'''Nicknames:''' "Starry Chyron", "Star Night"
'''Logo:''' We see a black/{{Font color|darkblue|dark blue}} gradient background with dozens of stars. The words "{{font|Times New Roman|RYSHER ENTERTAINMENT}}" in a white Belwe font then fade in. "{{font|Times New Roman|RYSHER}}" is on top of "{{font|Times New Roman|ENTERTAINMENT}}", both words are centered, and two stars fade in on the left and right of "{{font|Times New Roman|ENTERTAINMENT}}".

'''FX/SFX:''' The animation is simple, early CGI.

'''Music/Sounds:''' With a deep pin drop sound and chimes, we hear a jazzy saxophone tune that almost sounds like Kenny G playing.
'''Music/Sounds:''' We first hear a very low chime sound, then a saxophone solo, sounding similar to the style of Kenny G.


'''Availability:''' Uncommon. Seen on early 90s syndicated prints, ''Saved By the Bell'' reruns, which are seen on Me-TV and the DVD box sets. Other local syndicated reruns of ''Saved By the Bell'' now have the NBCUniversal logo instead of this one. The distribution variant is very rare, as new prints of ''Highlander'' do not feature this logo.

'''Nicknames:''' "The Buildings", "City Skyline"
'''Logo:''' On the top half of the screen, we see a silhouette of a city skyline (with hills in the background) at sunset. As it becomes nighttime, the lights in the city buildings are turned on as stars appear, along with the words "{{Font color|burlywood|{{font|Times New Roman|'''RYSHER'''}} ENTERTAINMENT}}" in beige. "{{Font color|burlywood|{{font|Times New Roman|'''RYSHER'''}}}}" is in a large, condensed Times New Roman-style font and "{{Font color|burlywood|ENTERTAINMENT}}" is seen in a smallish font below it. A comet then flies by.
 
'''Logo:''' On the top half of the screen, there is a picture of a city (with hills in the background) at what appears to be sunset. The sun "sets" and the lights in the city buildings are turned on as stars appear, along with the words "{{Font color|burlywood|{{font|Times New Roman|'''RYSHER'''}} ENTERTAINMENT}}" in beige. "{{Font color|burlywood|{{font|Times New Roman|'''RYSHER'''}}}}" is in a large, condensed Times New Roman-style font and "{{Font color|burlywood|ENTERTAINMENT}}" is seen in a smallish font below it. A comet streaks in the sky as the animation finishes.

'''FX/SFX:''' The sky fading and the comet.
'''FX/SFX:''' 2D computer animation.


'''Music/Sounds:''' A mellow horn tune with synth drums plays, with what sounds like a bird screeching (probably just a flute) at the end of the music. In other cases (usually with the "Cox Company" variant), it either uses the opening/closing theme of the show or TV movie or is silent.

'''Logo:''' Modeled on the last logo, this time with more detail; the lights in the buildings flicker on and off and we see car lights moving, the hills have been changed to mountains, and the sky is more {{Font color|darkblue|blueish}} (it was {{Font color|purple|purple}} on the last logo). The words are now done in CGI and {{Font color|peru|copper}}, with "{{Font color|peru|{{font|Times New Roman|'''RYSHER'''}}}}" fading in with a zoom-in and "{{Font color|peru|ENTERTAINMENT}}" just fading in. The byline "{{Font color|peru|A COX COMPANY}}" (with " {{color|peru|COX}}" being the corporate logo) appears beneath the logo, and shortly afterwards, a comet streaks through the sky.
