At the beginning of Constantine, the Warner brothers logo, crumbles away into dust.

I'm sure there's hundreds out there.

Re: Film companys messing with logos
The Matrix movies have green logos, Gladiator has sepia toned ones. The camera pans over the Paramount logo & into space at the beginning of Event Horizon...

That's a few that spring to mind right now.

Re: Film companys messing with logos
The Cannonball Run is easily my favourite.

Burt Reynolds racing around the 20th Century Fox logo, chased by the Police, who keep bumping into the lights. Then Burt, with that laugh, pops out from the middle of the zero.

Re: Film companys messing with logos
Surprised no-one's mentioned Raiders of The Lost Ark where the Paramount logo morphs into a real mountain.

Slightly different but a favourite of mine is where the 20th Century Fox fanfare at the start of Alien 3 changes into the opening music of the film.

And let's not forget Ralph Wiggum at the start of The Simpsons suddenly popping up in the Fox logo.

The Simpsons movie. Ralph pops out of the 20th Century Fox logo and "sings" the last part of the tune.

Re: Film companys messing with logos
The Innocents is one of the few films where the traditional logo is not accompanied by the usual fanfare music, but with a child singing a lullaby.

Re: Film companys messing with logos
I quite liked the one at the start of Charlies Angels (not a great film i know) where the start of the first scene kinda merges with the logo intro bit with the camera panning right and then zooming into the clouds in the background.

I was going to say that. I will say that the Harry Potter Order Of The Pheonix has a nice Pop out 3D effect on the Blue Ray WB logo.

Re: Film companys messing with logos
The universal logo at the start of Van Helsing.....

The globe catches fire from the bottom and spreads to make a fireball....which morphs into a torch the leader of the gang storming the castle is carrying.

Great thread.

I always quite like how for Alien 3 the 20th Century Fox fanfare turns into a creepy high pitched note, reminiscent of the Alien soundtrack.
