Entertainment One

Background
Entertainment One (also spelled as "eOne" and formerly Koch Entertainment and E1 Entertainment) began operations in 1973 as the music distributor ROW (Records on Wheels) in Canada. It was renamed to Entertainment One Fund in 2005. That June, it acquired Koch Entertainment, thus expanding their distribution network in Canada and the United States.

Throughout the years, eOne built regional home entertainment divisions in the United Kingdom (based on Contender Entertainment and Maximum Entertainment), Benelux (based on RCV Entertainment) and Canada (formerly Seville Pictures). In 2008, eOne also purchased the minor television companies Oasis International, Blueprint Entertainment and Barna-Alper Productions. Since 2007, eOne has been distributing films for cinemas. They later acquired Hopscotch Films and Alliance Films in 2013, and Phase 4 Films and Force Four in 2014.

From 2014 until 2016, eOne has distributed and released additional kids content made under the Kaboom! Entertainment label in Canada and the United States. On December 30, 2019, after the American toy company Hasbro acquired Entertainment One, their future film and tv projects began using the eOne name, absorbing the Allspark name with it a year later.

(2009-2010)
Nickname: "E1 Globe"

Logo: On a dark space background with a blue color scheme, we see the planet Earth, which is tinted in blue as it rotates slowly. As we zoom in and the planet brightens up, we see a large "E1" structure on it as the planet rotates more and the letters shine by dots of light. Several beams of light shine behind the planet as it becomes solid, and as the logo gets to a comfortable position, it is compressed into a box as "ENTERTAINMENT" fades in below. The light lines continue to shine and move across the planet.

Variants:
 * There is a still version that can be found on TV shows and some trailers for E1-released movies. It is bigger and resembles the print version.
 * A short version exists.
 * An in-credit version exists.
 * On series 3 of Peppa Pig and later series 1 episodes of Ben and Holly's Little Kingdom, there is an in-credit version where the word "KiDS" (in a cartoonish font) replaces "ENTERTAINMENT".

FX/SFX: The planet rotating and revealing "E1". Nice CGI.

Music/Sounds: An ascending triumphant fanfare. Sometimes, it's the opening/closing theme of the movie or series.

Availability: Rare. Seen on DVD releases and films from the company during the era. It also appears on some TV series (sometimes in-credit), such as Humf and The Dating Guy. Also appears on Peppa Pig Fun & Games for the Nintendo DS.

Editor's Note: Compared to the following logos, this was sadly short-lived as it lasted just two years. However, the Kids version fares worse as it appeared on the aforementioned shows.

1st Logo (2010-2016)
Nicknames: "The Box", "eOne Box", "Revealing Box"

Logo: On a black background, we see a dark sphere surrounded by a blue light. An "e" then rises up from the sphere as it starts to zoom out and shift to the left, while "ne" slides in from behind the sphere to the right. As it continues zooming out, the sphere becomes an "o", the letters become boxed as it turns blue, and the word "entertainmentone" wipes in to the right below the box.

Variants:
 * A warp-speed version exists on TV shows.
 * On series 4 of Peppa Pig, there is an in-credit version where the word "family" is seen sticking out of a green square.
 * There is a shortened version where it has the last part after the text wipes in. Sometimes, it can be much shorter.
 * A still version exists.

FX/SFX: The box forming and the wiping of the name.

Music/Sounds:
 * 2010-2015: Same as the E1 Entertainment logo, but re-arranged to be a bit more majestic. Despite the next theme being used on movies, this theme was still used on TV shows until 2015.
 * 2013-2015: The 2004 Alliance Atlantis fanfare.
 * On some shows, it uses the end theme or none.
 * Strangely, on Netflix and Hulu prints of Waste Land (despite that film being distributed there through Arthouse Films and eOne distributing in Canada), the logo's audio is much louder than the rest of the film.

Availability: Common.
 * During the early use of the logo, it was originally uncommon and could be seen on trailers for eOne shows/movies and various DVDs distributed in some countries. Since the company gained more distribution forces however, this and the next logo became much more widespread.
 * The logo also shows up on Crackle's print of Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, preceding the Warner Bros. Pictures logo.
 * The still and short versions can be seen on some shows from the era.

Editor's Note: This is a well-liked logo with great animation. Again, like with the previous logo, the Family version was sadly wasted.

2nd Logo (2015-)
Nicknames: "The Box II", "eOne Box II", "Zooming Squares"

Logo: It starts in a similar fashion to the previous logo. Some rings zoom out and place themselves near the top of the "O", as they turn reveal the front of the square that it is in with the "ne" to the right of it, all against a background of zooming squares. The letters in "entertainment" zoom out and place themselves on the left of the square. After a few seconds, a giant square turns as it places itself on a black background, encasing the "One" inside it with a singular "e" to its left. The final result reads "eOne".

Variants:
 * Shortened, still and open-matte versions exist.
 * On Happiest Season, the logo starts at the point when the letters are nearly placed.
 * Two in-credit versions exist. One is the "eOne" logo in white, and the other is the full "entertainmentOne" logo with its original colors.
 * There is a variant where the logo is redone to fit the 4:3 format, used for reprints of older films or TV shows originally made in said format.
 * On Peppa Pig: My First Cinema Experience (2017), the logo is pink with the letters in a darker shade on a light blue background. It flips to reveal the Astley Baker Davies logo.

FX/SFX: The logo forming. Amazing CGI.

Music/Sounds: The Alliance Atlantis fanfare from before, but the drumroll is louder and whooshes are added with the zoom-outs.

Music/Sounds Variants:
 * On some prints of the movie Foolproof (2003), this logo was heard with the music for the 1999 Alliance Atlantis alternate logo due to poor editing.
 * Sometimes, the opening/closing theme of the movie/show is heard, or the logo is completely and utterly silent.
 * A shortened version of the theme exists.
 * On season 3 of Bitten, the short version of the E1 Entertainment theme from the last two logos is used.

Availability: Current, but it may not last.
 * First seen before trailers of movies made by them or outside of the United States.
 * The first TV show to use this, and the short version of the logo was PJ Masks on Disney Junior in the US and Kids' CBC and the Canadian Disney Junior feed in Canada, and on films such as The Thinning: New World Order. This was also seen on the third season of Bitten. The in-credit versions appear on Peppa Pig starting from series 5, as well as Alien TV and Ninja Express.
 * The still version of the logo appears on Grey's Anatomy starting from season 15 after Mark Gordon became the president of the company, as well as on Ransom on CBS.
 * The only Hasbro show to use this logo was My Little Pony: Pony Life. Other shows use the next logo.
 * Also appears on some streaming prints of some films; such as the first four Laika films preceding their own logo (their fifth film Missing Link has the Elevation Pictures logo), and some prints of Gnomeo and Juliet and The House with a Clock in Its Walls, the latter plastering the custom Universal Pictures variant.
 * This is also used as a de-facto home video logo and appears on various DVDs and Blu-rays in some countries.
 * With the next logo being recently introduced, this logo's days are numbered. As of this writing, it still appears on Grey's Anatomy and some other shows.
 * This may have also appeared on UK/Australian/Spanish prints of 1917 in a blue tint, which was released just prior to the Hasbro acquisition.

Editor's Note: Another well-liked logo. The CGI makes this logo a winner.

3rd Logo (November 15, 2020-)
Nicknames: "The Box III", "eOne Box III", "Zooming Squares II", "Hasbro Box"

Logo: It starts like the previous logo, but with a square that zooms out with other squares on a starry /black background. As the pillars zoom out into their positions, another square moves into the center of the screen as the "eOne" text, piece by piece, zoom into their usual position as the background fades to black. The logo shines as the Hasbro byline fades in below.

Variants:
 * An in-credit version exists, sometimes with Hasbro's own logo next to it.
 * Shortened, still and bylineless versions exist.
 * On Deep Water (2022), the logo has a slightly purplish tint.
 * On the 35th Anniversary Blu-ray (not the 4K UHD Blu-ray as that uses the widescreen version) re-release of The Transformers: The Movie, the logo is in 4:3.

FX/SFX: The logo forming, the byline fading in. Great CGI.

Music/Sounds: It's just the same fanfare from the previous logo, but shortened. Sometimes the opening/closing theme plays over it or silence.

Music/Sounds Variant: On international Amazon prints of the first episode of Cruel Summer, the theme sounds a little distorted.

Availability: Current.
 * This first appeared in-credit on the TV adaptation of Candy Land, and would later be used on select shows like Power Rangers: Dino Fury (along with the previous logo).
 * The animated version debuted on Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins, and was later seen on the 4K UHD Blu-Ray release of Transformers: The Movie (1986).
 * As with these logos above, this logo is used as a de-facto home video logo, and appears on various DVDs and Blu-rays in some countries.
 * The Hasbro variant may possibly only appear on films and shows based on Hasbro properties, replacing the second Allspark Pictures logo.
 * The bylineless version appeared on international Amazon prints of Cruel Summer, and later at the end of Blue Bayou and an Australian trailer to Fireheart, and on Deep Water, after the Regency logo.
 * Used in tandem with the previous logo as of this writing.

Editor's Note: A nice, well executed update that welcomes in a new era of Entertainment One.
