===Background===
=== Background ===
In February 1989, '''[[Phoenix Entertainment Group]]''' was acquired by The Hearst Corporation, who owns distributor [[King Features Entertainment]] and it was renamed to '''King Phoenix Entertainment'''. The division was later renamed in 1990 to '''Hearst Entertainment Productions''' after parent [[King Features Entertainment]] was renamed to '''Hearst Entertainment'''.
'''Phoenix Entertainment Group''' was a television production company founded in July 1985 by Gerald W. Abrams, the father of J.J. Abrams. When Phoenix Entertainment was purchased by [[Hearst Entertainment]] in 1989, it was merged with [[King Features Entertainment|King Features]]' movie division, reincorporating it as '''King Phoenix Entertainment''', until it was folded into Hearst in 1990.

'''Logo:''' On a black background, a {{color|orange}} light glows at the bottom-left of screen. From the glow, a white-{{color|orange}} streak swoops up and curves around clockwise forming a giant cursive "P". The words "PHOENIX ENTERTAINMENT GROUP" appear on the bottom of the "P" in a condensed font.
'''Logo:''' Same as the [[Phoenix Entertainment Group]] logo, except after the {{color|orange}} light glows, the cursive "P" is shorter and is in a {{color|lightpink|pinkish}} color and there's an {{color|orange}} tip on the cursive "P" until it disappears. As the tip disappears, the text is changed to "KING PHOENIX ENTERTAINMENT". There is an {{color|orange}} gradient crown that stood next to the word "KING".
 
'''Trivia:''' The logo was designed by Sandy Dvore, who is also known for designing the titles to ''The Partridge Family'' and ''The Young and the Restless''.
 
'''Variant:''' A warp-speed variant exists that has the animation sped-up.
 
'''Later Variant:''' From 1989-1990, the text is changed to "KING PHOENIX ENTERTAINMENT". There is an {{color|orange}} crown next to the word "KING". Also, the cursive "P" is in a {{color|lightpink|pinkish}} color and there's an {{color|orange}} tip on the cursive "P" until it disappears as "KING PHOENIX ENTERTAINMENT" and the {{color|orange}} crown appears in.


'''Technique:''' The glow, and the curve swooshing.
'''Variant:''' A prototype version of the logo exists where the orange tip stays on when the text and the crown appear.


'''Music/Sounds:''' Synth beeps with a whoosh when the "P" forms and ending with a synthesized fade out. The King Phoenix variant has a "ding" sound added to the music as the company name appears. Jerry Goldsmith is the composer.
'''Technique:''' Same as the Phoenix Entertainment Group logo.


'''Music/Sounds Variant:''' Sometimes, the ending theme would play over the logo, or none.
'''Music/Sounds:''' Same as the second music variant of the Phoenix Entertainment Group logo. Sometimes, the end title theme plays over, or the logo is silent.
