International]] (alongside Peters and Mark Damon). It is named after the city of '''Mandalay''', Myanmar. The company also operates a [[Mandalay Television|television arm]]. In 1997, [[Lionsgate Films|Lions Gate Films]] purchased Mandalay and owned it until 2003, when it became independent again. In 2008, Mandalay formed an independent division known as [[Mandalay Vision|Mandalay Independent Pictures]], later renamed Mandalay Vision. Since 2008, Mandalay and its divisions have been owned by the Mandalay Entertainment Group. {{Clear}} ===Logo (August 16, 1996-)=== <tabber> Images= <gallery mode="packed" heights="150"> Mandalay Entertainment.jpeg Mandalay Pictures (Lionsgate byline).jpeg Mandalay Pictures.jpeg Mandalay (No below text variant).jpeg Mandalay Pictures (in-credit, 2005).png ODB Films-Mandalay Pictures (2018).png </gallery> |-| Videos= {{YouTube|id=G52m8b3FPDw|id2=xoZO2TTDn-I|id3=VTJXCYjJ-rg}} </tabber> '''Visuals:''' In a black-and-white jungle (Mandalay, Myanmar to be exact), the sun shines through the trees. The camera pans down towards the ground, where an Indochinese tiger in a vibrant, orange color emerges from the bushes. It walks towards the camera while a box zooms out and surrounds its head as it turns into a stylized drawing through a slashing effect. The word "'''''mandalay'''''" in a script font fades in above the box and "ENTERTAINMENT" fades in below. '''Variants:''' * On <u>''The Fan''</u> (the first film from the company), the logo starts after the stylized tiger has fully formed. The international release starts with the normal long version instead (prior to the [[TriStar Pictures]] logo, instead of the other way around). * Starting in <u>1999</u>, the word "PICTURES" replaces "{{font|Serif|ENTERTAINMENT}}". * Sometimes, there is <u>nothing below the name</u>. * During the Lionsgate ownership from 1999-2003, a byline reading <u>"A LIONS GATE COMPANY"</u> is shown below. * An in-credit version appears at the end of <u>''Into the Blue''</u>. * There is a <u>shortened version</u> of the logo where it begins with the tiger emerging from the jungle. This is known to appear on <u>''Sleepy Hollow''</u> (at least on US prints) and <u>''Air''</u>. * On <u>''Paul, Apostle of Christ''</u>, the logo shares the screen with the ODB Films logo. '''Technique:''' Live action combined with 2D computer graphics, done by Picturemill. '''Audio:''' A jungle-like tribal theme, which ends with a sword-drawing sound effect as the tiger's head turns into a drawing and turns into a majestic six-note fanfare. This was composed by Jimmy Haun.<ref>[https://youtu.be/ks9WycmL3eE?t=183]</ref> Sometimes, the opening theme is heard. '''Availability:''' It debuted on ''The Fan'' and has appeared on all films following it (except ''I'll Always Know What You Did Last Summer'', which only carries an in-credit notice). === References === <references /> {{Movie-Navbox}}{{American film logos}} [[Category:American film logos]] [[Category:United States]] [[Category:Film logos]] [[Category:Logos made by Picturemill]] [[Category:Logos with music by Elias Music]] [[Category:Mandalay Entertainment Group]]'
