Nicknames: "The Other V of Steel", "V of Heaven"

Logo: Sort of like the 1980s New World Pictures logo, we see rows of bars turning inward extremely close to the camera, from bottom to top. A spotlight lights up the background behind them. The spotlight fades as we zoom out to reveal a large stylized filled triangle made up of six progressively smaller V's. "VILLAGE ROADSHOW PICTURES" fades in below.

Variant: The font for "VILLAGE ROADSHOW PICTURES" changed to a different font and the entire logo is tinted silver starting with Dark Shadows, released on May 11, 2012.

FX/SFX: The forming of the "V".

Trivia: The logo was animated by yU+Co.

Cheesy Factor: The CGI, though good, seems like a ripoff of the classic New World Pictures logo.

Music/Sounds: • 1998-2005: Uses a shorted version of the Roadshow Films theme. • 2005- : Uses the Roadshow Entertainment music. • In other cases, it uses the opening movie theme or music from any given soundtrack.
