. The short version was seen at the beginning of one of the Marvel DTV features, ''The Invincible Iron Man''. The "Heaven" variant was last used on ''The Big Wedding'', and the "Horror" variant was last seen on ''Texas Chainsaw 3D''. It also plasters other companies logos on its titles released by Lionsgate, such as films formerly distributed by Trimark Pictures or Artisan Entertainment. At some cases of plastering older logos on horror movies (like ''The Blair Witch Project'' and ''Leprechaun'' sequels), the normal version appears instead of the preferred horror one. | *The new Lionsgate logo was first unveiled on the company's website in late October 2005, and the 2006 logo later debuted on Madea's Family Reunion on February 24 the next year; it can be seen on titles such as ''Akeelah and the Bee'', the ''Tyler Perry'' film series, ''Employee of the Month'', and releases from Pantelion Pictures, among others.

'''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.

*On current prints of some [[The Weinstein Company|Weinstein Company]] films, namely ''The Nanny Diaries'' and ''Doogal'', 9 seconds of silence fallowed by the theme from that company's logo can be heard due to sloppy plastering (though in both cases, the film's opening score/narration begins near the end of the fanfare, so it would be difficult to try and seamlessly remove). | *On current prints of some [[The Weinstein Company|Weinstein Company]] films, namely ''The Nanny Diaries'' and ''Doogal'', 9 seconds of silence fallowed by the theme from that company's logo can be heard due to sloppy plastering (though in both cases, the film's opening score/narration begins near the end of the fanfare, so it would be difficult to try and seamlessly remove). | ||
