Music/Sounds Variant: On the Take Me Home Tonight variant, the edited version of the opening song "Video Killed the Radio Star" starts over it.Īvailability: Common. In other cases, jazz music plays over the logo. At the beginning of Take Me Home Tonight, instead of the next logo below, this logo is used (owing to the film's 1980s setting) and after the text fades in, it slows down.įX/SFX: The star shining, the word " IMAGINE" rising and the word " IMAGINE" sparkling.Also, the text is bolder, and "FILMS ENTERTAINMENT" appears in light blue. At other times, "FILMS" appeared sandwiched in between the company name, in spaced-out letters to fit the length of " IMAGINE".Another variation used the term "PRESENTS" below the logo, and would be placed at the beginning instead.Trivia: It is worth mentioning while this is the first logo used for theatrical releases, Imagine debuted its logo a year earlier for their television unit for the failed pilots Channel 99 and Smart Guys with metallic bronze text and a water background, with no company name other than the " IMAGINE" text. The name " IMAGINE" then sparkles three times, one sparkling side was on the center of the " G", one sparkling side was on the top right of the " N", and one sparkling side was on the bottom of the " M". The words "AN" above the " IMAGINE" text and "ENTERTAINMENT" in spaced-out letters, to fit the length of " IMAGINE" with "PRESENTATION" below, appear respectively, in a Serif Gothic font. Logo: On a black background, we see a star flashing, revealing a reflection of the shiny chrome-blue text " IMAGINE", on rippling water, and then the word " IMAGINE" rising out of the water and then the word settles above its reflection. Nicknames: "The Rising", "Shining Star", "Reflection" Background: Imagine Entertainment is a film and television production company that was founded in November 1985 by director Ron Howard and producer Brian Grazer after the success of the movie Splash. Imagine's first motion picture release was Like Father Like Son in 1987, but no logo was used until The Burbs in 1989.
