1st Logo (September 19-October 24, 2003)


Visuals: The logo starts with white blueprints of some rooms outlined in dark blue, then the camera zooms in to show the words "OLIVE BRIDGE ENTERTAINMENT" inside a dark blue rectangle.

Technique: Live-action.

Audio: Unknown, due to the Fox generic announcement.

Availability: Seen on Luis.

2nd Logo (March 15, 2006-July 1, 2007)


Visuals: On a live-action pathway trail is a boy, likely a teenager due to his proportions, standing in front of a green sign with the white words "OLIVE BRIDGE ENTERTAINMENT" with a line sandwiched between it; both of them are drawn in a cartoon style. The boy then sees the camera and he runs away.

Variant: On the second season of The Loop, the boy is absent.

Technique: Cartoon animation.

Audio:

  • Season 1: The boy whistling, then he says "Uh-oh!" as he sees us, followed by the sound of a zipper and running footsteps.
  • Season 2: A girl (Shelly) saying "I'm Shelly, I have to go."

Availability: Seen on The Loop.

3rd Logo (September 26, 2013-November 27, 2017)


Visuals: On a mountain backdrop against a light blue cloudy daytime sky is "OLIVE BRIDGE" in a Neutraface font as a flying paper airplane comes into view and the camera pans up slightly.

Audio: A short guitar riff.

Audio Variant: On Angry Angel, the first part of the 2002 Sony Pictures Television theme is used.

Availability: Seen on The Michael J. Fox Show, The McCarthys, Moonbeam City, and Angry Angel.

4th Logo (November 12, 2019-)


Visuals: Similar to before, but the background is now on a sunset sky while the airplane and text are both in dark gray as it fades in and slides up.

Variants:

  • Sometimes, the logo is white on a black background, with the text "ENTERTAINMENT" spaced out under the name (usually omitted).
  • Sometimes, it shares the screen with other logos.

Technique: 2D computer animation.

Audio: None, or the closing theme to the film/series.

Availability: Seen on Encore!, Woke, Sneakerheads, Among the Stars, Chicago Party Aunt, and the end of Peter Rabbit 2: The Runaway.

5th Logo (December 22, 2023-)


Visuals: A dark blue airplane, leaving a dodger blue-blue striped trail, is soaring diagonally upwards on a dodger blue background with a large red sun covering the center and right portions of the screen. When it is about to leave the screen, the trail quickly shortens and the plane and trail reappear on the right side, flying to the left and then to the right, where it overlaps with the trail and becomes a paper airplane. The portion of the screen underneath the plane and trail become a dark blue setting of an arch bridge on a mountainous lake with the moon on the left in red. When the new background is revealed, the paper airplane briefly soars up and down and backs away to reveal "OLIVE BRIDGE" in the same style as before. The paper airplane, now an outlined version of itself, soars upwards and rests to the company name's top right. As this change happens, the background crossfades to a dimly lit dark blue background and "ENTERTAINMENT" fades in below "OLIVE BRIDGE".

Technique: Flash animation.

Audio: The opening theme of the film.

Availability: The logo debuted on Anyone But You.
