Elektra Entertainment
Logo descriptions by yomoneyboat
Logo captures by Eric S.
1st Logo
(1984-1989)
Nickname: "The Test Card"
Logo: We see a color bar test card. Pieces of the test card fall off to reveal a black TV tube on a tan background with "elektra" written in an orange cursive font below the TV
tube with "ENTERTAINMENT" in black below "elektra". As the logo zooms in, an orange sunrise occurs in the TV tube. The logo shines, and it fades to black.
FX/SFX/Cheesy Factor: The test card falling apart, the zooming and shining, the sunrise.
Music/Sounds: There are sound effects of glass shattering followed by a choir with a harp. After the choir, a calm piano tune plays as the logo shines. When the logo fades to black, there is a another shattering glass sound effect.
Availability: Rare; appears on some music videos during this era.
Scare Factor: Low to medium; the first half of the logo is kinda scary, but the second half is calmer. The glass shattering may actually make you laugh a little.
2nd Logo
(1989-2004)
Nicknames: "The Bouncing e", "Ee"
Logo: On a yellow background, we see a blue capital E in the background. Suddenly, a red lowercase E bounces into view, as the capital E slowly hops towards the screen. The lowercase E bounces around a bit until landing on top of the capital E, which rotates 45 degrees. The background turns to a blue gradient color, and the blue E turns black, as the text "Elektra Entertainment" appears in a sans serif font.
FX/SFX: The animation, the background color switch.
Cheesy Factor: Minimal; the whole logo is pretty professional.
Music/Sounds: A strange background music with vibraphone notes synced with the bouncing of the E. A "BOING!" plays when the lowercase E lands on the capital E.
Availiblity: Found on all music video releases by Elektra.
Scare Factor: Low; the background is a nice color, but the sudden appearance of the E may unnerve some, as well as the "BOING!".

No shows or movies--just collections of music videos and/or live concerts by Elektra artists. For example, The Cure released a video compilation that probably used one of these logos.
