Miramax Films (1987-1999) Logo Remake

Nicknames: "The M", "The Big M", "Flashing M", "The Miramax M", "The Blue M"

Logo: A blue "M" in Gill Sans Ultra Bold zooms out to the left of the screen (à la the MTM logo). It scrolls to the right, revealing "MIRAMA" in gold, and when it gets to the end, it disappears in a flash of light, revealing an "X". The word "FILMS" (which is spaced out to fit the width of "MIRAMAX") fades in below with lines above and below it. A large "M" in black with a glowing blue corona surrounding it zooms out and borders the logo.

Variants:

On some earlier films released before 1993, the word "presents", in script, appears under the logo.
On some scope versions of the logo, the top and bottom edges of the "Big M" touch the black borders, or are cut off.
Sometimes, the logo fades out early while the rest of the music plays.
Rarely, the text would be silver.
On Ready to Wear, when the "M" zooms out, the entire logo zooms out even further.
For films released outside North America, "FILMS" was replaced with "INTERNATIONAL."
In Australia, the Roadshow Television logo transitions to this variant.
On television broadcasts, "FILMS" was replaced with "TELEVISION."
On some films, such as The Wings of the Dove, "FILMS" is omitted.
FX/SFX: The zooming out of the "M", the glowing letters, the flash, the "Big M".

Music/Sounds: A calm synthesizer jingle composed by Jack Maeby. In other cases, it's silent or uses the opening theme of the movie.

Music/Sounds Variants:

On Pulp Fiction, the theme fades out early on the third-to-last note.
On films such as Don't Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood, and It's Just the Two of Us, the double pitched music from the Family Films variant of the logo is heard.
