1994–2005[]

Starz 1994
Designer:  Unknown
Typography:  Custom
Launched:  February 1, 1994

Starz! was launched on February 1, 1994, with a logo consisting of two stars inside each other and a wordmark inspired by 1930s-era movie poster typography. Its initial on-air presentation reflected this theme, featuring a CGI movie theater, until May 2002, when it was switched for a package based on natural themes such as water (although this later look was not carried to the rest of its channels).
