'''Variants:'''

* On ''Spring Breakers'', the letter "A" is glowing {{color|pink}} and the company name is {{color|light blue}}.
* On ''American Hustle'', the logo is customized. On a {{color|brown}} background, segments of the "A" appear one by one, while another pair brightens up, followed by the text which fades in. After that, it zooms in with a trail effect.
* On ''The Master'', rather than disintegrate, it instead fades to black early.
* On ''The Bad Batch'', we see another customized version of the logo. The "A" is seen on a landscape at dusk, and lights up in {{color|pink}} and {{color|cyan}}. The text fades in after that.
* For television shows, such as ''Pam & Tommy'', the word "TELEVISION" replaces "PICTURES".
