Background

In 2006, IDT was purchased by Liberty Media (the owner of the Starz cable network), and IDT became Starz Media (now Starz Distribution); the following year, Anchor Bay was renamed to "Starz Home Entertainment", only for it to revert back to its original name in 2008.

1st Logo (2007)

Logo: On a black background, we see a logo similar to the Starz Productions and Starz Animation logos of the time, only with "HOME" and "ENTERTAINMENT" being seen below "STARZ".

Variant: On the trailer for Highlander: The Search for Vengeance, the logo is in black on a dark background with red smoke (or fire) in the middle. The logo slowly zooms out.

Technique: The background and the logo zooming out.

Music/Sounds: The opening theme of the trailer.

Availability: Near extinction. It has only been spotted so far in a trailer for Highlander: The Search for Vengeance, along with the Manga Entertainment logo.

2nd Logo (2007-2008)

Logo: Pretty much the same as the Starz Media logo, but the word "starz" is lowercase, the symbol is seen above the text, the text is centered, and "MEDIA" is replaced with "HOME ENTERTAINMENT" in a different font.

Technique: None.

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: Rare.

  • Can be seen on a few British Manga Entertainment releases such as Naruto, Bleach, and Death Note. On some releases, the then-current Anchor Bay logo proceeds after that.
  • Also appears on the UK DVD of Inspector Gadget's Biggest Caper Ever!.
  • Very certain prints of a few Thomas and Friends DVDs around this time also had this logo
