'''Availability:''' Seen on films of the era such as ''Stardom'', ''Metroland'', ''Mr. Jealousy'', and ''The Eyes of Tammy Faye''. Also seen on the trailers for ''Buffalo '66''. This appeared on the teaser of ''The Rules of Attraction'' (the movie used the next logo).

'''Editor's Note:''' A pretty simple effort, though not a bad one.

'''Availability:''' Common. Seen on Lions Gate films from the period. Don't expect this to appear films merely released by them such as ''O'' and ''Lantana''. It appears on some early Lions Gate and late period [[Artisan Entertainment|Artisan]]/[[Trimark Home Video|Trimark]] DVD releases as a de facto home video logo as well; some examples of this include the two-disc edition of ''Step Into Liquid'' and a reprint of ''All of Me''. The AMEX variant appears on films such as ''Wonderland''. It makes a surprise appearance at the end of the TV movie ''Student Seduction''.

'''Editor's Note:''' This is a quite nicely-animated logo, aside from the typeface mix-matching problem. "LIONS" and "FILMS" are set in Bernhard Modern, and "GATE" is set in ITC Garamond. This might stick out very much to some; others might not notice unless they look close enough.

'''Availability:''' Uncommon. Can be seen on films such as ''The Punisher'', ''A Love Song for Bobby Long'', ''Crash'' (not to be confused with the 1996 erotic thriller starring James Spader and Holly Hunter), the English version of the French film ''High Tension'', the 2006 film ''Minotaur'', and the first two ''Saw'' films (recent prints of the second film however, plasters this with the horror version of the 5th logo). This also plasters the [[Kings Road Entertainment]] logo on the current releases of ''Kickboxer III: The Art of War'' (including the double feature DVD release with ''Kickboxer IV''), and the [[Trimark Pictures]] logo on the 2005 "This is a Special Edition You Schmuck" DVD of ''Swimming with Sharks''.

'''Editor's Note:''' This logo is nowhere as noteworthy as the previous two logos, due to its short lifespan and simplicity.

'''Availability:''' Extremely rare. This was only used for a very short time. Can be found on ''In the Mix'' (not to be confused with the [[Public Broadcasting Service|PBS]] series of the same name), and ''Undiscovered''. Also seen on current prints of ''Love and a .45'' (1994) and some older prints of ''Pi'' (the 1998 Darren Aronofsky film). Don't expect to this logo to appear on ''Hostel'' and ''Saw II'', as they use the previous logo instead.

'''Editor's Note:''' With this logo, Lionsgate truly stepped up their game, producing an excellently-animated logo that still stands the test of time years later. The majestic fanfare in the normal logo (albeit shortened) would later be reused for the 4th logo's [[Lionsgate Television|television division]] after the logo was retired.

'''Editor's Note:''' Another wonderfully-animated logo. While not as liked as the previous logo, it's still a great way to pay tribute to the original two logos.
