Don Simpson/Jerry Bruckheimer Films

Background
Don Simpson/Jerry Bruckheimer Films was founded in 1983 by movie producers Don Simpson and Jerry Bruckheimer. Together, the duo produced some of the most successful films of the 1980s, including Flashdance, Beverly Hills Cop I and II, and Top Gun. The company didn't use a logo until the 1990 film Days of Thunder. When Simpson died in 1996, it was renamed to "Jerry Bruckheimer Films", with the logo first appearing on Con Air.

(June 27, 1990-May 27, 2022)
Logo: We start with sky blue clouds moving across the screen. Two bolts of lightning then strike and converge at the bottom as the clouds instantly turn. The screen zooms out in a box on a black background, as the text "Times New Roman" is revealed at the bottom of the screen.

Variants:
 * A print version exists.
 * An early version just has the company name.
 * In the logo's later years, it is shortened and the text is smaller.
 * There exists a version without the text.

Technique: Appears to be live-action footage mixed with 2D animation.

Music/Sounds: Just the sounds of lightning crackling, usually played alongside the opening theme of the movie.

Music/Sounds Variants:
 * On Days of Thunder (the first film to use this logo), we also hear wind sounds. The lightning crackling sounds remain intact here.
 * At the end of Disney-distributed movies, the logo is silent.
 * On Top Gun: Maverick, the opening theme of the movie is heard without any sounds at all.

Availability:
 * In its original run, the logo was seen on some films from 1990 until 1996, including Days of Thunder, Crimson Tide, Dangerous Minds, and The Rock.
 * Following Simpson's death, however, Bruckheimer has opted to retain this logo on sequels to films he originally produced with Don Simpson when he was still alive, presumably out of respect; with the logo reinstated for Bad Boys II, Bad Boys for Life, and Top Gun: Maverick.
 * The version without the lightning box was on a teaser trailer for Days of Thunder, which can be found on the 1990 Paramount VHS release of Black Rain.
 * This was also seen on the short-lived 1996 TV show incarnation of the 1995 movie Dangerous Minds, Soldier of Fortune, Inc, and L.A.'s Finest.
