The 1985 logo.
Logos[]
1st logo: On a blue background, we fade in on a king’s throne (adorned with a red carpet and some steps leading up to it) with a white curtain hanging behind it. The camera zooms out a little as an animated, anthropomorphic lion, wearing a small yellow crown and a robe, appears from the right, slowly walking toward the throne. Upon reaching it, he turns to face us, revealing that he is holding a wand in his right paw (although it looks more like a baton or a drumstick). The lion raises his arms and proceeds to swoop the wand above his head from left to right, leaving behind a line of sparkly magic dust which quickly dies down and morphs into the golden words “REGAL FILMS, INC.” Pleased with his work, the lion, wand still in paw, sits down on his throne, just like a king. Not too long after, the white word “PRESENTS” appears in a smaller font under the company name.
2nd logo: Red clouds move in the background, and thunderbolts appear. The words "REGAL FILMS" (in a 70s-era print press font (probably ITC Corinna)) are revealed when the clouds move away. A moon fades in, and clouds (represented as black silhouettes) move behind it. A red fat capital "R" (that looks suspiciously like the former logo for the Renaissance hotel chain), with a yellow crown on top of it, fades in. The entire background fades out except for the "R", which then rapidly zooms towards us in a fashion similar to the infamous Viacom V of Doom, filling the entire screen with red.
Variants[]
- A warped version exists.
- Sometimes, the logo is seen more dark and scratchy.
- A version with more whiter clouds also exists.
- In 1991, the sky was blue instead of red. On some films with this variant, the R was also darker.
- On Pinulot ka lang sa lupa and 1+1+12=1, the logo is extended.
- Strangely on Shake, Rattle, And Roll XIV: The Invasion, the logo fades out without King R logo zooming in before the current logo.
3rd logo: On a space background, there is a golden filmstrip taking up most of the screen. The filmstrip then starts moving very fast to start the transformation of the crown. 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 light fill up the whole screen and disappears, leaving the thin white text, "R E G A L F I L M S".
Variants[]
- Sometimes, the logo is on a black outer space background.
- A short version exists.
- A warped version exists.
4th logo: On a black background, while many fireballs surround the screen, a filmstrip moves in a pattern while we move up towards it. The filmstrips become an "R", the fireballs disappear, and the "R" turns from gold to 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 "REGAL ENTERTAINMENT, INC." (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.
Variants[]
- On Tiyanaks, the "R" with the company name are frozen and seen through the lens. This follows the RMI logo also customized for the film.
- A short version exists.
- On Gigil, the "R" is colored pink where fireworks flys on the top forms the crown the word "REGAL ENTERTAINMENT INC." in a different font and shines.
5th logo: On a red/white blurred background, the Regal logo from before, now golden, appears, moves and rotates to the center, with it's 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.
Variants[]
- In 2013, the logo was remade and it now features a purple light/filmstrip background. Also, the company's name is in the Times New Roman font.
- A warp speed version for the 2013 variant also exists.
- On White House, the "R" is made of stone, the text is white and "50 Years" is in a script font. The only animation here is the camera movement. This follows the customized RMI logo for the film.
- Pridyider has the logo without "50 Years" and it's frozen (not like the Tiyanaks variant of the previous logo).
- OnSuper Inday And The Golden Bibe (2010),the "R" and the Crown are pink.
- On Die Beautiful, the logo is still.
6th logo: TBA.
Music/Sounds[]
1st logo: 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 us, 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 sounding bizarrely similar to that of “London Bridge is Falling Down”) that ends on a long note.
2nd logo: Starting in 1987, a horror-themed synth piece with a few odd sounds thrown in. Also, you can hear the thunderbolts/"castle thunder" at the beginning of the logo.
Music/Sounds Variants[]
- Films released in 1985-1987 had a dramatic synth fanfare.
- On Abandonada, the opening theme was used.
- On Sgt. Clarin: Bala para sa ulo mo, you can hear synth zaps and whooshes.
- On Tiyanak, you can hear thunder at the end, which turns out to segue into the opening theme.
- On Isang araw walang Diyos, it starts with a loud thunder noise, then followed by a dramatic choir which segues into the opening theme of the movie.
3rd logo: A dramatic piano tune, along with some whooshes, which ends on a long orchestral note.
Music/Sounds Variants[]
- On Baby Love, the opening theme of the movie was used.
- Early Films uses the MAQ Productions inc theme exists
- A version without whooshes exists.
- On The Myrna Diones Story: Lord Have Mercy, a majestic fanfare that contains the elements of long orchestral note before whooshes from the normal fanfare is used, this music carries over to Golden Lions Films If you listen closely, you can hear the normal fanfare play in reverse.
- On Guwaping Dosand Kung Ako'y Iiwan Mo (1993),a wind sound is heard on the normal logo.
- On Ms. Dolora X, it starts with a loud jet engine-like sound before the main music plays as normal.
4th logo: A majestic fanfare, or the opening theme of the movie.
Music/Sounds Variants[]

- On The Fatima Buen Story, it uses the 1993 music due to poor reverse plaster. It is unknown if it's on VHS or DVD.

5th logo: None, or the opening theme of the movie.
Music/Sounds Variant[]
On You're Still The One, a dreamy calm theme is heard.

Scare Factor[]
1st logo: None to medium. The limated animation, the fanfare, and the choppy lion and his stare may make some people nervous, but it's a pretty good logo compared to the next one...
2nd logo:
- Original: Low to high; the fanfare can catch people off-guard due to how loud it is. However, the outright cheesiness of the logo could offset this.
- 1987 variant: Medium to nightmare, because of the fonts, the clouds, the "R" zooming in a la the V of Doom, the creepy themes, the thunder, and the overall eerie atmosphere.
- Sgt. Clarin: Bala para sa ulo mo Variant: High to nightmare; it depends on what you think of the whooshes and zaps, which can be even scarier.
- Blue Clouds/Sky and White Clouds Variants: Medium to high. We still have that R and the creepy music, but the brighter color tones down the scare factor.
- Abandonada Variant: Minimal to high, since the theme's calming mood makes it much less scary. However, we still have the ominous atmosphere.
- Isang araw walang Diyos Variant: Nightmare, as the louder thunder and dramatic choir make the logo even less friendly.
3rd logo: Low to medium. The music and flashes as well as the fast movement may get to some, but it's a lot more calmer than the previous logo.
4th logo: Low to medium. While some might be scared by the fireballs and the "R" changing color, it's a very good logo, and a huge improvement over the 2nd Regal Entertainment logo.
5th logo: None.
6th logo: TBA.
