Corus Entertainment

Background
Corus Entertainment is a Canadian television company that was founded in 1999 as a spin off from Shaw Communications, based in Toronto, Ontario. It acquired Power Corporation's broadcasting division soon after it spun off. In 2000, it later participated in the break-up of Western International Communications along with Canwest Global and sister company Shaw, Corus acquired WIC's 12 radio stations and some of its specialty channels. At the end of 2000, Corus acquired Nelvana Limited. In 2001, Corus sold its stake in Family Channel to Astral Media, giving them full ownership, and swapped Viewers Choice Western Canada to Shaw in exchange for the Women's Television Network (now W Network). Corus has made various acquisitions, partnerships, and divestitures ever since. On April 1, 2016, Corus acquired Shaw Media (formerly known as CanWest Global) and the company changed its logo for the first time in 17 years.

1st Logo (1999-June 19, 2016)
Logo: Over a black background, a multicolored vortex flashes, forming the corporate logo of Corus Entertainment, which is various decorative designs of "COrUS" (a computerized green "C", a yellow spiral, a purple fridge magnet "r", a broken red paperclip "U" and a blue stamp "S"), all above the text "Times New Roman".

Variants:
 * In later years, the logo was enhanced with improved CGI and is in HD.
 * On 2007 episodes of 4 Square, a copyright stamp appears below.
 * A variant exists where the logo is still on a white background with cubes floating (recycled from the 2011-18 Teletoon logo), and "Times New Roman" is black.
 * There is also a version where the logo is on the 2010-14 YTV logo's background.
 * Sometimes, the logo is shortened and lacks the 3 note synth tune.
 * The logo appears in-credit on Love It or List It.

FX/SFX: The colors flashing in. Pretty cool CGI.

Music/Sounds: A synth warbling sound, ending with a whoosh and a 3-note synth tune. Other times, it's the ending theme of the show or none.

Availability: Common.
 * Appears on Slap Shot 3: The Junior League, Uh-Oh!, some episodes of Chevrolet Top 20 Countdown on CMT, and 2007 episodes of 4 Square on Treehouse. It most recently appeared on Sensitive Skin and the 2nd season of Transporter: The Series.
 * The shortened version can be found on many Corus distributed shows such as Treehouse TV airings of Zoboomafoo.
 * The white version can be seen when certain Corus-affiliated channels experience some technical difficulties, such as with the Teletoon bumper or the Treehouse bumper.

Editor's Note: This is a memorable logo for those who grew up with shows and movies featuring this logo, but you might be surprised if you expected the production logo of a Corus-owned channel and got this instead.

2nd Logo (September 12, 2016- )
Logo: On a dark gray background, we see three green dots. A white dot appears next to the three green dots and swells up to reveal a white background. A green dot appears where the white dot was as "corus." appears via a sliding fade in.

Variants:
 * Sometimes, "Produced in association with" fades in above the logo.
 * Another variant of this is seen on Departure where the text says "PRODUCED IN ASSOCIATION WITH CORUS ENTERTAINMENT". It’s also higher than before, and the font is different.
 * A short version exists.
 * A version with "STUDIOS" below the logo exists.
 * A still, in-credit version exists.

FX/SFX: The dots, the white dot swelling, and the fade in effects.

Music/Sounds: None or the closing theme of the show.

Music/Sounds Variants:
 * On the Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs TV series, 5 beeps then a two-note dramatic theme are heard.
 * On the Bravest Warriors TV series, the final note of the 2017 Nelvana logo plays over it.

Availability: Current and common.
 * It was first seen on The ZhuZhus (also known as Polly and the ZhuZhu Pets in the USA; before the new and current logo of Nelvana made its debut after that month of 2016) and Ransom on CBS in the US and Global TV in Canada.
 * Other known Corus TV shows with this logo include Agent Binky: Pets of the Universe, later episodes of Ranger Rob, Chuck's Choice, Rusty Rivets (Canadian prints only, other countries use the Nickelodeon Productions logos instead), Cupcake & Dino: General Services, Thomas & Friends: All Engines Go, the TV series adaptations of Bravest Warriors, Hotel Transylvania, and Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, Top Chef Canada, Corn & Peg, The Dog & Pony Show, seasons 7 and 8 of Max and Ruby, post-2017 episodes of Border Security, Miss Persona, Super Dinosaur, Property Brothers, Love it or List it, Ollie's Pack, Wishfart, Go Away, Unicorn!, Esme & Roy, and more.
 * The "studios" variant can be seen on Rust Valley Restorers on History, and the Casteel Family movie series on Lifetime.

Editor's Note: Same as before.
