Background: IDT Entertainment was the film, home entertainment and television division of IDT Corporation (a telecommunications company based in New Jersey). It was formed in 2003 when IDT acquired Film Roman, later on in the year, it acquired Anchor Bay Entertainment, owned DPS, and stakes in Mainframe Entertainment and Vanguard Animation, and also acquired DKP Studios and turned it into their own animation studio. IDT Entertainment would acquire Manga Entertainment in 2004, making Manga an Anchor Bay label. In 2006, IDT sold IDT Entertainment and its assets to Liberty Media, who merged IDT Entertainment and its divisions with the Starz cable network (now part of Lionsgate) to form Starz Media (now Starz Distribution).

1st Logo (March 4, 2004-November 12, 2006) IDT: 2005-2006

Nickname: "IDT Flames", "The Double-Arch"

Logo: On a black background, we see the words "IDT" in sapphire blue with an arch in the same color fading in. There is a flame flying in from the right forming "ENTERTAINMENT" in silver, with another flame branching off and forming a silver arch underneath the sapphire blue arch.

FX/SFX: The flame flying and the silver arch forming. At the end of TV programs, it's a still shot of the logo with just the fade in and fade out.

Music/Sounds: None, the opening/end title theme from any show/movie, or the sounds of fire and wind.

Availability: Seen on Eloise: The Animated Series on DVD, the first season of Masters of Horror and films by IDT from the period. Strangely, it also appears in place of the Anchor Bay Entertainment logo on the 2006 UK DVD of The Secret Garden.

Editor's Note: The flame sounds may get to you.
