1st Logo (2004-October 11, 2008)
Logo: In isometric projection, the door opens and light emits out of it. A man in hat walks out of the door, makes five steps and stands still, putting his arms into a body sides. The place where he stands transforms into a square plate, then an outline writes the chessboard (which looks similar to the Purina pet food company logo) and other plates cover it. The word "ENDGAME" slides by an outline from the back and stops in the front. The whole picture pans from right isometric view to left. The man gets outlined by a white border.

Variants:
 * TV shows with this logo use a still version of this logo with a gray background.
 * A still version of this logo also exists.

Technique: Computer animation.

Music/Sounds: The sound of a door opening accompanied by a jazzy tune. Otherwise, the opening/closing theme of the movie or TV show.

Availability: Rare. The animated version is found on The Year of the Yao, the American trailer for the South Korean film Wonderful Days (which was distributed as Sky Blue) The Alibi and Stay Alive. The still version can be found on Bigfoot Presents: Meteor and the Mighty Monster Trucks.

2nd Logo (March 2, 2007-)
Logo: Some flashes appear and blink, making the screen totally bright. After the light goes off, we see a man's legs walking by the road with mountains in background. The screen pans so we can see a man walking. The picture is put into the rectangular frame where the image of the walking man becomes still. Under the frame, the word "ENDGAMƎ" appears, in a big font with the last "E" large and reversed. Under it is the word "ENTERTAINMENT" in a much smaller font. The man's shadow in the picture resembles a chess figure.

Technique: Stylized computer animation. Designed by Tesia Alexandra Jurkiewicz and animated by Gerald Mark Soto and Chris Lohouse at Bigstar.

Music/Sounds: 5 descending chimes and a short orchestral note, coupled with light footstep sounds.

Availability: Common. The logo first appeared on Solstice (2007). It can be found on new movies they produce.
