'''2 Entertain''' is a British music and video publisher, founded in September 2004, following a merger between [[BBC Video]] and [[Video Collection International]], Video Collection International's legal name was changed 2 Entertain Video as a result of the merger, but their logo was still used on 2 Entertain's releases until September 2005. For its first two years, they retained the [[Cinema Club]] label, which was used for low cost releases, while their label would be used for full cost releases. BBC Worldwide owned 60% of the company until 2010, when the company purchased The Woolworth Group's share of 40%. As of November 2012, the 2 Entertain name is only used on occasional non-BBC releases.

'''Visuals:''' Same as the 1995-2005 Video Collection International logo.
 
'''Technique:''' CGI animation.
 
'''Audio''': Same as the 1995 VCI logo.
 
'''Availability''': Can be seen on early 2 Entertain releases after it was formed when VCI and BBC Video merged in September 2004. VCI's legal name was renamed to 2 Entertain Video after the merger, but their logo was used until September 2005 and appeared on the packaging of releases until June 2005.
* Seen on releases such as the 2004 UK DVD release of ''Tim Vine: Live'', and the 2005 UK DVD of ''Manchester United: Season Review 2004-2005'', among others.
* It is also seen on some releases from [[Channel 4 Video]], such as the 2004 UK DVD releases of ''Dave Gorman's Googlewhack Adventure'', and ''Jimmy Carr Live'', among others until Channel 4 ended their partnership with 2 Entertain and set up their own distribution unit [[Channel 4 DVD]].
* It is also seen on releases from their low-cost label Cinema Club, such as the 2004 UK DVD release of ''Santa Claus The Movie (1985)'', and the 2005 UK DVD release of ''Joe Pasquale: Live and Squeaky'' (which had been previously been released on VHS by VCI in 1996), among others.
* It can also be found on the ''Thomas and Friends'' UK VHS/DVD releases ''It's Great to Be an Engine!'', ''Peep Peep Hurray! Three Cheers for Thomas!'', and ''Bumper Party Collection!''.
* Releases that came out between June and September 2005 such as ''Fifi and the Flowertots: Fifi's Talent Show'' feature 2 Entertain's logo on the cover, but VCI's logo is on the actual release.
* BBC releases do not use this logo despite the merger, as the BBC Video logo was used on BBC releases and it followed the 2nd logo until 2009. The BBC Home Entertainment logo followed the 2 Entertain logo on releases between 2009-2012, until BBC Home Entertainment started to self distribute releases.
