Background: Trilogy Entertainment Group is the production company of Pen Densham and John Watson (the producers of Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves).

1st Logo (1993-Early 2000's)[]

Nickname: "Shiny Triangle"

Logo: On a dark blue background with a gold triangle behind and a circle in it, we see rings of fire, which absorbs into the circle. Afterwards, "TRILOGY", spaced out and with a line below it, fades in, shining, with "ENTERTAINMENT GROUP" below. 

FX/SFX: Nice CGI.

Music/Sounds: An epic-sounding fanfare, with some sparkling sounds after the logo finishes.

Availability: Can be seen on early episodes of The Outer Limits. It was also seen on Space Rangers.

Editor's Note: The warping fire may be jarring, but that's more due to the logo's abrupt entrance than anything.

2nd Logo (1995-2007)[]

Nicknames: "Shiny Triangle II"

Logo: On a black background, we see triangle outline-shaped blue light shining from the top center. In the center of the triangle, more light comes out, in the shape of a circle, forming the Trilogy logo from before. The light dies down into a glow, as the background turns dark blue, and the company name appears below, glowing in blue. 

Variants

  • Sometimes, "ENTERTAINMENT GROUP" would not appear on the bottom. This appears on Poltergeist: The Legacy, the TV movie Brother's Keeper, the short-lived series Breaking News, and the 2002 revival of The Twilight Zone.
  • There is a short version in which the circle forms the Trilogy logo only.
  • At the end of Just Buried, the print version was used as an in-credit logo.

FX/SFX: The logo forming.

Music/Sounds: A dramatic remix of the theme from the previous logo. The short version had the first three notes in warp speed, then it ends with the last note.

Music/Sounds Variant: On Brother's Keeper and Breaking News, the closing theme is heard.

Availability: Appeared on The Outer LimitsPoltergeist: The Legacy , The Magnificent Seven, and the 2002 revival of The Twilight Zone, all of which exist on DVD.

3rd Logo (March 1, 2012- )[]

Nickname: "Silver Triangle"

Trivia: The logo was made and animated at Becker Design.

Logo: We zoom out from a silver sphere as a ring flips around on the dark cerulean gradient background. Two different triangles flip up as 2 lines draw and "TRILOGY" flips and zoom out. "ENTERTAINMENT GROUP" then flips in as the logo is fully formed.

FX/SFX: CGI-Animation from Becker Design.

Music/Sounds: A calm remix of the logo's theme.

Availability: First appeared on The Phantom. The logo with the theme can be seen at Becker Design's official site (www.aaronbecker.tv)
