Jerry Bruckheimer Films/Summary

 Background : Don Simpson/Jerry Bruckheimer Films was founded in the 1980s by movie producers between Don Simpson and Jerry Bruckheimer. Together, the duo had produced some of the most successful movies of the 1980s, including Flashdance, the Beverly Hills Cop series and Top Gun. The company didn't use a logo until 1990 on Days of Thunder. However, when Simpson died in 1996, it was renamed to "Jerry Bruckheimer Films", with the new logo first appearing on Con-Air.

=Don Simpson/Jerry Bruckheimer Films= (June 27, 1990-June 7, 1996, July 18, 2003, May 13, 2019, September 4, 2019-May 27, 2022)

Nickname : "The Lightning"

Logo : We start with the footage of moving dark clouds. Then two lightning bolts come down and crash, turning the picture to a tint of hellish red. It zooms out enclosed in a square on a black background, as the company name appears in red at the bottom of the screen.

Variants :
 * Sometimes, the square is bigger and the text is smaller.
 * The teaser trailer for Days of Thunder just has the text.
 * At the end of Bad Boys, the print logo is in-credit along with the Columbia Pictures closing logo.
 * The trailers for Bad Boys for Life and Top Gun: Maverick have the logo minus the name.

FX/SFX: Live-action and Computer Graphics.

Music/Sounds : The opening theme of the movie, accompanied by the sounds of thunder. At times, only the thunder is heard.

 Music/Sounds Variant : On Top Gun: Maverick, the thunder sounds are absent, keeping the status up with the Paramount logo that opens the original.

Availability : Scarce. During its original run, this logo appeared on films like Days of Thunder, Crimson Tide, Dangerous Minds and The Rock. Since Simpson's death in 1996, Jerry Bruckheimer has opted to retain this logo on sequels to films he produced with Simpson during his lifetime, with this logo reinstated for Bad Boys II and Bad Boys for Life. It will likely reappear on Top Gun: Maverick, since its trailer uses the logo as well. Does not appear on The Ref.

=Jerry Bruckheimer Films= (June 6, 1997- )

Nickname : "The Oregon Tree"

Logo : We zoom down a road, as a thunderstorm brews above. Lightning strikes multiple times, as we encounter a leafless tree. Lightning strikes it, and leaves instantly appear on the tree. The screen freezes and zooms out in a square on the black background, revealing the same yellow text as before but slightly thinner and smaller.

Trivia : The tree is based on an actual tree as well as the rest of the logo. Located in a remote part of Oregon.

Variants :
 * A prototype version of the logo is seen at the end of Con Air, where we see footage of the same tree in the desert with moving thundering clouds. However, the tree already has the leaves. The lightning hits the tree and the footage zooms out to be enclosed by the square to reveal the same text. The footage freezes and becomes still. This version also appeared on its trailers.
 * On the aforementioned film, the logo is slightly longer, and the box above the text is bigger.
 * On films since 2004, it’s mainly the same animation with a thin yellow rectangle added around the clip, the camera keeps zooming out, revealing that the clip is now in a rectangle, until the lightning strikes on the tree, the screen fades out.
 * Glory Road (its variation) and 12 Strong has the regular logo without the text.
 * The print logo appears during the end of Deliver Us From Evil.
 * On the 1998 TV movie Max Q and the 1999 TV movie Swing Vote, there's a short version beginning with the lightning strike.

FX/SFX : CGI.

Music/Sounds : Just the sounds of the wind and thunder. In 2004, some of the thunder sounds were replaced with new, more realistic thunder sound effects.

Music/Sounds Variants :
 * On Coyote Ugly (2000) and Kangaroo Jack (2003), the film's opening theme is heard, with the wind and lightning sounds intact.
 * On Confessions of a Shopaholic, the film's opening theme is heard instead of any of the usual sounds.
 * At the end of Black Hawk Down (2001), it's silent.

Availability : Common. It premiered at the start of Con Air, and has since appeared on subsequent Bruckheimer productions. The later variant appears on films from 2004 onward, beginning with National Treasure (though it does not appear on The Sorcerer's Apprentice). Does not appear on Remember the Titans.
