About The TriStar Pictures Logo

The company's logo of a Pegasus (either stationary or flying across the screen), introduced in 1984, has become something of a cultural icon. The second logo was originally painted by Alan Reingold and debuted in 1992, along with sister studio Columbia Pictures, sharing both on-screen logos (as well as Merv Griffin Enterprises) to use the "Cloud BG" featured in Columbia "Torch Lady" logos. The theatrical version was animated by Intralink Creative in 1993. The background is nighttime blue. The clouds are orange.

The short TriStar theme, which accompanied the studio's ident, was composed by Dave Grusin.

Famous quotes containing the word pictures:

    Then my verse I dishonour, my pictures despise,
    My person degrade & my temper chastise;
    And the pen is my terror, the pencil my shame;
    And my talents I bury, and dead is my fame.
    William Blake (1757–1827)
