Visuals: On a black background with a bright light on the top-left corner. A globe then spins from the top right and lands in the center (similar to the 1st Wiseau Films logo), zooming, until the globe settles on the light. Then the gold-orange words "AMERICAN WORLD PICTURES" zoom in from the center, and the globe continues to spin until it stops.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: A majestic triumphant action-oriented fanfare. Sometimes, the logo is silent or has the opening theme of the movie playing over.

2nd Logo (December 8, 2000-2010)


Visuals: On a orange background with a black planet behind it (meaning it was for the Sun), two orange triangles rotate from the center, and a circle wipes in the filmstrips from the bottom. The background then dims, and four triangles appear behind the orange triangles and the filmstrips. As the background turns black, the orange words "AMERICAN WORLD PICTURES" then wipe in.

Visuals: On a black background, a colored light appears, revealing that the blue colored letters "AWP" flip in from the screen, and zooming closer to the screen, with a purple glow behind it. As the text zooms closer, the purple light disappears and a flash is shown behind it. The flash then turns to the curve that draws behind the letters. The words "AMERICAN WORLD PICTURES" fade in and turn around for the letters and settle in the screen until it fades out.
