Pandora was a Paris-based film company established in the late 1980s, and it was purchased in 1999 by Gaylord Entertainment Company (now Ryman Hospitality Properties). A year later, the new company Gaylord Films was started, entering a co-financing venture with Warner Bros. Their logos were used together during the lifespan.
Logo: On a white background with grey segmented lines, we see the blue words "pandora". Above the logo is the black words "distributed by:" aligned to the right.
FX/SFX: None.
Music/Sounds: None.
Availability: Seen on the short-lived TV series Hollywood Babylon.
Logo: We see some blue slashes (the second is orange) zooming out from the left as the BG slowly turns from full-black into half black-blue gradient. As this happens, the word "pandora" slowly slides from left where the slashes arrived.
Variant: On the short version, the logo is already formed, and "Distributed by" appears above the name.
FX/SFX: The zoom outs (which are very choppy), and the sliding. This logo, combined with its theme, looks more like an 80s logo than a late 90s/early 2000s one.
Music/Sounds: The opening theme of the movie or a dramatic synth tune. A Walk to Remember has used both versions at various points: the opening theme on most prints, and the synth tune on the 2022 Shout! Factory Blu-ray.
Logo: On a starfield, the name "GAYLORD FILMS" fades in, with "Y" shaped with the extended leg.
Variants:
•The logo sometimes appear on a blue background.
•On the actual feature, the logo is bigger and the text is white and its placed on a grayscale wooden wall.
FX/SFX: Nothing, but the fade in.
Music/Sounds: None.
Logo: On a black background, we see the word "pandora" appearing in metallic chrome lettering.
FX/SFX: None.
Music/Sounds: The opening theme of the movie.
Availability: Seen on Welcome to Collinwood.
Nicknames: "The Key", "Gaylord Key", "Pandora Key"
Logo: We see a key falling from an orange sky. It lands in a hand (by this point the sky is blue), which uses the key to unlock a door. It opens and light comes out, which overtakes the screen. It turns into a keyhole shape, with either one of these texts fading in below:
•"PANDORA", then the byline "a gaylord films company" in spaced-out letters to fit the width of "PANDORA", fades in soon after.
•"GAYLORD" followed by "FILMS" in a smaller font fading in soon after.
Variant: Sometimes, the light scene is only seen. This can be found on the director's cut of Donnie Darko.
FX/SFX: Seems to be a mix of live-action and CGI. Oddly evocative of the Phoenix Pictures logo.
