===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. 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.

'''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.

'''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 the Nintendo DS. The normal in-credit variant appears on ''The Dating Guy'', while the "KIDS" one appears on series 3 of ''Peppa Pig''.

'''Editor's Note:''' None.
'''Editor's Note:''' A nice logo for the time. It's a shame that this was short-lived, as it lasted just two years. However, the Family version fares worse as it only appeared on the aforementioned title.

'''Logo:''' On a black background, we see a dark sphere surrounded by a {{Font color|blue|blue}} light. An "e" then rises up from the sphere. Then the letter and sphere start to zoom out and shift to the left, while "ne" slide in from behind the sphere to the right. As the logo zooms out, the sphere becomes an "o", the letters become boxed, the box turns {{Font color|blue|blue}}, and the word "{{Font color|blue|entertainment'''one'''}}" in {{Font color|blue|blue}} wipes in to the right below the box.

* It was originally considered uncommon and could be seen on 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 more distribution forces however, the logo became much more widespread.

'''Editor's Note:''' A well-liked logo amongst logo fans in general.
'''Editor's Note:''' The animation is great to look at, with the usage of this logo also becoming a step-up from the previous. Again, as with the previous logo, the Family version was sadly wasted.
