Background: Regency Enterprises is a Los Angeles-based motion picture production company formed by Arnon Milchan and Joseph P. Grace. It was founded in 1982 as Embassy International Pictures, but the company name changed to avoid confusion with Norman Lear's Embassy Pictures. Its films were distributed by Warner Bros. until 1997, and by 20th Century Fox from 1998 to the present.
(1993- )
Nicknames: "Northern Lights", "R2", "The Haze"
Logo: Over a black background, a light draws a stylized blue "R". As we pan out, the glowing from the R stops, and "REGENCY" turns toward us under the R. The logo shines.
Variants:
FX/SFX: The light effects.
Music/Sounds: Originally, it was silent. After, an orchestra tune with a flute plays when the "R" is drawn. The music was composed by Hans Zimmer, who also conducted it.
Availability: Appears on any film produced by Regency since 1993 onward. Today, most films are distributed by 20th Century Fox so this should be an easy find. Also, Guess Who was released by Columbia Pictures. The print boxes had the Regency logo on from 1991 to early 1993, but the logo didn't appear until it debuted.
Scare Factor: None.

Logo: Over a black background, a light draws a stylized blue "R". As we pan out, the glowing from the R stops, and "REGENCY" turns toward us under the R. The logo shines.
Variants:
- Down with Love: The logo is tinted pink, and a sexy saxophone rendition of the theme (as composed and conducted by Hans Zimmer) plays.
- Deck the Halls: The logo has regular animation, then snowflakes appear as the "R" turns red and white (think a candy cane) and the company name turns green, and finally at the end, the logo is frozen.
- Alvin and the Chipmunks: Normal in the feature. The trailer had the Regency logo in black and white.
FX/SFX: The light effects.
Music/Sounds: Originally, it was silent. After, an orchestra tune with a flute plays when the "R" is drawn. The music was composed by Hans Zimmer, who also conducted it.

Thanks for posting the video of this logo and theme! But I have to correct the info a little: the theme for this logo was composed by Danny Elfman. It is derived from his "Sommersby" score. If you have the Sommersby soundtrack, you can see the part of the music that Elfman re-arranged slightly to accompany the New Regency logo. On the "Main Title" track, go about 55 seconds in, and from there to about 15 or so seconds you will hear most of the bars of this logo theme! I was alerted to it by the Soundtrack.net site (look under logos) and then researched it. Your info on Zimmer may relate to the fact that he arranged (different than composed) the logo theme for saxaphone and ensemble for Down with Love; but it is indeed Elman's composition from 1993.
Do you find this valuable?
