4th logo (1994-1997)

Logo: Over a superimposed video of a cloudy blue sky, the letters of "EVS" flip from the right, top and bottom coordinately, and a yellow "shining" effect occurs once when placed. "ENTERTAINMENT" then spins in from below (thru a 3D illusion). An iris effect occurs which forms white borders around the logo complete with the streak.

FX/SFX: Still primitive 2D effects, although neater-looking than the previous logos.

Music/Sounds: Same as the first logo.

Availability: Rare. Might appear on both VHS and (later) VCD releases.

Editor's Note: None.

5th logo (1997-2000)

Logo: Over a picture of a sunset with the shadow of a tree near the left, a set of 8 yellow stars, grouped together in a circle, is shown spinning. The letters of the EVS logo, along with the yellow "ENTERTAINMENT" text below, then zoom out in the front while spinning into view. The stars keep on spinning once the logo settles.

FX/SFX: Simple 3D CG effects.

Music/Sounds: Same as the first logo.
