Logo (May 1, 1992-June 25, 1993)


Visuals: There are five comets moving in various directions over a black BG. The comets' traces create a star, which slowly rotates with the light cloud under it. Then light ceases and a blue pentagonal figure appears around the star. Each of its five sides has two lines over. "PENTA PICTURES" also appears below, in the same color as the pentagon.

Variants: There are two international variants: one reads "PENTA PICTURES EUROPE" ("Europe" is below), first seen on Love Potion #9; the other reads "PENTA EUROPE", on international releases of A Bronx Tale.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: A synth theme, accompanied by four whooshes, a long whoosh, and a chime. Sometimes, it's silent or the opening theme.

Audio Variant: On international prints of Love Potion #9, the 1981 20th Century Fox fanfare is heard, due to an obvious plaster error.

Availability: Can be seen on Folks!, Man Trouble, and House of Cards (1992), among others. The European variants can be found on international prints of A Bronx Tale, Love Potion #9, as well as some Castle Rock Entertainment films.
