TriStar Pictures/Logo Variations

From the Audiovisual Identity Database, the motion graphics museum


These are the logo variations seen throughout the years by TriStar Pictures.

The Legend of Billie Jean (1985): The tint is darker.

_______________________________________________________________________________________

8 Million Ways to Die (1986): The logo starts just a few moments before the Pegasus grows its wings, and after it's done the logo fades into the Producers Sales Organization. The fanfare is also cut off near the start and the end.

_______________________________________________________________________________________

Who's Harry Crumb? (1989): The Pegasus is pink.

_______________________________________________________________________________________

Look Who's Talking Too (1990): Normal 1984 logo plays, but the Pegasus is voiced by Bruce Willis imitating Mr. Ed. When the horse first appears, there is a neigh, then "Oh, Wilbur, here I go! (Laughs) I'm running pretty good now, and I'm going to take a jump," and when the Pegasus grows its wings and flies over the "T", "and oh, I got wings and I'm flying, oh Wilbur!" and when the logo forms, "Tri-Star Pictures, where anything can happen!" The fanfare makes a cameo later on in the film during the scene when Julie practices walking.

_______________________________________________________________________________________

Another You (1991): Normal 1984 logo plays, but when the Pegasus starts growing his wings, Richard Pryor says "Now easy, boy. Steady, wait!" and when the stars form into the "T", Richard Pryor then goes "Whoa, f**kin' wings! What's going on?!" and when the Pegasus jumps over the word Tri, there's a crashing sound, then Richard says "F**king white horse!". On the Bounce TV airing, Richard says "Wait!" instead of "F**kin' wings!" and at the end, he says "damn" instead of "f**king". In a certain airing, the cursed words were removed, in which Richard says "Wings!" and at the end, he says "White horse!".

_______________________________________________________________________________________

Hook (1991): Normal 1984 logo plays, but when the Pegasus first appears and starts growing his wings, the dark blue/purple evening background is brighter and when both the stars from into the "T", the Pegasus grows its wings and flies over the "T" and the Pegasus jumps over the word Tri, the "TRI STAR" text is more white and when the logo forms, the background is more black.

_______________________________________________________________________________________

Mad About You (1993, TriStar Television): On the end credits of the episode "It's a Wrap", Paul Buchman (played by Paul Reiser) is arguing to Lou (played by Larry Miller) on the phone about the closing credits of the episode. As it gets to the end of the credits, Paul says "Show the guy on the phone. All right? Then you have the sound of the racetrack, the thing with the hand, and then the stupid horse with the wings." on the In Front Productions, Nuance Productions, and the 1993 TriStar Television logos. The audience later laughs and as the logo fades out, Paul says "That'll work.". The logo was plastered with the Sony Pictures Television logo, in which the "...and then the stupid horse with the wings." line was cut to the audience laughing, in which the end of the logo's music plays out.

_______________________________________________________________________________________

Jumanji (1995): The logo's byline is outlined in purple. Also, the clouds and the white light are a bit slim.

_______________________________________________________________________________________

_______________________________________________________________________________________

Lords of Dogtown (2005): The text "LOCALS ONLY" is spray-painted onto the logo.
