Actually, it's a subsidiary of TimeWarner.

(1988-1990)

Nickname: "Ladder"

Scare Factor: Same as the 1988 movie logo.



2nd Logo
(1995-)

Nickname: "CGI Ladder"

Logo: It's the same movie logo as New Line Cinema. But this time, "TELEVISION" replaces the word "CINEMA" with a line seperating the logo with a company byline underneath.

Variants: There were different variations of the logo:

• The full animation of the movie logo but having the words "NEW LINE TELEVISION" instead.
• On season 3 of The Lost World, the series used the 2001 New Line Cinema logo with the AOL Time Warner byline.
• On Kitchen Confidential surprisingly appears a bylineless version of the logo
• Referred to as "NEW LINE TELEVISION PAY PER VIEW" with "PAY PER VIEW" below.
