Summit Premiere

From the Audiovisual Identity Database, the motion graphics museum


1st Logo (August 26, 2016-2018)


Visuals: On a black background, a light shines, showing the outline of a mountain. The resulting mountain outline gradually zooms out, and the light gradually gets brighter until something akin to a flash appears on the screen. The background becomes ice blue, the mountain's outline becomes white, and this zooms out until the logo becomes an ice blue rectangle with a mountain outline. The light fades out in the distance, and the rectangle is on a white gradient background. "SUMMIT PREMIERE" fades in below the mountain on the rectangle and a Lionsgate byline fades in.

Technique: CGI by Kelly Carlton.

Audio: The audio from the 2007 Summit Entertainment logo, composed by Jamie Anderson at J Trax Music.

Availability: Can be seen on films such as Mechanic: Resurrection, The 9th Life of Louis Drax, Rock Dog (U.S. release), among others.

2nd Logo (October 26, 2018-)


Visuals: On a sky background in the middle of several moving clouds, the "SUMMIT PREMIERE" text in Lionsgate's corporate font floats in the middle of the screen. The text then rotates to reveal the stacked text "A LIONSGATE COMPANY", with "LIONSGATE" in the same corporate font.

Technique: CGI. This was done by Devastudios, who also did the current Lionsgate logo.

Audio: Same as the previous logo.

Availability: The new animated logo debuted on Hunter Killer, released on October 26, 2018, and will probably been seen on future releases.
