Word Entertainment

Background: Word Entertainment (a.k.a. Everland Entertainment) is a Christian/gospel company, which since 2003 is part of Warner Music Group. They are known for releasing the Psalty Kid's Praise videos, as well as VeggieTales episodes with Big Idea Productions from 1993 to 2009 in the Christian market.

1st Logo (Early 1990s)

Nicknames: Fall Like Paper, "The Paper Logo", "W is for Western"

Logo: On a blue/black gradient background, a white square with a red border on it "floats in" from the right and moves to the center like a piece of paper falling to the floor (hence the nickname). The logo (a stencil-styled big "W.", with a red line below the W, and below the line a stencil-styled "WORD". Both the W & "Word" are in a cowboy-western font like Courier, Rockwell, or Playbill, hence nickname #3) zooms out and places itself on top of the square inside the border.

FX/SFX: Simple but effective CGI animation.

Music/Sounds: A synth fanfare or silence.

Availability: Extremely rare, to the point that this logo is ironically rarer than its own FBI warning! It was seen on VHS prints of the first few (mid-90s) VeggieTales episodes (which are pretty much almost extinct, being long out of print. Almost all VeggieTales VHS tapes after 1997 were released by Lyrick Studios, though Word Inc. DID release VeggieTales episodes past 1997, but those tapes had the Lyrick Studios tape master!). The silent version was seen on the Psalty's Salvation Celebration: The Movie and Psalty's Funtastic Praise Party. It may've been seen on other home videos released from the company in that period. One confirmed source was some prints of the original 1995 VHS of VeggieTales: Are You My Neighbor?, but the most common prints of that--and most of the early Everland Entertainment releases of VeggieTales--have literally nothing but the program and the Big Idea Logo.

Editor's Note: None.

Everland Entertainment

(1999)

Everland Entertainment Nickname: "Happy Letters"

Logo: On a gray/silver gradient background, we see the letters E, V, E, R, L, A, N, & D moving away from the screen onto some weird teal, square/trapezoid-like shape. One of the letters pops out among the others. We then see two "E"s, one yellow and one black. The black E jumps on the shape, followed by the yellow E jumping on the black E. "ENTERTAINMENT" appears under "EVERLAND".

FX/SFX: The letters moving.

Music/Sounds: The letters laughing in high-pitched voices, a pop and whistle as one of the letters pops out, then descending synth boing-like sounds as the E jumps, a tongue clickling-like sound, and a man saying "E" in a deep voice.

Availability: So far it has been found on Threads: A Pond Full of Pigs.

Editor's Note: None.
