Loews Super Surround Stereo

Background
Before it was rebranded as Sony Theatres, Loews Theatres commissioned a "Loews Super Surround Stereo" bumper to promote stereo sound in its theatres.

(1990s-August 1994)


Logo: A red sphere is in the center of a rotating light blue "O", similar to the start of the 1985 Loews Theatres opening. The screen and the sphere zoom away as the "O" becomes part of "SUPER SURROUND". Blue lasers form a blue/pink Loews logo above "SUPER SURROUND", and "stereo" materializes below. The logo shines for several more seconds.

FX/SFX: Cel animation by Cinema Concepts.

Music/Sounds: A majestic synth fanfare.

Availability: Extinct, although it was also spotted on bootleg VHS of The Lion King, preceding a Columbia-TriStar Home Video logo.

Editor's Note: None.
