1st Logo (2002-2011)
‏‏‎ ‎ Dxska_UPFeg Visuals: On a stylized background with hills, grass, and a barn nearby, there is an orange brown waterwheel that makes filmstrips. A water wave appears below, with "MILL CREEK ENTERTAINMENT" on it, rising up.

Variant: A rare extended version exists.

Technique: Flash animation.

Audio: Some outdoor sounds, including the chirps of house sparrows. A few seconds later, a rooster crows.

2nd Logo (2011-2017)
n47QmpnKrdc Visuals: A sky blue square flashes and zooms in quickly, simulating a TV being turned on. A series of static particles appear and fly in and then turn blue and white as they roll around and combine together. They then form a newer Mill Creek Entertainment logo, with a redesigned wheel, looking more like a gear, and the company name below in a different font. The logo slowly zooms in before it disappears in a TV switch-off effect.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: A switch-on sound, an ascending droning noise, then a synth note and a switch-off sound.

Availability: Seen on all Mill Creek releases from 2011-17 such as re-releases of That '70s Show and 3rd Rock from the Sun. On some DVDs, the packaging may have this logo, but the previous logo appears instead.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: A five-note synth-violin tune with the first three notes sustained and the fourth and fifth note's sustainment slightly extended.
