Background: This is a film production company founded in 1995, opening also its own film studio (known as Mandalay Pictures) that same year, to produce various successful movies teaming up with various Hollywood studios.


(1996- )
Mandalay (1996)Mandalay Pictures "Tiger" (1999-2003)

Nickname: "The Tiger"

Logo: We see a black-and-white video of the sun shining through trees in a jungle in Mandalay, Myanmar. The camera pans down towards the bottom of the jungle, where a tiger emerges from the jungle (which is in color). It walks towards the camera as a box zooms out and surrounds its head. In a "slashing" effect, the tiger's head turns into a stylized drawing of itself. The text "mandalay"
appears above the logo (in a script font), and "ENTERTAINMENT" appears below.

Variants:
  • One variant had the word "PICTURES" appearing underneath in place of "ENTERTAINMENT".
  • The other one is where there is nothing in the bottom.
  • Starting in 1999, we see the words "A LIONS GATE COMPANY" which was seen below the logo. However, this byline is no longer seen in 2003 when Beyond Borders was released in movie theatres.

FX/SFX: Mostly live action, so none.

Cheesy Factor: The cartoon tiger is very rough when the company name appeared, although the short version was still preserved.

Music/Sounds: A "jungle" sound, followed by a dramatic fanfare. Sometimes it plays over the opening theme.

Availability: The short version of the logo can be usually preserved on Sleepy Hollow. The long and regular version can be seen on 2000s DVD prints from Paramount Home Video such as The Score, Enemy at the Gates, Serving Sara, and Beyond Borders. This logo can be seen on The Legend of Sleepy Hollow today as well. The long version can be also seen on Spanish prints of Sleepy Hollow, when the Paramount logo is censored out of a Spanish print.

Scare Factor: Low to medium; the drawn tiger may scare you.

I've seen the enhanced variant of this logo on "Never Back Down", except it says "Mandalay Independent Pictures".
