1st Logo (1988-1989)
sc_8Xg7eRYM Logo: The Cinemark symbol from 1988 flips sideways from the right side of the screen, until the triangle pointed red film strip touches it. Three rings zoom in and the symbol shines. The logo then slides to the left corner of the screen. The laser beams carve Cinemark Theaters. Then Front Row Joe's cue begins introducing Joe, Elton, and Clyde.

Trivia: All animation was produced in San Antonio by Willming Reams, Inc., shot in 35mm on a Cinetron-controlled Oxberry Master Series Animation Stand. The music was recorded in Austin and mixed for Dolby Stereo by Skywalker Sound.

FX/SFX: Mostly smooth traditional cel animation, with some aspects of the Cinemark logo being in CGI.

Music/Sounds: An upbeat jazz/jump blues/doo-wop tune in a fast pace starts, then the Cat Ushers (AKA: The Blue Brothers) sing.

Music/Sounds Trivia: The head usher was the lead singer in the first three Joe trailers. For the 4th trailer, it was decided to have Joe sing.

Availability: Extinct. Was used at Cinemark theaters during the period.

2nd Logo (1989-1990)
NGkagLotNic Logo: We see the Cinemark logo atop the Box Office, We then pan down to see a large car, and at the back is Front Row Joe. He hops out and grabs his ticket, and the ushers sing the rules for going to the theatre. Later on, the Peavey logo appears on the screen, and a laser outlines it, it then flips away, revealing the Cinemark logo. Joe clicks his fingers again and the ushers sing "Doo-Wah!!"

FX/SFX: All animation was done by the team at Willming Reams Animation, San Antonio, TX.

Music/Sounds: A jazz theme for the singing part, and the voices of the ushers. Also, a synth laser zap is heard for the Peavey part.

Availability: Was used at Cinemark theatres in 1989.

(2008-2021)
