Background[]
2 Entertain is a British music and video publisher, founded in September 2004, following a merger between BBC Video and Video Collection International. BBC Worldwide owned 60% of the company until 2010, when the company purchased The Woolworth Group's share of 40%. As of November 2013, the 2 Entertain name is only used on occasional non-BBC releases.
(2004-)[]
Logo: On a black background, a few bright flashes occur at the bottom. Then, the words "2lentertain", zoom out one-by-one, all while the flash continues to occur. The flash then dies down.
Variants:
- On Blu-rays, "HIGH DEFINITION" appears during the final flash of light.
- On Clarkson: The Italian Job, the logo appears smaller and still, and is in white.
FX/SFX: The flash and zooming words. Simple but very effective CGI.
Music/Sounds: A series of calm synth noises with a 4-note synth tune in between.
Availability: Common. Was seen on BBC DVD releases in the UK as well as some American ones from 2004-12. It sometimes plasters The Video Collection/VCI logos. Also seen on Thomas and Friends releases from 2004-08, as well as Roary the Racing Car and Fifi and the Flowertots releases.
Editor's Note: This logo has insanely good CGI for 2004.
