In 1997, Live Entertainment was bought out by Bain Capital, and rebranded the company as Artisan Entertainment in April 1998 in order to disassociate the company with mediocre titles and the controversies that followed the murders of Jose Menendez and his wife. The company expanded with films from [[The Shooting Gallery|TSG Pictures]] and a license agreement with [[Republic Entertainment|Republic Pictures]] in 1998, a deal with [[Discovery Networks|Discovery Communications]] in 1999, and acquiring a stake in [[The Baby Einstein Company]] in 2000.

In 2000, Artisan entered into an agreement with [[Marvel Studios|Marvel Entertainment]] to co-produce features. On September 13, 2000, Artisan launched Artisan Digital Media and iArtisan, two subsidiaries of the company. This was followed in 2001 by the purchase of Canadian film and TV studio Landscape Entertainment, which was later renamed to [[Artisan Television]], only to be reverted to the Landscape moniker when Artisan sold its shares to the studio. The company was acquired by [[Lionsgate Films|Lions Gate Entertainment Corporation]] on December 15, 2003. Artisan was renamed to "Lions Gate Entertainment, Inc." and folded its theatrical subsidiary to [[Lionsgate Films]] and folded its home video division to [[Lionsgate Home Entertainment]], rendering Artisan defunct.

'''Logo:''' On a black background, a blue DVD spins in out of nowhere. A series of seven red lasers then strike the disc as it spins, before coming back with bigger blasts. As they do so, the letters of "ARTISAN", in the same font as before but in a bluish-chrome color, appear one-by-one at an angle. Then, the text rotates to the front, and the disc transforms into a chrome oval which then straightens itself into a rectangle over the text (with a cut at the bottom to fit the "R"). A shape spins underneath between the "R" and the "T", and after the rectangle appears, it spreads out to reveal "HOME ENTERTAINMENT", in an abstract font.
 
'''Variants:''' After the logo completes, an animation occurs depending on the DVD it appears on.
*On the 2003 "Extreme Edition" DVD of ''Terminator 2: Judgement Day'', after the logo completes, liquid metal (representing T-1000's liquid form) drops down from the lower-right of the box, which transforms into "T2" (reflecting the bare T-800 inside it), with the text "EXTREME DVD" ("X" is bigger than the rest of the text) underneath it. The camera does a big zoom-in on the text after it forms.
*On the 2003 DVD of ''Step Into Liquid'', the logo starts when the Artisan text fully appears. After the logo finishes, a tidal wave appears in the background, with Kelly Slater surfing on it.
 
'''Technique:''' 3D computer animation.
 
'''Music/Sounds:''' A series of laser sounds and metallic bangs. The ''T2'' variant has some liquid sloshing followed by a bang when the logo zooms in, while the ''Step Into Liquid'' variant has various synthesized sounds as well as the splashing of the tidal waves.
 
'''Availability:''' Seen only on the DVDs listed above. It may appear as well on some other Artisan DVDs.
