(1992-2001)

Sierra Cinemas (1992) Sierra Cinemas (1992)

Nickname: "Pepsi Cups in Outer Space", "The Other 'Space Candy' Trailer", "Robot in Space", "Spaceship Ride"

Logo: We start with two spaceships chasing each other. Then, a robot appears and says "Lock on target" (You can see the words he says at the bottom of the screen). Then a spaceship connects to a ship that looks like the "NO SMOKING" sign. Another spaceship flies through it. It shoots a trash can with the words "PLEASE PITCH IN". We see the robot again, but this time, it says "Your Silence Is Appreciated" and a cup of Pepsi flies next to it. A spaceship flies through Pepsi soft drinks, candies, and boxes of popcorn, and into the words "ENJOY THE SHOW". The logo ends with a screen with the 1992 Sierra Cinemas logo and a text below it reading "THE PLACE TO GO FOR BEST QUALITY ENTERTAINMENT".

Variant: In 1998, the old Pepsi logo was replaced by the new Pepsi logo from the era.

FX/SFX: Early 1990s CGI animation.

Trivia: This logo was based on a policy trailer for some independent theaters and small theater chains.

Music/Sounds: An orchestral theme that sounds a bit like the theme for the TV series Star Trek: The Next Generation.

Availability: Rare, but this logo was digitally restored and remade in 2009. The only source where I can find the real version (without the Sierra Cinemas logos) was on a YouTube video entitled "Caprice Christmas Party 2010",

Scare Factor: Low to Medium. The robot's appearance and his voice may give some people goosebumps.
