===1st Logo (February 9, 1976-May 1, 1985)===

Regal Films (1982).png|Normal version

Regal Films (1976, in-credit).png|In-credit variant

 

'''Variant:''' An in-credit variant exists where the lion is designed more realistically, but is still carrying his wand. Below him is a circle that features the map of the Philippines with an abstract symbol on it.

'''Audio:''' A few pizzicato notes as the camera zooms out, and then a few more as the lion walks up to the throne. There is a pause as the lion turns to face the camera, immediately followed by a brief swelling of strings that, as the lion waves its wand, crescendos into a bright, regal-sounding fanfare (the melody of which sounds bizarrely similar to that of "London Bridge is Falling Down") that ends on a long note.

'''Availability:''' It appeared on Regal Films releases from the 1970s to the mid-1980s. Examples include ''Dear Mama'' (1984) and ''Ang Leon, Ang Tigre at Ang  Alamid'' (1979).

===2nd Logo (June 18, 1985-January 1, 1993)===

'''Visuals:''' {{color|Red}} clouds move atop the background of some mountains and a city (presumably Quezon City), and thunderbolts appear. The words "'''REGAL FILMS'''" (in the Windsor font, colored white and having a 3D effect) are revealed when the clouds move away. A moon fades in, and clouds (represented as black silhouettes) move behind it. A {{color|red}} fat capital "'''R'''" bearing a striking resemblance to the Renaissance Hotels logo with a {{color|gold|yellow}} crown on top of it, fades in. The entire background fades out except for the "'''R'''", which then rapidly zooms towards the camera (a la the Viacom "V of Doom"), filling the entire screen with {{color|red}}.

* In <u>1991</u>, the sky was {{color|blue}} instead of red. On some films with this variant, the R was also darker.

*On <u>current and YouTube prints of ''Inday, Inday sa Balitaw''</u>, the logo has a cyan-greenish tint, with the "R" being in {{color|orange}}.  

'''Availability:''' It can be seen on Filipino films released by the company from this time period like ''Scorpio Nights'' (1985), ''Tiyanak'' (1988), and ''Secrets of Pura'' (1991).

'''Legacy:''' The logo is notorious for having the "R" zoom in a la Viacom's "V of Doom", its synth themes, the thunder and its overall atmosphere. This is especially apparent, as this appeared on non-horror films. As such, it is commonly given the unofficial nickname of "R of Doom". This does fit in well with horror films from the company, however.

===3rd Logo (January 12, 1993-February 9, 2000)===

'''Visuals:''' On a space background, there is a {{color|gold|golden}} filmstrip taking up most of the screen. The filmstrip then starts moving very fast to start the transformation of the crown. {{color|Gold}} squares fill up the holes and fly off the filmstrip as it starts to form a circle. As the filmstrip forms the circle, the crown starts to form, the points expand to finish the crown's main structure. The gold squares return to finish the crown. As the crown is still spinning, the squares form the bottom ring and the crown's top point tops. The crown stops spinning as a large ray of light shines out of the bottom void of space. The ray of light fills up the whole screen and disappears, leaving behind the text "REGAL FILMS", displayed in a thin, white, and spaced-out font.

'''Visuals:''' On a black background, while many fireballs surround the screen, a filmstrip moves in a pattern while the camera moves up towards it. The filmstrips become an "'''R'''", the fireballs disappear, and the "'''R'''" turns from {{color|gold}} to {{color|limegreen|lime green}}. As the logo zooms toward the center of the screen, five fireballs fly to the top of the "'''R'''" and form the crown, which makes the Regal "'''R'''" logo complete. The words "'''R'''EGAL '''E'''NTERTAINMENT, '''I'''NC." (in a font that looks somewhat like Matisse ITC) fade in. A fireball flies across this text, which turns a light gold/brown. The finished logo shines.

* It was first seen on the theatrical trailer for ''Sige Subukan Mo'' and made its last appearance on ''Mano Po 6: A Mother's Love'', albeit as a custom variant.

===5th Logo (48 Years) (November 19, 2008-December 28, 2009)===

'''Visuals:''' The logo starts with a light flare on a {{color|darkviolet|purple}} background, which turns out to be a purple rectangle with a black square underneath. The R from before swivels and places itself on the rectangle, with the crown placing on top of the R, as if it were crowned. The text "REGAL ENTERTAINMENT, INC". also places underneath the completed logo, while the number "48" places under the text. Sparkle dusts create the white outline of the logo, then "YEARS" appears with an {{color|orange}} flare under the number "48". The finished product flashes a few times.

'''Availability:''' It can be found on ''One True Love'' (2008), ''Desperadas 2'' (2008), ''When I Met U'' (2009), and ''Shake, Rattle, and Roll X'' (2008) and ''OMG (Oh, My Girl!)'' (2009).

===6th Logo (50 Years) (March 26, 2010-August 22, 2018)===

'''Visuals:''' On a {{color|red}}/white blurred background, the Regal logo from before, now {{color|gold|golden}}, appears, moves and rotates to the center, with its crown spinning. When the R places itself, the crown stops rotating after a few seconds. The text "REGAL ENTERTAINMENT INC." and "'''''50''' Years''" fades in below.

'''Visuals:''' On a black background, the camera zooms out to a {{color|gold|golden}} crown with {{color|red}} and white jewels a la the Red Crown Productions logo. The text "REGAL" places itself under the crown letter by letter as it spins. When it finishes, a light flare appears, making the logo shine, and "Entertainment, Inc." wipes in upward underneath the text.

'''Availability:'''  The standard variant of this logo debuted on the trailer of ''Recipe for Love'' (2018) (albeit without animation), then on the film itself. The prototype variant debuted on ''The Hopeful Romantic'' (2018) (the first movie to use this logo while the trailer uses the 2010 logo). It is also seen on television productions such as ''Gen Z'' on TV5 and the now defunct One Screen, ''Mano Po Legacy: The Family Fortune'', ''Regal Studio Presents'' and ''Raya Sirena'' on GMA Network, and ''FPJ's Batang Quiapo'' on Kapamilya Channel, A2Z, Cine Mo and TV5.
