2nd Logo (1994)

Nicknames : "Lion Triangle II", "The Trimark Lion II"

Logo : The usual Trimark triangle, now black with white stripes, is placed on a white background. The lion head is a mix of gold and black colors, so is the name word. There are also shadows can be seen. An airplane flies below, creating "INTERACTIVE".

FX/SFX : The airplane creating word.

3rd Logo (1994)

Nicknames : "16-Bit Lion Triangle", "Lion Triangle III", "The Trimark Lion III"

Logo : On a black background, the text "TRIMARK INTERACTIVE" 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.

Variant : 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.

FX/SFX : The gray triangle dropping, the lion fading in.

Music/Sounds : A little gunshot sound effect (which is really a sound of fallen stone). None for the still version.

Availability : Rare. The fully-animated version was seen on the Super Nintendo version of Warlock.

4th Logo (1995)

Nicknames : "Lion Triangle IV", "The Trimark Lion IV"

Logo : On a black background, we see the then-current Trimark Pictures logo of the era, except the word "PICTURES" was replaced by "INTERACTIVE", which was in gold, and it appears to be in the same font as the "TRIMARK" word. Plus the logo is more golden, and the whole logo is surrounded by a blue light, a la the New Line Cinema logo.

FX/SFX : None.

Music/Sounds : The opening theme of the game.

Availability : Seen only on White Men Can't Jump for Atari Jaguar.

5th Logo (1995)

Nicknames : "Lion Triangle in Space", "Lion Triangle V", "The Trimark Lion V", "The Trimark Lion in Space"

Logo : On a space background, we see a dark green triangle with a golden lion head inside it surrounded by a purple light. Below is the words "TRIMARK INTERACTIVE" written in a gold, same font as in the first logo. The dark green triangle is also carved in stone and in metal, not unlike that used for 20th Century Fox's.

Variant : On National Lampoon's Blind Date, there is no light surrounding the triangle.

FX/SFX : None.

Music/Sounds : None.

Availability : Rare. It can be seen on The Hive for PlayStation and PC. Also appears on National Lampoon's Blind Date.
