The Zanuck Company

Background : This is the production company of the late Richard D. Zanuck, his wife Lili Fini Zanuck, and (at one point) Jerry Perenchio.

(December 15, 1989-December 17, 2008) Nicknames : "Z of Doom", "Red Z", "Z for Zanuck"

Logo : On a gradually zooming black background, a Z is drawn stroke by stroke. During the drawing of the last stroke, the letters "THE ZANUCK COMPANY" fade in one by one.

Variant : At the end of Yes Man, the logo is still.

FX/SFX : The drawing and letters fading in. 2D animation.

Cheesy Factor : For 1989, there could have been better animation.

Music/Sounds : A whoosh followed by a synth chord ending with some bells. None for the still version.

Availability : Appears on Driving Miss Daisy, Rush, and Mulholland Falls, among others. Most of the time, The Zanuck Company doesn't use a logo.

Scare Factor : Low to medium. The dark atmosphere and the music may put off some.
