Background: Screen Gems was resurrected by Sony Pictures Entertainment in 1999 as movie division to produce and distribute all genre and mid-budget film releases; however, in the early years it also distributed some independent movies.
(1999- )
Nicknames: "S From Heaven", "The CGI Spiral S (from Heaven)"
Logo: On a black background, a flash of light forms a blue dot. A series of ITC-like tops spin around it and form the two lines of the S (the same as the scary Screen Gems logo of 1965-1974, the "S" is also in a sky blue color). Under the S appears "SCREEN GEMS," and underneath that, "A SONY PICTURES ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY."
Earlier Variant: The early variant of this logo is bylineless.
FX: The flash and the spinning "tops." The stunning animation of the logo has made this a favorite of logo fans who've seen it.
Music/Sounds: It starts out with a rising orchestra, then to an extremely majestic/inspirational five-note tune coinciding with the animation and the forming of the words "SCREEN GEMS". In other cases, it uses the opening theme or it's silent.
Availability: Seen on many genre and mid-budget films produced and distributed by the company. It could be seen on Hostel and Hostel II.
Scare Factor: None, compared to the television version. The "S" has truly mellowed with age.
