1st Logo

(1999-2006)

Nicknames: "Shining Lion", "Lion Constellation" Logo: On a black background, we see the lion from the first logo. Below it is  LIONS GATE . Under it is "TELEVISION", in what appears to be stretched-out Myriad. The lion flashes and shines. Variant: On Shutter Speed, a byline for Mandalay Action & Sports Entertainment appears below. The logo is also smaller. FX/SFX: The flashing of the constellation. Cheesy Factor: The flashing seems sped-up. Music/Sounds: Either a synth theme with crashing cymbals to hit the last note, or the first part of the Lions Gate Home Entertainment theme; otherwise, the end theme of the show. Availability: Fairly common. Seen on The Dead Zone on Cloo and the first season of Weeds. Scare Factor: None. 2nd Logo

(1999-2005)

Nicknames: "The Green Lion", "Lion Constellation II" Logo: On a black background, we see the constellation of the lion from the Lions Gate Films logo in green with the stars in yellow. On the left of the lion says "LIONS GATE" in Bernhard Modern and underneath in green says "ENTERTAINMENT" in a serif font. FX/SFX: None. Music/Sounds: Just the end title-theme from any show or the generic network theme. Availability: Rare. Seen on Unsolved History. Also affixed to the end of documentaries made by Termite Art Productions (except syndicated reruns of Ripley's Believe it or Not!), Busted on the Job and it's sequels. Scare Factor: None. 3rd Logo

(2006-2013)

Nicknames: "The Lions Gate Sky", "Lionsgate Hero" Logo: It's the 2nd half of the 5th Lionsgate Films logo. Later Variant: In 2010, a registered trademark symbol was added. FX/SFX: Just the camera zooming back from the logo. Music/Sounds: Mostly it's the end-title theme from any show or silent. As of late 2010, it's a little sped-up version of the last notes of the theatrical logo. Availability: Common. Seen on shows from the ear such as Boss, Weeds, Nurse Jackie, Mad Men, Anger Management, Orange is the New Black, and reruns of the final season of The Dead Zone. Scare Factor: None. 4th Logo
