Background: New World Entertainment (formerly New World Pictures) didn't enter TV production until 1984, when the soap opera Santa Barbara premiered on TV. In 1997, this company was brought by News Corporation, parent company of 20th Century Fox, and with it the rights to many New World's television programs with some exceptions (The Wonder Years and Crime Story are held by Turner Entertainment and Warner Bros. Television, and Tour of Duty and Get a Life are held by Sony Pictures Television), some post-1988 feature films, the New World/Genesis backlog and Cannell Entertainment, which effectively ended the company.
1st Logo
(1984-1989)
Nickname: "The Sphere"
Logo: This was merely a still version of the movie logo and the company name here is "NEW WORLD TELEVISION" (or "NEW WORLD INTERNATIONAL" for international distribution).
Variants:
FX/SFX: None. Sometimes would fade in or fade out. In the animated version, the 3D sections merging into the globe.
Music/Sounds: Here are the music variants:
Availability: Uncommon. Originally appeared on Santa Barbera and other shows from this era, but still intact on 1st and 2nd season eps. of The Wonder Years on ION (whenever they re-air it), and on the first two seasons of Tour of Duty.
Scare Factor: None.
2nd Logo
(1989-1994)
Nickname: "The Ocean"
Logo: On a purple background we see a purple-bluish ocean and the now-crystallized New World globe (smaller than previous logo variant), and below that is the text "NEW WORLD TELEVISION" (in later years "NEW WORLD ENTERTAINMENT"), or "NEW WORLD INTERNATIONAL" on international distribution prints.
Variant: An opening version of this logo features the New World globe slowly rising out of the ocean and then the company name fading in. The music used in this version was the full New World Pictures logo music.
FX/SFX: The ocean waves flowing; CGI animation abounds here.
Music/Sounds: Here are the music variants:
Availability: Rare-any program that had this logo with the synth music would have it replaced with the 20th Television logo; Tour of Duty and Crime Story retain this logo. When ION aired the 1989-1993 episodes of The Wonder Years, the logo was preserved, but at warp speed and with the generic ION music. It survives, complete with music, on some episodes of Real Stories of the Highway Patrol on Fox Reality. Originally, the version with the music that would be also covered on the Dobson logo, would appear on Santa Barbara. It can also be seen on 1991 episodes of The Wonder Years on ITV3.
Scare Factor: None; the ocean animation is rather calming.
3rd Logo
(1994-1997)
Nicknames: "CGI Sphere", "New World Comet"
Logo: Over a space background, a comet swirls form the bottom left to the center, explodes, and leaves behind the New World globe, in red, and below that is text reading "NEW WORLD ENTERTAINMENT".
Variants:
FX/SFX: The fireworks, the sphere clearing up.
Music/Sounds: A synthesizer sounder that ends with a series of non-musical noises resembling a seagull. In the long version, a synth chime plays, then a two note bass sounder holds out before the standard theme. In another version, the seagull sounds are absent, replaced by what sounds like ghostly moaning.
Availability: Retained on 1995-1997 episodes of Real Stories of the Highway Patrol on Fox Reality. The long variant is ultra-rare, as it was used mainly for international releases.
Scare Factor: Low.

FX/SFX: None. Sometimes would fade in or fade out. In the animated version, the 3D sections merging into the globe.
Music/Sounds: Here are the music variants:
- Mostly on television programs would appear silent.
- Sometimes this logo would appear with a fast-paced new age synth tune adapted from the New World Pictures logo music of the time. Theme is composed by Joel Altshuler, composer of the New World Pictures logo music of the time.
- Sometimes this logo would be accompanied with a thrilling futuristic-like synthesized jingle that sounds somewhat like the theme to the TV series V at the beginning, this version was featured on the short lived 1987 program Once a Hero. This theme is composed by Dennis Dreith, composer of the theme song for said program.
- Also, on TV movies, the ending theme would play over the logo.
