Background

On May 21, 1993, Ronald O. Perelman, owner of New World Communications, acquired 50% of Genesis Entertainment from Gary Gannaway's Gannaway Enterprises Incorporated, and the remaining stock in 1994, reincorporating it to New World/Genesis Distribution. On January 22, 1997, News Corporation acquired New World Communications and folded New World/Genesis into 20th Television. The Genesis name and "G" logo from 1990 now belong to Genesis International, a syndication company run by former Genesis Entertainment CEO Wayne Lepoff.

Logo (1995-1997)

• 
• 

Visuals: It's basically the same as the 1995 New World Entertainment logo, except the text below reads "NEW WORLD/GENESIS DISTRIBUTION" in a Friz Quadrata font. Occasionally, only the "explosion" is shown.

Variant: A variant is seen on Access Hollywood episodes of the era; on a background filled with spotlights, the still logo is placed to the left with the KNBC logo on the right. A copyright stamp can be seen below the two logos.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: Same as the 1995 New World Entertainment logo.

Availability: This was last seen on Tales from the Crypt on the now-defunct Chiller channel, like the 2nd Genesis Entertainment logo. It also appeared on Access Hollywood and may have been on then-contemporary episodes of Real Stories of the Highway Patrol.
