SyuFy Luxury Theatres

(1980s-1992)
Logo: We zoom out from a theatre located in a desert at night. The text "Syufy LUXURY THEATERS" ("Syufy" in script and "LUXURY THEATERS" in the Korrina font) scrolls down with a trail in front of it. The trail falls into the text, which lights up, while the words "Welcomes You..." wipe in below, just as the above text shines and glimmers. Two searchlights then turn on at the theatre, while a diagonal wipe reveals the text "...to the Wonderful World of Movies". Then, "Your comfort is our main concern" is wiped in and off by the searchlights. Then, the theatre policy guidelines are revealed in various ways as following:


 * The rule regarding management notification is wiped in by the searchlights, then wiped off by a comet.
 * After fading off, the same comet wipes in "Enjoy", as the rest of the guide on food and drink, along with a cup of Coke is revealed. The background of a seat with popcorn then fades in, then off altogether.
 * Fading back to the desert environment, the comet flies through again, as the rule regarding theatre cleanse scrolls from the left, then moves out to make space for the rule regarding silence.
 * As the text from before moves out, the rule regarding smoking wipes in with glimmer, then is wiped off by the searchlights. Offers for gift certificates and bargain matinees appear the same way.

"Thank You for your patronage" wipes in with a trail, then "AND NOW..." appears, then "SIT BACK, RELAX, AND ENJOY" scrolls down, while "OUR FEATURE PRESENTATION" zooms out with a trail in front of it. Finally, the trail falls into the text, and a shine fills the texts in.

Variant: Against a blue-black background, we see a bluish-silver light write out the word "Syufy" in its corporate font on the top left of the screen as the text "Luxury Cinemas" slides in from the top right. The text flashes, then a white light writes out the word "presents" in a smaller font. The works "Our Feature Attraction" (in black with red outlines) slide toward the bottom on the screen via a trailing effect. The words turn blue as a line of light slides across the Syufy Luxury Theaters logo, then the trailer fades out.

Technique: 2D animation.

Music/Sounds: An elevator music-like theme titled "Made In U.S.A".

Music/Sounds Variant: A space-synth fanfare which transitions to synth-jazz towards the end.

Availability: Extinct. It was only seen in a handful of theatres during the time before the name change to Century Theatres. The variant was mainly used at Syufy's drive-in locations.
