ESPN Original Entertainment

Background
ESPN Original Entertainment was formed in 2001 by ESPN Inc. as a programming division which produced various talk shows, series, documentaries and made-for-TV films that aired on ESPN and its related networks. The subsidiary ceased operations for several months starting in 2007.

Logo (2001-2007)
Visuals: On a white lighted background, we see a black ESPN logo. "SPN" retracts into the E, which rotates to form three wave-like lines, from which "espnoriginalentertainment" emerges. Everything retracts, leaving "entertainment", then "eoe" appears, then retracts into the lines, which turn back into the ESPN logo.

Technique: Computer animation.

Audio: A piano jingle leading into an ascending triumphant horn theme.

Availability: Until recently, appeared in front of Pardon the Interruption and Around the Horn. Appears on DVD releases of ESPN's original movies. This was also seen in front of Stump the Schwab as well.
