TriStar Pictures/Summary

== 1st Logo (April 6, 1984-May 28, 1993, July 28, 1996?, April 9, 2014?) ==
WARNING: Due to the loud music at the end of this logo, videos of this logo will not be allowed on this site!
Nicknames: "The TriStar Pegasus", "'80s Pegasus"
Logo: On a dark blue/purple background with pink skies, a splashed white horse that's known as a stallion gallops into view coming from the left. As it gets closer, it spreads its wings and flies while three stars coming from the left, bottom and right crash into each other forming a "T" in Didot font (the same font used for CBS) that zooms out to reveal more letters: the "R", the "I" and the word "STAR". The text continues to zoom out. We see a triangle with a gold outline with the word "PICTURES" below it zooming out to an abstract drawing of a Pegasus "jumping" over the logo.
Trailer Variants: Same as the print logo.
Closing Titles:
* May 11, 1984 – September 10, 1991, January 29, 1993: It's the same exact logo (minus the coloring of the triangle). Above the logo is "A Tri-Star Release".
* December 11, 1991 – September 11, 1992: There is a little "Pegasus over Pyramid" logo (minus the "TRI STAR" text inside it) next to the stacked words "TRI STAR". This is pretty much of a modified version of the TriStar Television logo minus the rectangular box below it with "TELEVISION" nor "PICTURES". Above the logo is "A TriStar Release". Sometimes, the rectangular box is seen below the logo, but it lacks the "TELEVISION" inside it.
Logo Variations: TBA
Byline: Referred to as bylineless.
Variants:
* On VHS and full screen DVD prints of some films that is shot in a negative ratio, it may use the standard animation or use the pan-and-scan version by: (1.): The screen focusing on the Pegasus, but suddenly shifts up when the Pegasus jumps over the "T", (2.): The screen following the Pegasus, (or 3.): The screen starting in the middle and the Pegasus appears shortly before it jumps over the "T".
* On many releases in 1985, we can see the Pegasus appearing before it jumps over the "T".
* The text "A TRI-STAR RELEASE" appears on a black background at the end of the Tri-Star logo and the music plays over it. This was originally seen on earlier films such as Supergirl and Santa Claus: The Movie. However,c the U.S.A. Home Video VHS prints of Supergirl uses the standard logo.
* There are filmed and videotaped versions.
* On VUDU prints of Lock-Up, the 2011 StudioCanal logo plays, and after it ends, it cuts to the middle of the logo before the Pegasus jumps over the "T".
FX/SFX/Cheesy Factor: The stallion becoming a Pegasus, the stars forming the "T", the text and triangle zooming out.
Music/Sounds: An orchestrated piece done by Dave Grusin. Sometimes, such as Candyman and The Muppets Take Manhattan, the CTHV DVD prints have the fanfare, the Hulu and the CTHV VHS prints are silent. Other times, it's the opening theme of the film, or silence. On some films, such as The Principal and Chaplin (the latter one uses the next closing logo), the music begins a few seconds before the logo fades in.
Music/Sounds Variant: When TubiTV aired Bat*21, it used a master that preserved this logo, but also contained the MGM roar, due to the poor reverse plastering.
Availability: Fairly common. Seen on many 1984-93 TriStar releases during this period, such as The Natural, The Muppets Take Manhattan, Places in the Heart, Blame It on the Night, Meatballs Part 2, and Lovelines. Strangely, this logo replaces the 1993 logo on Freeform prints of Matilda and Nickelodeon prints of the second PL film. In an interesting occurence, when Starz Encore aired the second PL film, the standard definition version retains this logo from its Nickelodeon print, but the high definition version features the next logo below instead.
Scare Factor: Low, due to the loud music at the end of the logo.
== 2nd Logo (June 25, 1993-August 28, 2015, October 12, 2015) ==
WARNING: Due to the animation of the Pegasus, videos of this logo will not be allowed on this site!
Nicknames: "The TriStar Pegasus II", "'90s Pegasus", "Ultra Common Pegasus"
Logo: We start out on a black background. The background slowly fades in as if part of the evening with a dark background with dark cumulonimbus clouds with fog on the bottom. A white flash of light brightens up as it almost fills the background. A Pegasus from far distance takes a few steps toward the viewer spreads its wings while "TRISTAR" (with the "T" and "S" in a bigger font than the other letters) in a gold, bold chiseled font fades in slowly. The Pegasus stops when its wings are fully spread out and the "TRISTAR" text fully appears.
Trailer Variants:
* 1993: A very early trailer and commercial logo has the stacked words "TRI STAR" next to the box with a Pegasus in front of the cloud. It can be seen on the trailer for Rudy.
* 1993-1999: During this logo's early years, while the Pegasus spreads out its wings, "TRISTAR" is fully transparent rather than fading in as in the regular variant.
* 1999-2015: An abridged version of the logo.
