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. | 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.

As we zoom in and the planet brightens up, we see a large "'''E1'''" structure on it as the planet rotates more and the letters shine by dots of light. Several beams of light shine behind the planet as it becomes solid, and as the logo gets to a comfortable position, it is compressed into a box as "'''ENTERTAINMENT'''" fades in below. The light lines continue to shine and move across the planet. | ||

An "e" then rises up from the sphere as it starts to zoom out and shift to the left, while "ne" slides in from behind the sphere to the right. As it continues zooming out, the sphere becomes an "o", the letters become boxed as it turns {{Font color|blue|blue}}, and the word "{{Font color|blue|entertainment'''one'''}}" wipes in to the right below the box. | ||
