TriStar Pictures/Trailer Variations

These are the logo variations seen on trailers throughout the years by TriStar Pictures.

No Mercy (1986): The "Pegasus Over Pyramid" logo is red on a black background.



Total Recall (1990): The logo is on a nighttime sky filled with stars, a 2-D image of the Tri-Star Pictures logo zooms out and warps away. This was seen on the teaser trailer of the film, though other trailers had another version like this but with the Carolco Pictures logo.



Terminator 2: Judgement Day (1991): A shot of the exoskeleton Terminator in front of a flame background flashes a few times over the 1991 logo. Other versions of the trailer use the Carolco Pictures logo.

Bugsy (1991): A camera flashes once over the logo.

Hook (1991): The logo eases back down-left and goes to the storybook. A teaser for it has the "Pegasus Over Pyramid" logo in the print of the storybook. A TV spot has the logo sliced through by Hook's claw.
