Logo pictures by Eric S.


1st Logo
(1988-1995)

Note: This company was founded in 1988 by Brian Grazier and Ron Howard.

Nickname: "The Rising", "Shining Star", "Reflection", "Imagine-Chapter 1: The debut"

Logo: On a black background, we see a star shining that shows the reflection of the studio's name, then "IMAGINE" rises up and settles above its reflection. The studio's name sparkles.

SFX/Cheesy Factor: The star shining, the studio's name rising, the studio's name sparkling.

1995 Variant: The "FILMS" text in the logo was removed.

Music: Silent. In other cases, it has jazz music played over this logo.

Availability: Seen at the end of movies from this company from the era.

Scare Factor: Minimal, the flash could make the people jump up.



2nd Logo
(1995- )

Nickname: "The Drop", "Ripples", "Imagine-Chapter 2: Dripping"

Logo: We see a water drop that is almost ready to drip, then it drips into the water, forming out the words:

I M A G I N E
ENTERTAINMENT

The text waves for a second before settling.

Variants:

• How The Grinch Stole Christmas: Before "ENTERTAINMENT" fades in, snowflakes start to fall, then after the logo fades, the snowflakes remain, but the black background turns into a dark blue sky to the opening credits.
• The Cat In The Hat: The background is blue and we see Fish in a Dish swimming and the words are the colors from the cat's hat in a custom font for the film, which is the same for its Universal and Dreamworks SKG logos.
• Psycho: The drop of water is replaced by a drop of blood.
• American Gangster: The logo is in black and white.
