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. It was renamed to Entertainment One Fund in 2005. That June, it acquired Koch Entertainment, thus expanding their distribution network in Canada and the United States. Throughout the years, eOne built regional home entertainment divisions in the United Kingdom (based on [[Contender Entertainment Group (UK)|Contender Entertainment]] 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 (Canada)|Oasis International]], [[Blueprint Entertainment (Canada)|Blueprint Entertainment]] and [[Barna-Alper Productions (Canada)|Barna-Alper Productions]]. Since 2007, eOne has been distributing films for cinemas. They later acquired [[Hopscotch Films (Australia)|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 distributed and released additional kids content made under the [[Kaboom! Entertainment (Canada)|Kaboom! Entertainment]] label in Canada and the United States. In 2019, after [[Hasbro, Inc.|Hasbro]] acquired Entertainment One, their future properties began using the eOne name, absorbing the [[Allspark Pictures|Allspark]] name with it a year later. | 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.

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. | '''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.

'''Logo:''' It 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'''". | |||
