1st Logo (1976-1985)[]
Nicknames: "The Lion King", "The Sitting Lion Wizard"
Logo: A king's chair in a sky blue background zooms out. A lion then walks in, facing the screen upon reaching the chair (or center), raises its hand and waves its wand up moving from left to right, making magic dust transforming into its company name in red color (and the white PRESENT text). The lion puts it's hands down and sits (just like a king).
FX/SFX: Traditional animation. But while everything was animated, its background was just a still, "live" picture of a white curtain.
Music/Sounds: A soft fanfare at the beginning (during the lion walks), and then a majestic fanfare up till the end.
Availability: Very rare. You might want to check prints of their 1970s to early-to-mid-1980s films. Spotted on Dear Mama (a Julie Vega movie) and Ang Leon, Ang Tigre at Ang Alamid.

Logo: Red clouds move in the background, and thunderbolts appear. The words "REGAL FILMS" (in an ugly 70s-era print press font) are revealed when the clouds move away. A moon fades in, and clouds (represented as black silhouettes) move behind it. A red fat capital "R" (that looks suspiciously like the logo for the Renaissance hotel chain), with a yellow crown on top of it, fades in.

3rd Logo (1993-1998)[]
Nicknames: "The Forming Crown", "Another Crown In Space Logo", "That Logo Without the King R", "The Crown"
Logo: The logo starts on a space background with a golden filmstrip taking up most of the screen. The filmstrip then starts moving very fast to start the transformation of the crown. Gold squares fill up the holes and fly off the filmstrip as it starts to form a circle. As the filmstrip forms the circle, the crown starts to form, the points expand to finish the crown's main structure. The gold squares return to finish the crown. As the crown is still spinning, the squares form the bottom ring and the crown's top point tops. The crown stops spinning as a large ray of light shines out of the bottom void of space. The light fill up the whole screen and disappears, leaving the thin blue text, "REGAL FILMS".
Variants:
- A short variant exists.
- Sometimes the logo is on a black outer space background.
- There is a warped version.
- On Go Johnny Go, the logo fades to white instead of black at the end. This might be due to film quality however.
- A videotaped version exists.

4th Logo (1998-2009)[]
Nicknames: "The Regal Filmstrips", "Fireballs and Filmstrips", "King R II", "The King R Returns"
Logo: On a black background, while many fireballs surround the screen, a filmstrip moves in a pattern (a la the 1993 MGM/UA Home Video logo) while we move up towards it. The filmstrips become an R, the fireballs disappear, and the "R" turns from gold to lime green. As the logo zooms toward the center of the screen, five fireballs fly to the top of the "R" and form the crown, which makes the Regal "R" logo complete. The words "REGAL ENTERTAINMENT, INC." (in a font that looks somewhat like Matisse ITC) fade in. A fireball flies across this text, which turns a light gold/brown. The finished logo shines.
Variant:

- Shake, Rattle & Roll 9: The R and crown are made up of christmas lights.

The text "REGAL ENTERTAINMENT, INC". also places underneath the completed logo, while the number "48" places under the text.

FX/SFX/Cheesy Factor: The Regal logo animating. Good CGI quality, but it's very choppy and the final result looks cheap. Also, for the current version, at the end, it looks like they added the animation into a free background loop! And why was the 50th anniversary wordmark still on this logo to the very end?
Music/Sounds: None, or the opening theme of the movie.
Music/Sounds Variant:
- On You're Still The One, a dreamy calm theme from the old logo is heard.
