FX/SFX: None, it's just an still picture of the model

1st Logo
(1986)
Nickname: "The 2-D Lion"
Logo: On a gray background, a lion as seen in the second logo flies from the bottom to the top of the screen. Then the letters "DEG", with four lines in black and white respectively above and below it, slowly spins and flips into the screen with "DE LAURENTIIS ENTERTAINMENT GROUP" underneath the letters. The copyright information fades in below the logo.
Variant: On Maximum Overdrive, the background is olivish orange.
FX/SFX: 2-D animation.
Music/Sounds: A thirteen-note dramatic synth fanfare. On Transformers: The Movie, the J. Arthur Rank music plays over the logo. On Maximum Overdrive, the logo is silent.
Availability: Can be seen on Manhunter, Transformers: The Movie and Maximum Overdrive without music.
Scare Factor: None.
2nd Logo
(1986-1989)
Nickname: "The Lion Statue"
Logo: On a black background, we see three still images of a lion statue close-up. We then zoom out to see that is the gold abstract lion, from the first logo, in 3D, as the background turns red. Underneath the lion, we see the gold letters "DEG" (with two black lines above and below it) and we have the name "DE LAURENTIIS ENTERTAINMENT GROUP" (in white) appearing underneath. The "G" in "DEG" then shines.
Variant: There is a short version of this logo on later releases.
FX/SFX: The close-up of the lion, the zoom-out to show the abstract lion, the letter "G" in "DEG" shines.
Music/Sounds: Here are the music variants:
Availability: Rare. This logo can be found on Tai-Pan. It also appeared on Trick-or-Treat, Crimes of the Heart, and King Kong Lives, among others, although it has the old StudioCanal logo on DVD prints before this logo. The short version was seen on later releases circa 1987-89 such as Near Dark, Traxx, and Collision Course.
Scare Factor: None.
