Background: Nelson Entertainment was a short-lived film company owned by Columbia Pictures. In 1994, after their last release, it merged with Columbia Pictures after ELP Communications was put under Columbia TriStar Television. Currently, most of the Nelson DVD releases are released by MGM (now owned by Sony Corporation and its partners).
(1987-1994)
Nicknames: "The Obelisk", "Nelson Obelisk"
Logo: On a black background, we see a black obelisk in a rectangle all in white lines. Suddenly, everything turns in color. The background turns blue, the obelisk turns into white everywhere (green in the PAL version), and the background in the rectangle turns into a skyline with clouds moving. In a few seconds, "NELSON" appears on top, and a small word "ENTERTAINMENT" appears on the bottom. Then "NELSON" shines.
FX: Just very good animation.
Cheesy Factor: A good logo for almost anyone would be this, but the clouds can be a little boring.
Music/Sounds: Some tremolo violin notes ascending, and then a '80s drum theme. In other cases, it used the opening theme of the movie, or none.
Availability: Uncommon; it can be found on releases that most of them being co-released by some companies from 1987 to 1994, but the most common release that had this logo was 1987's The Princess Bride, and also, on the legendary thriller movie Misery.
Scare Factor: None, unless the fanfare startles you.
