Showcase Entertainment

Logo descriptions and captures by EnormousRat

1st Logo (Mid 90s-1996)
Nickname: "The Beam"

Logo: On a black background, we see a blue box with the name written in two lines on the bottom. The light blue ray starts from the middle top of the box outline and expands to the "O" letter.

FX/SFX: None.

Music/Sounds: Silence.

Availability: Rare. Appeared on Kounterfeit. The white background version was seen on Dogtown.

2nd Logo (1997-)
Nickname: "The Beam II"

Logo: We see two moving searchlights with a light purple tint. They reveal the purple word "SHOWCASE", which zooms out of the darkness and shines. One of the lights clears off and "ENTERTAINMENT" fades below the name when the background turns blue. Another searchlight fixes the light in the same manner as the previous logo.

FX/SFX: The moving searchlights and zooming name.

Music/Sounds: A fanfare with some piano passes at the end. The silent version is also common.

Availability: Common. Seen mainly on the films distributed outside the United States and some theatrical releases in the U.S.

This is a good and harmless logo.
