Nickname: The Gyroscope
Visuals: On a blue cloudy background, curved metal bars fly by. As it zooms out, it's revealed to be a gyroscope. During the zoom, there are flashes of light. "REVOLUTION" flashes in in front of the gyroscope. As the logo rests in its position, "STUDIOS" flashes in under "REVOLUTION". The letters shine and the globe shimmers.
Variants:
- After the end credits of Punch-Drunk Love, there's a montage which has shortened versions of that and the New Line Cinema logo.
- There's also a short version based on the last second of the logo.
- A still version of the logo can be seen on Hellboy Animated.
- In some movies such as Radio and Little Man, the logo looks sped up at the beginning, when "STUDIOS" flashes under, the logo fades out.
- There exists a 1.14:1 open matte version of the logo for some 35mm uncropped film scan prints.
Technique: CGI.
Audio: Deep whooshing sounds as the bars fly by. When the words are revealed, two soft gusts of wind are heard.
Audio Variants:
- Sometimes, it's silent or uses the opening theme of the movie, with or without the sound effects.
- During the logo's first year, as well as on the 2008 video game Hellboy: The Science of Evil and the company's website from 2002 to 2004, a majestic orchestral fanfare composed by James Newton Howard was used.
Availability: Common. It's seen on films from Revolution Studios such as Click, Rent, The Animal, xXx, The Master of Disguise, Darkness Falls, 13 Going on 30, Little Man, Zoom, Are We There Yet?, Mona Lisa Smile, and The Benchwarmers. The shortened version appears on the series Are We There Yet? on TBS and local syndication and Anger Management: The Series on FX. The version with the orchestrated fanfare appears on Jet Li's The One, America's Sweethearts and Tomcats. Also appears on post-2014 non-US prints of the Morgan Creek films such as the infamous Battlefield Earth.
