1st Logo
(July 6, 1999-February 1, 2005)Logo: On a black background, we see a blue box with a white outline with "FRANCHISE" at the top. A building is seen in the box, and "PICTURES" is seen on the lower part of it.
FX/SFX: None.
Music/Sounds: None.
Availability: Extremely rare. Was seen on some early films distributed by the company, such as The Confession and A Murder of Crows. The teal variant also appeared on the GBA game A Sound of Thunder.

Nickname: "The Franchise Building"
Logo: We start out by panning out through a street with many buildings, then we pan out to a skyscraper with "FRANCHISE" above it, and "PICTURES" on the base. The background soon changes to a teal background.
Variations:
- In Heist, the logo is black and white and we only see the camera panning up to the skyscraper.
- The short version of the logo can usually be seen in films made by Franchise Pictures. In the short version, first 4 seconds are cut off and we only see the second half of the logo.
- In Green Dragon, the "CLASSICS" word flows from the right (ala Universal) and places on the skyscraper.
Music/Sounds: An ascending, majestic orchestral fanfare. On some films, the logo is silent.
Availability: Common. Seen on several films from the era starting with The Boondock Saints.
Editor's Note: None.
