Logo (April 19, 2002-August 11, 2004)
Visuals: We fade into snowy mountains at sunset. As the camera moves back and the sky turns into night, a comet appears on the sky, and then explodes, leaving a light burst and the words "CRUSADER" and "ENTERTAINMENT".

Technique: Computer animation.

Audio: An ascending piano fanfare ending in a majestic hit.

Availability: Seen on early 2000's films, including Swimming Upstream and Where The Red Fern Grows.

Logo (October 29, 2004-January 18, 2008)
Visuals: The screen zooms through the trees into a silhouette scenery (except the lake) with the northern lights and a wolf standing on the rock. A computer generated lake is seen with the reflection in the scenery. As the camera stops zooming, the wolf turns its head right, the northern lights turn into a tornado-shaped Milky Way and then the words "BRISTOL BAY PRODUCTIONS" appear.

Variant: On Sahara, there was a coin flipping in the logo.

Technique: The silhouette scenery and the wolf, all in great-looking computer animation.

Audio: The same fanfare from the Crusader Entertainment logo. On Amazing Grace, it's silent and on Sahara, It was the opening theme.
