Visuals: On a black background, the text "TRIMARK I N T E R A C T I V E" appears near the bottom of the screen in a gold font, with "TRIMARK" in the same font as the movie logo. Suddenly, a gray triangle drops above the text. After the gray triangle finishes dropping, a 16-bit profile of a lion's head (from the Trimark Pictures logo) fades in over the triangle.

On the Sega Genesis version of Warlock, there is a still version of the logo without "INTERACTIVE" text under it. Plus, there's no music.
On White Men Can't Jump for Atari Jaguar, the logo is entirely gold similar to the movie logo, surrounded by a blue light a la the 1994 New Line Cinema logo. It is also not animated.
