Background
Seven Arts Pictures was a low-profile/B-movie distribution company established on July 19, 1990, as a joint venture between Carolco Pictures and New Line Cinema (now part of Warner Bros. Pictures), and was headed by Mario F. Kassar. It didn't last long, as the joint venture collapsed by 1992; former Carloco CEO Peter Hoffman would later take the Seven Arts name and revive it as an independent studio. Today, the entire Seven Arts library is owned by StudioCanal. Seven Arts Pictures is not to be confused with Ray Stark and Eliot Hyman's "Seven Arts Productions".

1st Logo (September 14, 1990)
Visuals: Over a black background, the logo starts with many stars forming a blue box with a stylized "7A" inside it, with "S E V E N" above and "A R T S" below. Then the byline "THROUGH NEW LINE CINEMA" (with its print logo) appears on the bottom right of the screen.
Variant: On the trailer for Repossessed, a 2D version appears in grey, with the byline in a whitish color.
Technique: CGI.
Audio: It starts out with some tinkles when the stars are forming the logo, then 7 synth-horn notes and a descending, relaxing synth theme.
Audio Variant: Some prints of Repossessed have the Carolco jingle instead.
Availability: Its only known appearance was on Repossessed
2nd Logo (September 28, 1990-May 15, 1992)
Visuals: On a black background, there is a shiny blue "7A" zooming out. The Seven Arts text is then seen at a certain point. The logo shines, and the New Line byline fades in.
Variant: There is a version without the byline.
Technique: CGI.
Audio: A peaceful synth choir theme.
Audio Variant: A French VHS of The Dark Wind presumably overlaid the film's French audio track onto what was supposed to be a U.S. theatrical print (it went straight-to-video in America, after a planned theatrical release fell through). As a result, the Seven Arts jingle is replaced with that of UGC, the film's French distributor.
Availability: Seen on Rambling Rose and The Dark Wind (the latter a casualty of the company's collapse, as it would not see a domestic release until after the company's last production was released). It's also seen on the Canadian Cineplex Odeon VHS of Queens Logic, in addition to Tubi's print, after the FilmRise logo. The bylineless version is seen on Dice Rules. It may have been seen on some theatrical prints of Defenseless, Get Back (the Paul McCartney concert film), and Sweet Talker, but the home video releases show no evidence. However, it is preserved on Tubi's print of Defenseless, after the FilmRise logo. Its first appearance was on King of New York, which has not preserved it on home video releases.
3rd Logo (June 12-August 21, 1992)
Visuals: Over an orange or purple cloudy background, a 3D cube rotates into view from the top left. When it's facing the screen, lasers etch the "7A" logo in the center, then the etching explodes, leaving behind the standard "7A" logo. The Seven Arts text appears, and the New Line byline fades in below.
Technique: CGI.
Audio: A synth trumpet leading into a synth orchestra fanfare when the logo explodes. Some laser zaps are heard when the lasers etch the logo.
Availability: Seen on Light Sleeper and Aces: Iron Eagle III, both released after its collapse (the latter had its release delayed a few months in the aftermath). It is unknown whether it appeared on Incident at Oglala, which Miramax had picked up following the studio's demise.
