Outerbanks Entertainment

Logo descriptions by Sagan Blob Logo captures by Eric S. and EnormousRat

Background: Outerbanks Entertainment is the company of the Scream franchise creator Kevin Williamson.

1st Logo (October 7, 1998-May 14, 2003)
Logo: Just the Outerbanks Entertainment logo (a la 1988 Imagine Entertainment logo) above the black water on a black background.

FX/SFX: The water shadow lighting the Outerbanks logo, and the black water.

Music/Sounds: A haunting cave sound. On Wasteland, it's silent.

Availability: Seen on Dawson's Creek (starting with season 2 up through the end of the series) and Wasteland.

Editor's Note: The sound effect and the dark environment can be very unnerving to some, especially if viewed in a dark room.

2nd Logo (January 16, 2002-March 25, 2002)
Logo: Same concept as the 1st logo, except slightly different. There's now a animated water background, and the logo slowly ripples as well. Outerbanks Entertainment (2002)

FX/SFX: The rippling of the logo, and the moving of the water background.

Music/Sounds: A higher tone version of the haunting cave sound from the first logo.

Availability: Rare. From as far as we can tell, this is most likely a prototype for the 3rd logo. Can only be seen on the short lived show Glory Days, which aired on The WB. Might be still seen on some European DVDs of the show. Check your old tapes for this one if you need to.

Editor's Note: None.

3rd Logo (September 16, 2005-May 15, 2014)
Logo: On a blue sea BG, we see the rippling Outerbanks Entertainment logo. Outerbanks Entertainment (2009) Variant: A longer version exists on Venom.

FX/SFX: The rippling.

Music/Sounds: Just a rippling water sound.

Availability: Seen on shows such as The Vampire Diaries and The Following.

Editor's Note: None.

4th Logo (October 1, 2014- )
Logo: Similar to the 2nd logo, but this time with a dark green-brown sea background, different sea direction, and no rippling at all.

FX/SFX: The enlightening.

Music/Sounds: Same as the 2nd logo.

Availability: See 3rd logo.

Editor's Note: None.
