'''Logo:''' On a black background, we see the letters "{{color|gold|RHI}}" coming from the bottom of the screen toward the center, rotating. When in place, they separate to show the name "{{color|gold|Robert Halmi, Inc.}}". Afterwards, "{{color|gold|A}} fades in above "{{color|hold|Robert Halmi, Inc}}" along with "{{color|gold|Production}}" below it.

*The color of the text can vary depending on the production.

*Sometimes, the text "In Association With" fades in with the other text.

*Sometimes, the logo features the copyright byline under the name, depending on the movie.

'''Music/Sounds:''' None or the ending theme of the movie/show.

'''Logo:''' On a black background, the large {{color|steelblue|blue}} CGI letters "{{color|steelblue|'''RHI'''}}" flip from the top and land in the middle of the screen, with a {{color|red}} line and "RHI Entertainment, Inc." appearing below.

*In later years, "A Division of Hallmark Entertainment" appears under the logo.

*There is an early version where it had a more metallic look, and it was set over a {{color|blue}}/black gradient. The text below is just "entertainment, inc." and in a different font, and RHI comes up from the bottom.

*A B&W variant exists.

*Sometimes, the text "in association with" in white (or {{color|hotpink|hot pink}}, in the case of Nickelodeon's ''The Secret World of Alex Mack'') appears above the logo.

*At the beginning of some programs, "Presents" is added under "RHI Entertainment, Inc.". A Spanish version of this variant exists.

*Sometimes, the text under the {{color|red}} line reads "An RHI Entertainment, Inc. Production".

*On ''Scarlett'', a simple drawing of the logo is superimposed over the ending credits.

*A filmed variation appears on the TV movies ''The Secret'' (1992) and ''Robinson Crusoe'' (1997).

'''Music/Sounds:''' None, or the ending theme or the show.

 

*One time, this logo appeared with the same music from the [[Qintex Entertainment]] logo, due to this logo plastering it on ''Lonesome Dove''.

*On some prints of the 1991 TV movie ''Bump in the Night'', the [[Craig Anderson Productions]] theme plays over the early version due to bad plastering. On the original CBS airing, the RHI logo was seen silent, followed by the aforementioned logo.  

*It's seen on the first season of Nickelodeon's ''The Secret World of Alex Mack'' on DVD, the last two seasons of ''Kids Incorporated'' and on TV movies reran on Hallmark Channel and ION.

*RHI slapped this logo onto its prints of Hal Roach films and Robert Halmi productions in the early 1990s, and it can be seen on the ''Little Rascals'' VHS collections released by [[Cabin Fever Entertainment]] and on Me-TV.

*Recently, the third logo plastered this on ''Lonesome Dove'', leaving again Qintex's jingle intact.

'''Logo:''' On a stylized {{color|saddlebrown|brown}} or black background, a "{{color|gold}}" plate with the word "{{Font|Times New Roman|'''HALLMARK'''}}" on it backwards fills the screen. As the camera backs away, it's revealed to be a stamp that stamps a {{color|silver}} rectangle as the image turns around. The rectangle continues to rotate until it stops in the center, revealing the following text on it with lines above and below it reading "{{Font|Times New Roman|'''HALLMARK''' ENTERTAINMENT}}".

*Sometimes, either the text "{{Font|Times New Roman|Distributed By}}" or "{{Font|Times New Roman|In Association With}}" fades in after the logo forms.

*A filmed version exists.

*Sometimes, this logo is videotaped.

'''Availability:''' Rare. It used to be seen on reprints of [[Filmation Associates|Filmation]] shows of that time like ''Fat Albert'' or ''He-Man'', but current prints of their shows are owned by other companies like [[Warner Bros. Television]] and [[DreamWorks Animation]]. It also appeared on UPN's short lived series ''Live Shot'' and on TV movies that they produced such as ''Bye Bye, Birdie''.

'''Logo:''' On a black background, we see a stylized "{{color|silver|'''H'''}}" made of ribbons, which is surrounded by a box zooming in, while "{{color|silver|{{Font|Times New Roman|'''HALLMARK''' ENTERTAINMENT}}}}" in a Times New Roman font moves up and places itself under the box. When it's completed, the logo zooms back a bit.

*A filmed version exists.  

*Sometimes, "Distributed by" or "In Association With" appears above the logo.  

*At the beginning of some TV movies, "PRESENTS" appears below.  

*Occasionally, the copyright stamp is omitted.  

*There is a version where the logo appears on a {{color|goldenrod|dusty light yellow}} background. The border is smaller while the text is much larger, and both are in black.

*A still variant without the "{{color|silver|'''H'''}}" logo can be seen on a few 2000s TV movies, like ''The Poseidon Adventure'' and ''Earthsea'', among others.

*It's retained on DVD releases of ''The Secret World of Alex Mack'' and ''Farscape''.

*This can be seen on the 1996 TV movie pilot of ''Sabrina, the Teenage Witch'', which despite being produced by [[Viacom (1952-2006)|Viacom Productions]] (like its TV show) isn't surprisingly owned by CBS these days.

*On recent prints of ''Alice in Wonderland'' (1999 TV movie), the Sonar Entertainment logo plasters this one.  

*The IAW variant appeared on the original CBS airing of ''Get To The Heart: The Barbara Mandrell Story''.

'''Logo:''' On a black background, we see several {{color|blue}} lights that reveal the text "{{Font color|silver|{{Font|Times New Roman|'''RHI ENTERTAINMENT'''}}}}" in a chromed Times New Roman font, with "RHI" being larger on the top. The blue light continues throughout the logo.

*Short and shorter versions exists.

*There is a still version of the logo without any lights and the text is in plain white.

'''Music/Sounds:''' A five note piano tune combined with some small whoosing sounds, followed by an orchestral finish, or the ending theme of the movie.

'''Music/Sounds Variants:''' On current prints of ''Lonesome Dove'', this logo uses the Qintex music due to plastering the [[Qintex Entertainment]] logo.

'''Logo''': On a black background, we see several multicolored lines rapidly zooming out. Then, as we zoom out, we see them at an angle forming the word "SONAR". Once the word shifts into place, the word "E N T E R T A I N M E N T" fades in below, and several thin colored lines appear vertically above and below the words.

*Another version has a white background with the word "{{color|blue|SONAR}}" in {{color|blue}} and "E N T E R T A I N M E N T" in black. On ''Go Away, Unicorn!'', there's the text "PRODUCED AND DISTRIBUTED BY" above the logo and a copyright notice below it.  

*On The Movie Central's YouTube print of Part 1 of the TV miniseries ''Snow Queen'', the text from the 1994 Hallmark Entertainment logo is seen scrolling up from the bottom of the logo, and then disappearing into it, due to a terrible plastering error.  

'''Music/Sounds Variant''': On current prints of ''To Dance with Olivia'', the early Hallmark Entertainment theme is used due to bad plastering.  

'''Availability''': Common. It usually plasters Hallmark and RHI-related logos on almost every new print of their movies. Recent series with this logo includes ''Mr. Mercedes'', ''The Shannara Chronicles'', ''Go Away, Unicorn!'' and AMC's ''The Son'', among others. On a Starz Encore airing of ''Earthsea'', this plastered the Hallmark Entertainment logo.
