Background: Fine Line Features was the speciality films division of New Line Cinema, established in 1990. It produced, purchased, distributed and marketed films of a more "indie" flavor than its parent company. In 2005, New Line teamed up with fellow Time Warner subsidiary HBO to form Picturehouse, a new speciality film label of which Fine Line was folded into.
(1990-2005)
Nickname: "Abstract F"
Logo: Over a black background, a thin, glowing horizontal blue line fades in, dividing the screen in half. Then, a horizontal white line draws itself inside. The entire line rotates clockwise and shirnks a bit in the process. When the line becomes vertical, it rotates again, revealing an abstract F (it really looks like a corner) with a steelish tint. Then, from behind, a rectangel moves clockwise, and moves itself to the top of this "F" shape. It forms an angle, much like a director's block. Around the same time, a blue sportlight/circle backdrop forms behind this shape. The following text fades in:
The tops of both shapes shine afterwards.
Bylines:
Variant: In 2000, the words "10TH ANNIVERSARY: 1990-2000" spin around the logo, coming to a stop in an arc around the logo.
SFXFX: Very nice effects, similar to it's parent's logo, but also reminicent of the United Artists "Turning UA" logo.
MusicMusic/Sounds: None.
Availability: Seen on Independent/Art House films produced by the company.
Scare Factor: Low, it may look a little dark, but shouldn't scare many.
