'''Nickname:''' "Static Wheel" | |||
'''Logo:''' A sky blue square flashes and zooms in quickly, simulating a TV being turned on. A series of static particles appear and then turn blue and white as they roll around and combine together. They then form a newer Mill Creek Entertainment logo, with a redesigned wheel, looking more like a gear, and the company name below in a different font. The logo slowly zooms in before it disappears in a TV switch-off effects. | |||
'''FX/SFX:''' The particles moving around and forming the logo. Plenty of effort this time, with some pretty good animation to boot. | |||
'''Music/Sounds:''' A switch-on sound, an ascending droning noise, then a synth note and a switch-off sound. | |||
'''Availability:''' Common. Seen on all Mill Creek releases from 2011-17 such as re-releases of ''That's '70s Show'' and ''3rd Rock from the Sun.'' Strangely, on some DVDs, the packaging may have this logo, but the previous logo appears on the DVD! | |||
'''Scare Factor:''' Minimal to low. The static may startle some, but this is a good logo. | |||
