1st Logo (August 29, 2013-)


Visuals: On a black background, there is a darkened set of stairs with the company name with spotlights behind them. The background brightens, turning white as the glow flashes in the center.

Trivia: This logo obviously pays homage to the various talent show competitions that have been created by Simon Cowell.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: A flash sound with a electronic noise, or none after the closing theme.

Availability: This first appeared on One Direction: This Is Us, and has appeared on America's Got Talent since 2014. Also seen on America's Got Talent: The Champions, America's Got Talent: Extreme, America's Got Talent: All-Stars, and America's Got Talent: Fantasy League.

2nd Logo (September 11, 2013-)


Visuals: On a black background, there's the word "SYCO" colored in white with golden borders, spinning and shining. The golden word "ENTERTAINMENT" spins and reveals itself faster.

Variants:

  • On Britain's Got Talent and The X Factor, the logo animates as usual, but it also shares the screen with other logos, those being the 2012/2018 Thames logo on top, and the 2013 ITV logo underneath.
  • On The Greatest Dancer, it is a similar concept to before, except the logo is now beside the Thames logo, and the ITV logo has been replaced with the 1997 BBC Productions logo.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: None or a whoosh-like noise.

Availability: Appeared on the company's shows starting in 2013, albeit non-America's Got Talent programmes, such as Britain's Got Talent and its spin offs, The X Factor and its spin offs, and The Greatest Dancer. This is currently being used in tandem with the previous logo.
