Background
DreamWorks Animation SKG Home Entertainment was the home entertainment arm of DreamWorks Animation. It was founded in 2004, just two years before Paramount began their deal with DreamWorks Animation in 2006. However, this division closed in 2014 after the Blu-ray release of Spiritː Stallion of the Cimarron. Since then, their films have been distributed by 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment from 2013 to 2017 and Universal Pictures Home Entertainment since 2018.
(November 15, 2005-May 13, 2014)
Logo: Same as the 2004 DreamWorks Animation logo, but underneath the normal text is "HOME ENTERTAINMENT".
Variant: On 2004-06 releases, the Shrek 2 variant of the DreamWorks Animation logo (which simply says "ANIMATION") is used.
Technique: Same as the 2004 DreamWorks Animation logo.
Music/Sounds: Same as the 2004 DreamWorks Animation logo.

- Seen on DreamWorks Animation DVDs and Blu-rays distributed by Paramount Home Entertainment from 2007-14, starting with Flushed Away and ending with Rise of the Guardians.
- The early 2004-06 variant appeared on movies such as Madagascar, Wallace & Gromitː Curse of the Were-Rabbit and Over the Hedge. However, 2004 releases such as Shrek 2 and Shark Tale instead use the 1997 DreamWorks Home Entertainment logo.
- After their distribution deal shifted from Paramount to 20th Century Fox after the box office failure of Rise of the Guardians, 2013-17 releases just have the shortened final 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment logo, and releases from 2018-present use the Universal Pictures Home Entertainment logo, with the exception of the 2014 Blu-ray of Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron, released shortly before the DreamWorks catalog rights were handed off to Fox later that month.
- Even though DreamWorks updated their logo in 2010, and Paramount ended their deal in 2012, this logo continued to last until 2014.
