Saban Entertainment: Difference between revisions

* On <u>a tape of ''The New Archies''</u>, the logo fades out early.

'''Audio:''' A 9-note synthesized theme with a descending synth sound, ending in five hits. Composed by Shuki Levy.

'''Availability:''' Appears on releases from the company if you know where to look.  

**The first one is <u>the 2nd half of the logo theme</u>.  

*It appears on ''Mighty Morphin Power Rangers'' and ''Mighty Morphin Alien Rangers'', alongside its spinoffs ''VR Troopers'' and ''Masked Rider'' episodes until "The Dash" (although Netflix and YouTube prints of all those shows plaster all 1988 and 1996 Saban logos with the 2011 [[Saban Brands]] logo instead).

*It also appears on ''X-Men'' and is kept on VHS and DVD releases and all digital prints, including Disney+ for the latter and the complete series box set on DVD, alongside the earlier U.S. "volume" DVD releases from Buena Vista and VHS releases of the show that were given out by Pizza Hut in the early 1990s, as well as the 2009 UK DVD release from [[Clear Vision]].

*The 2010 version only appears on the 2010 remaster of ''Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers'' on ABC Kids.

*The "PRODUCTIONS" variant appears on ''Noozles'' and VHS releases of ''Bumpety Boo''; it was also sighted on the game show ''Couch Potatoes'' when the show was last rerun on the USA Network in the early '90s (followed by the [[Group W Productions]] logo).

*The "INTERNATIONAL" variant is more common and appears on international prints of various Saban shows from the era such as ''C.O.P.S.'', notably English-dubbed anime shows and co-produced shows, alongside shows produced by Saban International Paris.

**It also appears on international broadcasts of ''The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!'', both the 1991 UK VHS releases of ''Samurai Pizza Cats'' and ''Christmas Reindeer Tales'' from [[Entertainment UK]], the 2013 German DVD boxset release of ''Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers: Die Komplette Saga'', and strangely at the start of the 1998 TV movie ''Voyage of Terror'' on the ARD Mediathek website, instead of the next logo due to an editing error.

*It also appears after [[The Landsburg Company]] logo on the UK VHS release of ''The Ryan White Story''.

*It also appears on Peacock's streaming prints of ''Samurai Pizza Cats''.

'''Visuals:''' A group of children, who are ethnically diverse and wearing what appears to be spandex jumpsuits (some are wearing {{color|green}}, some are wearing {{color|red}}, and some are wearing {{color|gold|yellow}}) with patterns all over them, are shown in a circle, looking upward as the camera revolves around and zooms out for a second. Then, it fades to a shot of the children from above as they take a piece of {{color|#FFB100|orange-yellow}} cloth with a globe pattern imprinted on it and throw it in the air as they are standing on opposite ends of a small "orb". Then, it fades to another shot of the children, who are shown raising their hands up and releasing spherical objects, most of which are {{color|saddlebrown|brown}} or {{color|silver}}, into the air as they fade out. While this happens, the orb (which resembles an Earth globe with {{color|gold|yellow}} water and {{color|red}} and {{color|green}} continents) "transforms" into the Saban logo, which resembles a shiny {{color|gold}} crescent moon on the right with 3 "swishing" lines on the left. The word "S A B A N" appears below the logo. The Saban logo zooms in slightly. This is done on a cloudy sky background that seems to converge towards the center.

'''Variants:''' There are 5 variations of this logo:

*A weird stretched variant of the Saban International logo also exists which was seen on the TV movie <u>''On Thin Ice: Going For The Gold''</u>.

*<u>When ABC Family (now Freeform) reran ''Au Pair 2'' in 2009</u>, the short version of the logo is slowed down (with the ending theme) as an attempt to plaster the [[Fox Family Productions]] logo that was originally used there. The split-screen credits followed.

*The 10 notes version is sometimes shortened to six notes for both the normal and "INTERNATIONAL" versions. This appears on a few TV movies, such as <u>''On Thin Ice: Going For The Gold''</u> and some shows such as <u>''Space Goofs''</u> and <u>''Diabolik''</u>, respectively.

*This appears on many later Fox Kids shows like ''Flint the Time Detective'', ''Mon Colle Knights'', ''The New Addams Family'', and specifically on episodes of ''Power Rangers'' (from ''Zeo'' until ''Time Force''), ''Masked Rider'' episodes beginning from "Battle of the Bands", and the first three English-dubbed seasons of ''Digimon''; ''Digimon Adventure'', ''Digimon Adventure 02'' and the first 22 episodes of ''Digimon Tamers''.

*The "INTERNATIONAL" variant appears on most series from Saban's library, including some of the 1980s and 1990s [[Marvel Productions]] shows it owned (''Dungeons and Dragons'') and pre-1990 DiC shows such as ''Pole Position'', among others, sometimes plastering older logos.

*This logo is also preserved on the Revelation Media DVD releases of ''Goosebumps'' released in the United Kingdom from 2012, starting with the complete first season, the Flatiron DVD set of ''Digimon Adventure'' (and presumably their sets of ''Adventure 02'' and ''Tamers'' as well), and the 2006 DVD release of ''Rusty: The Great Rescue'' (aka ''Rusty: A Dog's Tale'').

*It also appears on VHS releases of those shows, and on ''Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie''.

*This doesn't appear on ''Digimon: The Movie'' (2000) (except on Toon Disney/Jetix's print, which has the "INTERNATIONAL" version at the start right after the 1994 [[20th Century Studios|20th Century Fox]] logo, in that case plastering the 2000 [[Fox Kids Movies|Fox Kids]] theatrical logo and having the opening theme as well).

*The "INTERNATIONAL" variant also appears at the end of the preview of ''Mystic Knights of Tir Na Nog'' included on the 2000 UK VHS release of ''Inspector Gadget: Monster Lake and Other Stories'' from [[20th Century Studios Home Entertainment|20th Century Fox Home Entertainment]].
