'''Nickname:''' "The Spyglass" |
|||
'''Logo:''' We see an ocean environment with mountains in the background on a portable telescope. The ocean then disappears, revealing that a man is looking through the telescope to the right on the ocean background. "SPYGLASS", in the Spectrum MT font and with a transparent 3D glass texture, appears from behind the mountains and moves above the man. Then a box zooms out, surrounding the man on a black screen with "ENTERTAINMENT" wiping in at the bottom of the screen. |
|||
⚫ | |||
* On ''Instinct'' (the first movie to use this logo), "SPYGLASS" appears in plain 2D (sans glass texture) from behind the mountains. |
|||
*On movies shot in 2.39:1 scope, the logo zooms out towards the end to fit the aspect ratio. Some movies, like ''Eight Below'', ''Stay Alive'', ''Underdog'', ''Evan Almighty'' and ''The Love Guru'' use the 16:9 version cropped to 2.39:1. |
|||
*A fullscreen open-matte version exists and was seen on a 4:3 print of ''Dinner for Schmucks''. |
|||
*On 4:3 fullscreen prints of films starting with ''Reign of Fire'', the logo zooms out to a much farther distance than usual. This is because the film was shot in 2.39:1 scope. |
|||
*Starting in 2010, coinciding with the music change, the glass texture on the "SPYGLASS" text is replaced with a shiny {{color|blue}}/white 3D lettering with {{color|gold|golden}} outline, and the water ripples on the ocean are more realistic. |
|||
*On widescreen 16:9 movies with the above variant, the mountains appear further away. |
|||
*On ''No Strings Attached'', the logo cuts to black rather than fading to black. |
|||
*On the TV show ''Miracles'', the logo is shortened to the final few seconds. |
|||
'''FX/SFX:''' Nice combo of live-action and CGI animation! This was done by Picturemill. |
|||
'''Music/Sounds:''' Either a wonderful dramatic piano/string tune (composed by Randy Edelman, who also composed the fanfare for Spyglass's predecessor, [[Caravan Pictures]]), silent or the opening theme of the movie. |
|||
'''Music/Sounds Variants:''' |
|||
*On ''The Sixth Sense,'' the sounds of the water waving and water splashes are heard. |
|||
*On ''The Count of Monte Cristo'' and ''Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins'', the last note is trimmed to fit the logo's duration. |
|||
*On ''The Invisible'', the string portion of the theme plays about a second early. |
|||
*On ''27 Dresses'', the theme is re-orchestrated and in a different key, segueing into the opening theme of the movie. |
|||
*In 2010, starting with ''Leap Year'', the theme is re-orchestrated again; it sounds more powerful and is also in a higher key than the above one. |
|||
*On AMC's print of ''Shanghai Noon'', the theme is low-pitched. |
|||
*On ''Miracles'', 4 piano notes from the theme are heard. |
|||
'''Availability:''' Very common. It's seen on Spyglass movies from 1999 to 2012. It also appeared on the company's website. |
|||
'''Editor's Note:''' A wonderful successor to the Caravan Pictures logo that lasted 13 years. |

⚫ | '''Visuals:''' It's basically an enhanced and more realistic version of the Spyglass Entertainment logo. Like its predecessor, the ocean is reflected in the telescope lens, with the mountains being further back this time around. The "{{font|Serif|SPYGLASS}}" text (in the Hoefler Text font) is now glassier/silvery, and appears behind the man's telescope as opposed to the background. The water in the ocean is more realistic and becomes blue-toned as soon as the box starts zooming out. Finally, the words "{{font|Serif|'''MEDIA GROUP'''}}" fade in with a wiping effect (also in silvery 3D), replacing "{{font|Serif|'''ENTERTAINMENT'''}}" from the Spyglass Entertainment logo. |

*An early television |
* An early television variant exists that debuted on <u>season 17 of ''Project Runway''</u> with a different ocean backdrop. As the box zooms out on a black background, the camera inside the box zooms out of a 2D silhouette of the man and his telescope. The company name wipes in between the box. |
||
** A <u>still version of the aforementioned variant</u> also appears as a closing logo starting with ''Scream'' (2022). |
|||

* The <u>later television variant</u> has a short version of the theatrical logo that starts when the box zooms out, and the first second is sped-up. |
||
*At <u>the end of ''Thanksgiving''</u>, the print logo is seen. |
