Today, it's a subsidiary of TimeWarner.
1st Logo
(1988-1990)
Nickname: "Ladder"
Logo: It's the same logo as the movie version of New Line Cinema, but the animation is sped-up.
FX: Same as the New Line Cinema 1987 logo.
Music/Sounds: Just the end title theme playing over it.
Availability: Can still be seen on Freddy's Nightmare reruns on Chiller.
Scare Factor: Same as the 1987 movie logo.
2nd Logo
(1995- )
Nickname: "CGI Ladder"
Logo: It's the same movie logo as New Line Cinema. But this time, "TELEVISION" replaces the word "CINEMA" with a line seperating the logo with a company byline underneath.
Variants: There were different variations of the logo:
Bylines: The company used different bylines.
FX: Just the light flashing or animating behind the logo.
Music/Sounds: The last few notes of the movie theme. Years later, there were different themes. Other times, it's just silent.
Music/Sound Variants:
Availability: Quite common. Seen on The Lost World, The Mask: The Animated Series, Blade: The Series, Masterminds, the 2002 version of The Twilight Zone, Family Foreman on TV Land (due to the compressed at the bottom) among others.
Scare Factor: Depending on the logo variant:
