Starz

1st Logo (February 1, 1994-November 2002)
Logo: When the logo starts, it looks like it is taking place at a theater. We see the Starz logo in gold with it being dark in the front of it. Then, it cuts to a pedestal with the text 'encore 8' going around it in a circle with a number 8 on top of the pedestal. The light on the pedestal turns on. The light in front of the Starz logo turned on. Then it cuts to swirls going around the poles that support the theater. It cuts to the seats of the theater opening. Then it cuts to a normal star cutting into another star which makes the Starz symbol. Then finally, it cuts back to the Starz logo but now it has the text 'encore 8' going around the starz symbol.

Variants:
 * After the sequence, the slogan text "#1 IN NEW HIT MOVIES" appears below with the disclaimer underneath.
 * Sometimes, a shortened version of the ID was used.

Technique: CGI by Pittard Sullivan.

Audio: A breathtaking synth fanfare with sounds, which ends with a flourish and three notes at the end.

Audio/Voiceover Variants:
 * An announcer (Beau Weaver) says "Starz! Number one in new hit movies!".
 * In some cases, on the short version, Weaver also states "You're watching Starz! Number one in new hit movies!".

2nd Logo (November 2002-March 27, 2005)
Logo: On a yellow sky background, we see the tiny "STARZ!" text in the center of the screen, as it disappears. Meanwhile, the water sprays and brings forth the same star symbol from the previous logo, spinning around and easing back from the viewers. A river appears below, and as that happens, the black word "STARZ" in the same font from before rises from the water, and a splash creates an exclamation point next to it as the star settles on top of the text. The logo slowly then rotates as it finishes.

Technique: CGI by At the Post.

Audio: An orchestral piece which ends with a 6-note triumphant brass fanfare.

Availability: Only found on 2002-2005 Starz airings.

3rd Logo (March 28, 2005-April 6, 2008)
Logo: A blue shooting star is flying through the city of New York during the night. Then the camera zooms to the skyline of the city. Finally, the shooting star stops into place on the top-right part of the screen. Then the 'starz ' text fades in as the camera is zooming out of the skyline.

4th Logo (2011-2013)

Also, we even see a somewhat busy traffic road with cars and trucks moving about as well as the "sparkles" shining, a fancy, glittery dress and other assorted objects and a windshield of the car. The close-up shot of the woman's feet in her high-heeled shoes walking about it also shown, then it ends up watching the "sparkles" rising about forming the same 2008 Starz logo from before, rotating and zooming out from the viewers.
