'''Logo:''' On a gray background, a giant black circle zooms out to the center, with a blue light passing over it to reveal a gray colored map of the Scandinavian countries (minus Iceland) with latitude and longitude lines, with a shadow underneath. The globe keeps sparkling until the sparks fly out to form the Egmont logo (consisting of the word "EGMONT" in a very '80s Macy's-esque font, with the "E" and "T" connected via a line made to look like a square) via a yellow flash, and then, a pink comet shoots along the bottom to reveal "AUDIO-VISUAL-GROUP".

Finally, one of the following things happens: | ||
* The map transforms into the word "Film" in a cursive font and colored black, transforming the gray background into hot magenta. | |||
* A thick blue border grows around the logo and transforms into a white/blue box, cut diagonally from the upper right to lower left corners, and the text "TRANS WORLD" on it in a tall Arial font. The text is a light red on the white section, and white in the blue section. The background also transforms into black. | |||
The logo remains on screen for a few more seconds before fading out. | |||
'''Variant:''' At the beginning of tapes, the logo would become embossed on a different-colored background (pink for Egmont Film, brown for Trans World) and a warning screen would fade in the language the tape was released in. In the early years, the warning itself would also scroll up. | |||
'''FX/SFX:''' All the animation in the logo, which isn't too bad, despite a few bad effects. | '''FX/SFX:''' All the animation in the logo, which isn't too bad, despite a few bad effects. | ||

'''Logo:''' Against a blue marble background, a yellow square, a spinning blue circle (with part of it broken open), and a green L zoom out, and at the same time, a red square and blue dot zoom in, forming a face at the left of the screen. The face fades out a bit, and some copyright warning text scrolls up a la BFS Video. The face fades back in, and the text "EGMONT" and "FILM" or "ENTERTAINMENT AB" (in white) zoom out to the bottom from both sides of the screen. The left eye of the face (the red circle) winks. | '''Logo:''' Against a blue marble background, a yellow square, a spinning blue circle (with part of it broken open), and a green L zoom out, and at the same time, a red square and blue dot zoom in, forming a face at the left of the screen.

* A short version has the logo starting after the warning screen ends. | |||

'''Editor's Note:''' | '''Editor's Note:''' One thing to note is that from 1992-2004, Egmont Entertainment was largely focused on foreign film distribution and international productions while Nordisk Film was used for domestic production. Starting in 2004, however, [[Nordisk Film (Denmark)|Nordisk Film]] would be used for both domestic and foreign production and distribution. | ||
