Entertainment One: Difference between revisions

=== Background ===

Entertainment One (also spelled as "eOne" and formerly Koch Entertainment and E1 Entertainment) began operations in 1973 as the music distributor ROW (Records on Wheels) in Canada, and was renamed to Entertainment One Fund. In June 2005 it acquired Koch Entertainment, thus expanding their distribution network in Canada and US. Throughout the years, eOne built regional home entertainment divisions in the UK (based on [[Contender Entertainment Group (UK)|Contender Entertainment Group]] and [[Maximum Entertainment (UK)|Maximum Entertainment]]), Benelux (based on [[RCV Entertainment (Netherlands)|RCV Entertainment]]), and Canada (formerly [[Seville Pictures (Canada)|Seville Pictures]]). In 2008, eOne also purchased the minor television companies Oasis International, [[Blueprint Entertainment (Canada)|Blueprint Entertainment]] and Barna-Alper. Since 2007, eOne has been distributing films for cinemas. They later acquired Hopscotch Films and [[Alliance Films (Canada)|Alliance Films]] in 2013, and [[Phase 4 Films (Canada)|Phase 4 Films]] and Force Four in 2014. From 2014 until 2016, eOne has been distributed and released additional kids contents made under the Kaboom! label in Canada and the United States. and In 2019, after [[Hasbro, Inc.|Hasbro]] acquired Entertainment One, future properties began using the eOne name, absorbing the [[Allspark Pictures|Allspark]] name with it a year later.   

'''Logo:''' On a dark space background with a {{Font color|blue|blue}} color scheme, we see the planet Earth, which is tinted in {{Font color|blue|blue}} and rotates slowly. As we zoom in and the planet brightens up, we see a large structure on it. As the planet rotates more, we see that it is the large letters "E1", shone by dots of light in the letters. Several beams of light shine behind the planet, which becomes solid, and as "E1" gets to a comfortable position, the logo is compressed into a box and "ENTERTAINMENT" fades in below. The light lines continue to shine and move across the planet.

* There is a still version can be found on TV shows and some trailers for E1-released movies. It is bigger and resembles the print version.

* 2 in-credit versions exist. One is the standard logo, and the other is a variant where the word "KIDS" replaces "ENTERTAINMENT".

'''Availability:''' Rare, as this logo was rather short-lived. It can be seen on DVD releases and films from the company during the era. It also appears on some TV series, such as ''Humf''. Also appears on ''Peppa Pig Fun & Games'' for Nintendo DS. The normal in-credit variant appears on ''The Dating Guy'', while the "KIDS" one appears on series 3 of ''Peppa Pig''.

* 2013-2015: The 2004 Alliance Atlantis fanfare.  

'''Availability:''' Common. Originally was considered uncommon and could be seen on the trailers for eOne shows/movies, TV shows like ''Rookie Blue'' and ''The Firm'', and various DVDs distributed in the UK, Canada, the Netherlands and the US. Since eOne gained distribution forces, the logo became much more widespread. Strangely, this appears on American Netflix and Hulu prints of ''Waste Land'', despite that film being distributed in America through Arthouse Films and eOne only distributing it in Canada--and even more strange is that the logo's audio is louder than the rest of the movie. The logo also shows up on Crackle's print of ''Ace Ventura: Pet Detective'', preceding the Warner Bros. logo. The still version can be found on a few episodes of ''Rob the Robot'' and some other shows. The short version can be also found on ''Rob the Robot'', with the even shorter one appearing on ''The Magic Hockey Skates''. The in-credit "family" version appears on series 4 of ''Peppa Pig''.

'''Logo:''' The logo starts in a similar fashion to the previous logo. Some rings zoom out and place themselves near the top of the O. The rings and the O turn and reveal the front of the square the O is in, the letters "ne" to the right of the O, and a background of zooming squares. The letters in "entertainment" zoom out and place themselves by the square the O is in. After a few seconds, a giant square turns, revealing a black background and one singular "e" and encasing the "One" in it. The final result reads "eOne."

* 2 in-credit versions exist. One is the "eOne" logo in white, and the other is the full "entertainment one" logo with it's original colors.

'''Availability:''' Current. First seen before the trailers of movies made by them, or, outside of the United States, studios such as Lionsgate, Focus Features, or The Weinstein Company. The first TV show on which this logo appeared was ''PJ Masks'' on Disney Junior in US and Kids' CBC in Canada. Also seen on the 3rd season of ''Bitten''. The white in-credit version appears on ''Peppa Pig'' starting from series 5, while the full name one can be found on ''Alien TV''. The still version of the logo began appearing on ''Grey's Anatomy'' since season 15 after Mark Gordon became the president of the company, as well as on episodes of ''Ransom'' on CBS. On Hasbro shows, this can be currently seen on ''My Little Pony: Pony Life'' on Discovery Family in the United States and Treehouse in Canada. This logo was also used as a de-facto home video logo. It was also seen from all various DVDs in the UK, Canada, the Netherlands and the US. As with the 2nd logo since eOne gained distribution forces, the logo became much more widespread.
