Northern Lights Entertainment

Background
Northern Lights Entertainment was a film production company owned by filmmaker Ivan Reitman. He later went on to start The Montecito Picture Company in 1998 with Tom Pollock.

1st Logo (February 21-April 3, 1992)
Logo: On a black background, we see these words in the middle of the screen:

Northern Lights ENTERTAINMENT

"Northern Lights" is written in an italic handwritten text while "ENTERTAINMENT" is written block text.

Technique: None. This is a still logo.

Music/Sounds: None or the closing theme of the movie.

Availability: Rare. Seen at the end of ''Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot and Beethoven''.

2nd Logo (December 17, 1993-June 12, 1998)
Logo: On a dark blue background, we open to something moving in the sky (akin to the Aurora Borealis that occurs in the high latitude Arctic/Antarctic regions). It slowly comes upward, the edges forming the outline of the name. The full logo appears and the background starts to brighten, showing the upper part of a mountainous woodland forest at sunrise. On the left of the logo, there is a pine tree standing on top of a cliff. The written part of the text is in white while the "ENTERTAINMENT" part is light pink.

Variants:
 * A short version of this logo was seen on Beethoven: The Animated Series.
 * At the end of Six Days, Seven Nights, the logo is either cropped to 2.35:1 (16:9 on Small Widescreen versions) or not on 4:3 full-screen prints, and a registered trademark symbol appears next to "ENTERTAINMENT" after the sequence.
 * 4:3 full-screen prints of films including Beethoven's 2nd, Junior, and Six Days, Seven Nights use an open-matte version with more information visible on the top and bottom, and sometimes very top and very bottom.

Technique: The aurora light show on the sky.

Music/Sounds: Twinkling chimes followed by a majestic synth tune and a wolf's hooting howl (probably the classic "cartoon" sound effect).

Music/Sounds Variants:
 * On Beethoven's 2nd, a piano synth tune with a choir is heard. A different (more realistic) wolf howl follows.
 * On Commandments and Beethoven: The Animated Series, it's the closing theme of the program.

Availability: Rare.
 * Seen at the end of Beethoven's 2nd, Junior, The Late Shift, Private Parts, Commandments, and Six Days, Seven Nights.
 * This logo does not appear on Space Jam, Fathers' Day or Mummies Alive!, as they just use a copyright notice instead.
