Logo[]
(2001-2007, 2010-): On a cloudy blue background, curved metal bars fly by. As it zooms out, it's revealed to be a gyroscope. During the zoom, there are flashes of light. "REVOLUTION" flashes in in front of the gyroscope. As the logo rests in its position, "STUDIOS" flashes in under "REVOLUTION". The letters shine and the globe shimmers.
Variants[]
- After the end credits of Punch-Drunk Love, there is a montage which has shortened versions of this and the New Line Cinema logo.
- There is also a short version based on the last second of the logo.
- A still version can be seen on the two Hellboy Animated movies, where the gyroscope doesn't reflect the blue background and the background is less cloudy.
- On some movies such as Radio and Little Man, the logo looks sped up at the beginning, and when "STUDIOS" flashes under, the logo fades out.
- In xXx: Return of Xander Cage, the first film to use this logo in a decade, the logo has a bluish tint and starts when the gyroscope zooms out. At the end of the movie, the logo is still.
- In Next (2007), the gyroscope briefly transforms into the clock.
Music/Sounds[]
Whooshing sounds throughout as the bars fly by. It usually doesn't have music or uses the beginning of the movie's theme, all with the whooshes, or sometimes there aren't any whooshes. During the logo's first year, a majestic orchestral fanfare is used. This can be heard onTomcats, America's Sweethearts, and Jet Li's The One.
Scare Factor[]
Minimal, bordering on low, as the dark background and whooshes may get to some, but this is a great logo.
