Visuals: On a grainy dark brown background with a white shade in the middle is the futuristic-looking text "SPECTATOR" emerging from the background as 6 dual-shaded hemispheres zoom out and rotate around the screen. The camera slowly zooms out as well. The hemispheres come together to form an abstract flower as they move up and slowly stop rotating, right as the brown script "films" fades in below.
Variant: Most of the time, the logo is still.
Technique: Cel animation, or none.
Audio: A three-note piano jingle or the closing theme of the movie.
Availability: Can be found on TV movies such as Amityville: The Evil Escapes (animated variant), The Hijacking of the Achille Lauro and Fatal Love (still variant).
2nd Logo (January 14, 1990-1999)
Visuals: On a black background is the abstract flower from before is seen rotating as it emits a blue haze, and the camera zooms and rotates into place, revealing the "SPECTATOR" text from before. After the camera settles into place, the flower glows brightly as "films" is written below and emits another haze throughout, right as the flower stops rotating and starts shining.
Variants:
- TV movies sometimes use the shortened or sped-up version.
- On Joshua's Heart, there is a print version of the logo.
- The blue color might be instead purple, or the text might be pure white.
Technique: CGI.
Audio: A 5-note dramatic piano theme with four light chime plucks, ending with a piano-violin note. Other films have a dramatic piano-chime fanfare.
Availability: Seen on TV movies and several regular films, including Terminal Justice, The Amy Fisher Story, Wedlock (Deadlock) and In a Stranger's Hand.
