Rising Star Studios

Background: Rising Star Studios is a Minnesota-based production company founded as a result of the merger from Wet Cement Productions (the original incarnation) and Morning Light Media in 2009. In 2011, it acquired GoldKing Media. In 2013, the company was restructured.

1st (and only) logo (2009-2013)
Nickname: “Star Hill”

Logo: On a black background, a white bottomless triangle zooms out and reveals the text, “RISING STAR” in yellow. A star rises behind the triangle and the text “STUDIOS” slides out from behind the “RISING STAR” text. The text, “All Rights Reserved” is below everything.

FX/SFX/Cheesy Factor: The simple animation. However, it’s FAR better than the previous logo.

Music/Sounds: A deep chord (D note).

Music/Sounds Variant: On Monster Truck Adventures, the ending theme is used.

Availability: Uncommon. It makes an appearance on TBN/Smile prints of Auto-B-Good and probably Ewe Know. It also plasters the Discovery Kids logo on Monster Truck Adventures.

Editor's Note: While MUCH tamer than Morning Light Media, it is not a very memorable logo.
