Leverage Entertainment

Background

Leverage Entertainment is the production company of Stephen Levinson.

1st Logo (July 18, 2004-October 26, 2014)

Visuals: On a black background, there is a gray square with a tall letter "L" and the text "leverage" in it.

Early Variant: On seasons 1 and 2 of Entourage, the gray is a small vertical rectangle against a black background. The logo is contained within it.

Trivia: Something to note is that this logo either always precedes or follows the logo for Mark Wahlberg's Closest to the Hole Productions. Levinson serves as Wahlberg's talent manager.

Technique: A still, digital graphic.

Audio: The end theme of the show.

Availability: Seen on In Treatment, Boardwalk Empire and the first four seasons of Entourage on HBO.

2nd Logo (June 17, 2007-)

Visuals: The L flickers in with a ghastly crooked shape. "leverage" is mostly formed but slightly bent before it readjusts itself. The L wiggles for a bit whilst a blue tint flies towards it, only for the tint to disappear. The L settles into place as the logo shines.

Variants:

On Shooter from season 2 onward, this logo and the Closest to the Hole, Universal Cable Productions and Paramount Television logos, are sped up so that the end theme finishes over all of them.
On Home Game, the logo is next to the Closest to the Hole logo.

Technique: 2D animation.

Audio: The end theme of the show or none.

Availability: Seen on Entourage starting with season 4, season 4 of In Treatment, the failed pilot of Home Game, How to Make It in America, Wahlburgers, Shooter (the TV series) and Ballers.
