Guild Film Distribution

1st Logo (1985-1993)


Nickname: "The Hexagon G", "Go Guild!"

Logo: Same as the home video counterpart, except for these differences:
 * The Guild logo is a lighter shade of orange.
 * It zooms out farther back.
 * The logo is slightly sped up.
 * "Film Distribution" replaces "Home Video".

FX/SFX: Same as the home video counterpart.

Music/Sounds: Same as the home video counterpart, except at a slightly higher pitch (which may or may not have been intentional).

Music/Sounds Variant: In its last year of usage, it used a lush orchestral remix of the 1993 home video theme.

Availability: Rare.
 * It appears on VHS tapes of Guild's first cinema releases, such as Cliffhanger, Last Exit to Brooklyn, Terminator 2: Judgment Day, The Fourth War, Universal Soldier and Rambo III.
 * The later music variant was found on a trailer for Bad Lieutenant, which was seen on the Blu-ray release from Fabulous Films.
