Logo descriptions by SilverSword55 and V of Doom
Logo captures by V of Doom
Editions by CuriousGeorge 60 and V of Doom
Background: Originally formed in 1982, this company didn't enter TV production until 1985, when the sci-fi show Amazing Stories premiered on TV.
1st Logo
(1985- )
Nickname: "The E.T. Logo"
Logo: We see only the static image of the movie logo.
FX: None.
Music/Sounds: The closing theme of the show.
Availability: Can be seen on reruns of Pinky and the Brain on Jetix. It also appears on The Land Before Time on Cartoon Network.
Scare Factor: None.
2nd Logo
(1991- )
Nickname: "Switch-Off"
Logo: We see a close-up of the moon, which zooms backward until it is on the left side of the screen. Right before the moon stops in its place, a silhouette of a young boy on a bicycle (Elliot from "E.T. The Extra Terrestrial") slowly flies in front of the moon from the
left side of the moon's border, stopping in the middle. Then it quickly flashes and the moon is surrounded by a TV screen with blue static. While that happens, the rest of the logo (which is just like Amblin Entertaiment, only "Television" replaces "Entertainment") fades in next to the TV screen. The TV screen then switches/turns off, and the rest of the logo fades away, leaving only a blank rounded rectangle.
Variant: There is a variation with the logo already formed, the switch off is intact.
FX: The switch off. In other cases, it's completely still.
Music/Sounds: Silent, or the ending theme of the show.
Availability: It was seen on Back To The Future: The Animated Series, Fievel's American Tails, Family Dog, Seaquest DSV, The Spooktacular New Adventures of Casper (Excluding the first episode), Earth 2, and On The Lot. A special still variation was created for Fudge, and is currently seen on ER. VHS and DVD releases of said shows keep this logo intact.
Scare Factor: Depending on the logo variant:

- Low to medium; the switch off may cause a few scares.
- None for the still variant.
