(2005-early 2020s?)
Logo: On a blue sky background with birds flying, there is a creek between land with green grass and fall trees. The camera eases back to reveal a light brown brick bridge with black rails. It eases back again to reveal it is in a box on a black background with "ECHO BRIDGE" on top and "HOME ENTERTAINMENT" on bottom. The words shimmer. Starting in 2007, the logo eases back and disappears, and then the words: THE ENTERTAINMENT ALTERNATIVE

FOR WHAT THE WORLD WANTS TO SEE

appear and ease back a bit. The lines appear one by one.

Trivia: The bridge in the logo is actually the Echo Bridge in Needham, Massachusetts, the town where Echo Bridge Entertainment is based in.

Variant:
 * At the end of programs, the company name doesn't shimmer and the lines appear all at once rather then one at a time.
 * Sometimes, the company name merely reads "ECHO BRIDGE ENTERTAINMENT" and the ending notice does not appear.
 * On some episodes of Degrassi: The Next Generation, the "ENTERTAINMENT" variant is cut to its last seconds.

FX/SFX: Very cheap computer animation.

Music/Sounds: Birds chirping and a short piano tune with a small whoosh at the end.

Availability: Seen on DVD releases by the company, which are very common in bargain bins at grocery stores, Walmart and Best Buy.

Editor's Note: None.
