Saturn Films

Background :Saturn Films is the company owned by Nicholas Cage.

1st Logo (May 15, 2000)

Logo:  On a black background, the yellow Saturn zooms in, while the single ring swirls around it. Before the Saturn stops, the word of company name appears below it, also in yellow. Then the logo fades out.

FX/SFX : Moving planet and the ring.

Music/Sounds : A dramatic choir tune.

Availability : Only on Shadow of the Vampire.

Scare Factor : Low.

2nd Logo (December 22, 2000- )

Logo:  The blue ring, which looks like a recording disc, zooms in. The planet follows it. There is a camera lens on top of the planet. The structure stands into usual position, then multiple words SATURN slide from right, forming the company name with FILMS in smaller font below. Then the logo goes in reverse with three still-shot effects, and during the still-shot everything flashes inverted gold.

Variants:
 * Sometimes the Saturn logo just fades out.
 * On Bad Lieutenant (2009) the still print version was used.
 * On The Life of David Gale,the logo is in black and white.

FX/SFX : The whole animation of the planet, the rings moving, the name sliding.

Music/Sounds : We start off with a metallic clang, then a higher version, then an electronic whirring sound with some whooshes held out till the end of the logo.

Availability : Common. Seen on every film from this company, starting with The Family Man. Oddly, this logo dosen't appear on every National Treasure film.

Scare Factor : Low. The reverse effect could unnerve some.
