Background: Endemol (a.k.a. "Endemol Entertainment") is a Dutch production company founded in 1994 by Joop van den Ende and John de Mol through a merger of both their production companies: "Joop van den Ende TV-Producties" and "John de Mol Produkties". Their first big success was the reality series Big Brother, which first aired in the Netherlands in 1999. The company is currently owned by Mediaset since May 14, 2007.
Endemol Entertainment
1st Logo
(1994-1999)
Nicknames: "Spread-out letters", "Zoom-out letters"
Logo: On a black background, we see the gold letters of the word "ENDEMOL" zooming-out one letter at a time in a fast pace with the word "ENTERTAINMENT" zooming-out underneath "ENDEMOL", where we later see a warp-effect while the letters continue to zoom-out and start to spread to finish forming the word. There is a blue blast effect which later shows a white spiked-arched crown. One above and one below and would later turn blue. The words "ENDEMOL" and "ENTERTAINMENT" later turns from gold to light-
gold or yellow and the after the animation finishes.
Variant: This logo would have an effect just like the Embassy Television and Embassy Communications logos, the animation would play the same way on the ending of any television show, but the background would later turn black.
FX/SFX: The letters zooming out.
Music/Sounds: The end title theme from any show.
Availability: Rare; not in the United States, but seen on such shows like RTL's Mini-Playback Show and Lucky Letters.
Scare Factor: Low.
2nd Logo
(1999-2006)
Logo: Against a black BG, a cloud of vapor appears, forming a slanted ellipse with an eye and "endemol" written below.
Variant: Shows produced by Endemol's divisions outside of the Netherlands had the country's name below. For example, American-produced shows would appear as "Endemol USA".

Endemol-Southern Star (Australia)
(2001- )
Logo: We slowly zoom out from a shot of a human eye with purplish clouds of stars and swirling blue comets superimposed over it. The Endemol logo along with the current Southern Star logo (A segmented blue 7-point star with "southern star" below) fades in and zooms out. The eye closes and disappears, leaving behind the purplish clouds.
Variant: On Deal or No Deal (the Aussie version), the logo appears in the split-screen credits, with a copyright date next to it.
FX/SFX: The stars, the logos fading in, and the live-action eye.
Music/Sounds: A rather dramatic synth-string fanfare.
Availability: Seen on the Australian versions of Big Brother and Deal or No Deal, among others.
Scare Factor: None to minimal, due to the slightly dramatic music.
