Village Roadshow Pictures

Background
Village Roadshow Pictures is the American division of Village Roadshow Entertainment Group (VREG), which in turn is a subsidiary of Australian company Village Roadshow Limited (parent of Roadshow Entertainment and Roadshow Films).

In 1997, the company signed a five-year first-look deal with Warner Bros., which was later extended in 2012. Around that time, Bruce Berman was signed on as president of the studio. In May 2014, the company signed a co-financing production deal with Sony Pictures Entertainment, which ended in 2016. On September 27, 2021, Bruce Berman stepped down as the CEO of the company.

1st Logo (1990-1992)

Variant: A still version exists.

Technique: Same as the Roadshow Films logo. None for the still version.

 * The still version was seen on trailers for Over the Hill and Blood Oath.

 * A version in 4:3 with the jingle appears on the 1990 UK Warner Home Video VHS and 2000 VCD release of the former.

Legacy: This logo was generally hard to find for the longest time, as most films the company produced at the time usually had only the logo of the film's distributor. Also, many have found the inclusion of the lasers extremely pointless, given there is no text for it to form.

3rd Logo (October 16, 1998-June 8, 2018)
Logo:
 * 1998-2012, 2014: Similar to the 1984 New World Pictures logo, we see rows of bars turning inward extremely close to the camera, from bottom to top. A spotlight lights up the background behind them. The spotlight fades as it zooms out to reveal the "V" in sky blue with a sheen on the left (different from the official logo). The company name in  fades in below. This version was last used on The Lucky One, and additionally came back for a one-time revival with American Sniper (albeit a variant).

4th Logo (October 4, 2019-)
Logo: On a white gradient background, we see the row of "V" bars slowly emerging one-by-one, working its way to the top. As the camera pulls back, the company name (in the Nexa font) emerges in, which is now aligned to the right as shadows appear from behind. The entire logo then embosses on the background.

Trivia: This logo is similar to the variant seen on Collateral Beauty.

Variant: A still version exists.

Technique: CGI by Trailer Park.

Music/Sounds: A majestic orchestral rendition of the 2006 fanfare. Otherwise, none or the opening theme of the movie.
