Logos[]
1st logo: On a blue background, a white circle made of lines with an "i" inside it flips as it zooms in. The letters "INTERSCOPE COMMUNICATIONS INC." in Korinna also flip towards the camera with the logo.
2nd logo: On a black background, three pieces of the stylized circle with the lower case "i" ease in towards the screen. They slide together to form the logo. As this happens, the word "I N T E R S C O P E" in white slides in from the right and a red line slides in below from the left.
3rd logo: The logo starts off inside a movie studio complete with a camera, a boom, a director's chair and several lights, shown in a purple hue. The camera scrolls down-left and heads towards one of the lights. The hue turns orange and the word "INTERSCOPE" appears and heads towards the light. When the camera goes into the light, the light changes to an oval and the background changes with a flash to purple. As the camera eases back a bit, "C O M M U N I C A T I O N S" appears under "INTERSCOPE" and the oval shines into the stylized circle from the previous two logos, but with the "i" now filled in with a maroon-brown-dark orange-orange gradient. After the shining stops, the 1993 PolyGram Filmed Entertainment logo appears underneath.
Variants[]
- Later in its life, "A PolyGram Company" in the company font appears underneath instead.
- On some prints of Pitch Black, it lacks any PolyGram indication text.
Music/Sounds[]
1st logo: None.
2nd logo: The closing theme of the movie.
3rd logo: Either none or just the opening theme of the movie. Otherwise, an ominous synth pad theme with loud whooshes plays over the logo.
Scare Factor[]
1st logo: Minimal. The flipping can catch one off-guard, but the logo's harmless.
2nd logo: Minimal. The sliding can catch one off-guard, but this don't help with the logo below...
3rd logo:
- Minimal. The "I" flashing in the dark can catch one off-guard, but still, it is quite a tame logo compared to...
- Medium to high for the synth pad theme. The environment could send chills to people, and the whooshes and music can get to some.
