Logo descriptions by Matt Williams and Kris Starring
Logo captures by Eric S.
Editions by V of Doom and Shadeed A. Kelly
Background: Hollywood Pictures Company is another of the Walt Disney Company movie divisions established in 1990 producing and distributing films for the teen and young-adult audiences originally. After being dormant since 2001, the brand was re-activated in 2006 to produce genre films such as horror and African-American films (i.e. Screen Gems) in place of Dimension Films after The Weinstein Bros. left Disney to form The Weinstein Company.
(July 18, 1990- )
Nicknames: "The Sphinx", "Hollywood Pictures Sphinx", "Egyptian Sphinx"
Logo: On a black background, a blue moon glows behind an object, as the glow line increases to reveal the object as the famous Egyptian sphinx. The light dies down to a circle behind the logo, as three lines (resembling as steps) fades-in below the logo, and below them the text "HOLLYWOOD PICTURES".
Early Variant: On this variant, a box appears around the sphinx logo, with "HOLLYWOOD" above it and "PICTURES" below. It appeared on Arachnophobia and Taking Care of Business.
FX/SFX: The glowing of the light behind the sphinx, not much animation.
Cheesy Factor: That being that it has nothing to do with the name of the company! What does a Sphinx, a symbol of Egypt, have to do with a company called "HOLLYWOOD PICTURES"?
Music/Sounds: An orchestral fanfare by Danny Elfman, composer of the Batman flicks, Edward Scissorhands, Beetlejuice, and Army of Darkness. As a closing logo, the closing theme is used, or none.
Availability: Common; used for several high profile films during the 90s such as Arachnophobia, Tombstone, Nixon, Evita, Super Mario Bros., Grosse Pointe Blank, and The Sixth Sense. It was retired in 2001, but reactivated in 2006, starting with the release of Stay Alive; however, there are only two other movies released after 2006: Primeval and The Invisible.
Scare Factor: None. This logo is very unpopular, as the concept is questionable, the animation line is minimal, and the fanfare is uninspired.

In 1999-2000, I'm not sure, but I think I've seen a Hollywood Pictures Television logo at the end of some show. It looks like the Hollywood Pictures logo, but has "Television" on bottom. As for the music, it has the first five notes of the Hollywood Pictures theme. Has anyone seen it?
