Lionsgate Films: Difference between revisions

* A shorter version starting from the zoom out through the keyhole exists.

* A variant is known to exist where the animation plays as normal, but towards the end of the orchestration the logo begins to shrink. The logo zooms 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.

'''Technique:''' CGI by [[Devastudios]]. It can be seen [https://www.devastudios.com/work/logo/lionsgate-legacy/ on their site].

* The THX variant directly fades the end of the Lionsgate theme into the second half of the THX "Deep Note" (more specifically the 2005 "Science of Sensation" version), which includes the whoosh from that logo before fading out early.

* On prints of ''King Kobra'', the music was reorchestrated with no whoosh effects to it and less drum beats from the final version.

'''Availability:'''

* The variant fading into the THX logo is only known to exist on the 2006 THX Optimum Resolution DVDs; which include ''Total Recall'' (1990), ''The King of New York'', ''Stargate'', and ''Belly''.

* This logo was also seen on [[Disney Junior|Disney Junior]] airings of ''Spookley the Square Pumpkin'' from the mid-to-late 2010s, but was edited out a few years later.

'''Legacy:''' Well-regarded by the logo community for its CGI and concept.

* Current prints of [[Trimark Pictures]] films from 1990 to 1994 occasionally have the text "A DIVISION OF VIDMARK INC." after the logo, which is likely mistaken to be a plastering error instead of having a parent company.

* A 30fps version exists in USA On Demand prints of ''Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard'', due to an unknown conversion to high frame rate.

'''Technique:''' CGI from Devastudios, who also did the previous logo. It can be seen [https://www.devastudios.com/work/logo/lionsgate/ on their site].

* On current prints of some [[The Weinstein Company|Weinstein Company]] films, there are a few seconds of silence followed by the theme from that company's logo due to sloppy plastering (in some of these cases, the film's opening score/narration begins near the end of the fanfare, so seamless removal would be tough).

* On the Kino Lorber Studio Classics Blu-ray release of ''Backtrack'' (The Director's Cut version of ''Catchfire'' (1990)), it once again has the finishing of the ending theme, this time is followed by the theme from the 1987 [[Vestron Video]] logo, possibly another case of plastering error.

** It has been spotted in current international prints of ''TMNT'' (2007), since The Weinstein Company distributed that film internationally, although a mention of TWC is still retained in the opening credits. The still Lionsgate closing logo is also added after [[Warner Bros. Pictures]]' closing logo.

* This is also used as a de-facto home video logo on LGHE and LGFE (and starting in 2017, ex-[[Anchor Bay Entertainment|Anchor Bay]] titles as well as on DVDs of Starz programs released by Lionsgate, the [[Starz Originals]] logo shows up after the DVD menu) releases since mid-2013. It also appeared on the final [[HIT Entertainment]] releases from 2013-2014 before [[Universal Pictures Home Entertainment]] took over later that year.
