Logo: We see a TV turning on inside a split-box rectangle (a la Paramount Closet Killer). The left section of the rectangle contains a television set with a picture of an eye, the other half contains the letters "NWE". Below are the words "NEW WAVE ENTERTAINMENT" and underneath that is "TELEVISION" or "DVD". The eye blinks.

  • Another shortened version exists on the featurettes on The Dirty Dozen: Two-Disc Special Edition, where it fades out about halfway through.
  • On Thirteen Days: Bringing History to the Silver Screen, an in-credit text is used instead.
  • A still version appears at the end of An Evening with Kevin Smith 2: Evening Harder.

FX/SFX: The TV turning-on, the eye blinking.

Music/Sounds: A synth buzzing sound.

Music/Sounds Variant: In some cases, the closing theme is used.

Availability: Seen on various special features on DVDs from Warner Home Video such as Chasing Liberty, Catwoman, Troy, and Batman Begins, and DVDs from Universal such as Dawn of the Dead, The Interpreter, and Smokey and the Bandit: Special Edition, as well as Footloose: Special Collector's Edition, Star Wars: Clone Wars: Volume One, Platoon: 20th Anniversary Edition, and 13 Going on 30.
