The company still exists today.

Visuals: Same as the first International Rainbow Pictures logo, except the text has been replaced with "A RAINBOW PICTURE", now in a fixed position (it fits the rainbow).

Variant:

• An early version of this logo has the footage fade in first and when we get close enough to his face, the text "A RAINBOW RELEASE" appears in the same animation as the normal variant. A few seconds later, as the live-action footage fades out, the text fades out several frames after the footage began fading out.
• On Déjà Vu, the text from the above variant has been replaced with the one from the normal variant and the footage now simply pops up.
  • An open-matte version of this logo was seen on the trailer to said film.
• On the trailer to Going Shopping, only the text from the early variant appears.

Technique: Live action.

Audio: Same as the first International Rainbow Pictures logo.

Audio Variant: On Train to Zakopané, near the end of the logo, an old man says "Remember" in a slow pace.

Availability: It debuted on the 1995 film Last Summer in the Hamptons, and was seen on every film directed by Jaglom since such as the 2001 film Festival in Cannes, Déjà Vu, Irene in Time, and Train to Zakopané. It appears at the beginning of these movies except for Just 45 Minutes from Broadway, which shows up after the end credits.
