Background: Trimark Pictures was founded in 1985 by Mark Amin, and debuted in 1988 as a movie company by Vidmark, Inc. to produce and distribute genre and lower-budget movies until 2000 when it was absorbedfolded byinto Lions Gate Entertainment. Currently Mark Amin is a member of Lions Gate's board of directors. However, Trimark Pictures never had a logo until 1990.
(1990-2001)
Nickname: "Lion Triangle"
Logo: Over a black background, we see gold stripes coming from the bottom of the screen. They turn to the right and form a triangle. The profile of a lion's head is revealed through "wind" effects. "TRIMARK PICTURES" wipes in below.
Earlier Variant: Originally, this logo faded out to make room for the text reading "A DIVISION OF VIDMARK INC.". This variant was used from 1990 until 1994. One of the example movies to use this was Leprechaun.
FX/SFX: The stripes flying, the lion appearing, text fading in.
Music/Sounds: A synthesizer that mixes into a triumphmant fanare with a boom. There is also a variant of it, in which the end is longer, and instead of a "boom", there is an odd, Worldvision-esque "WHOOSH".
Availability: Very uncommon, because this company was absorbedfolded byinto Lions Gate Entertainment in 2000. However, it was seen intact on some movies, such as Warlock, Black Magic Woman, Leprechaun and The Dentist among others. The last movie with this logo was Turbulence 3: Heavy Metal.
Scare Factor: Low to medium; the dark nature and ominous music could get to some.
