Background
Mandalay Pictures (also known as Mandalay Vision; formerly Mandalay Entertainment) is a film production studio founded in 1995 by producer Peter Guber, a year after leaving as head of Sony Pictures Entertainment. It is named after the city of Mandalay, Myanmar. In 1997, Lionsgate purchased Mandalay until 2003, when it became independent again. In 2008, Mandalay formed an independent division and later in 2011, it was changed to Mandalay Vision.
(August 16, 1996-)

Logo: In a black-and-white jungle (Mandalay, Myanmar to be exact), we see the sun shining through the trees. The camera pans down towards the ground, where an Indochinese tiger in a vibrant, orange color emerges from the bushes. It walks towards the camera while a box zooms out and surrounds its head as it turns into a stylized drawing through a slashing effect. The word "mandalay" in a script font fades in above the box and "ENTERTAINMENT" fades in below.
Variants:
- On The Fan (the first film from the company), the logo starts after the stylized tiger has fully formed. The international release starts with the normal long version instead (prior to the TriStar Pictures logo, instead of the other way around).
- Starting in 1999, the word "PICTURES" replaces "ENTERTAINMENT".
- Sometimes, there is nothing below the name.
- During the Lionsgate ownership from 1999-2003, a byline "A LIONS GATE COMPANY" was shown below.
- On Never Back Down, the text "INDEPENDENT PICTURES" is seen below the logo.
- An in-credit version appears at the end of Into the Blue.
- There is a shortened version of the logo where it begins with the tiger emerging from the jungle.
- On the Mandalay Vision version, the ending of the logo changes slightly. The stylized tiger is now in black-and-white, while the text "VISION" in a bubbly font appears by shimmering. On some other films from the division, the orange on the stylized tiger is slightly a goldish brown.
- On Paul, Apostle of Christ, the logo shares the screen with the ODB Films logo.
Technique: Live action combined with 2D computer graphics, done by Picturemill.
Audio: A jungle-like tribal theme, which ends with a sword-drawing sound effect as the tiger's head turns into a drawing and turns into a majestic six-note fanfare. This was composed by Jimmy Haun.[1] Sometimes, the opening theme is heard.
Availability: It was first seen on The Fan and on all films following it. The Vision variant appears on films such as The Kids Are All Right, Soul Surfer, Vanishing on 7th Street, Bernie and The Voices.
