1st Logo
(1988-1993)
Nicknames: "Starry Chyron", "Star Night"
Logo: We see a black/blue gradient background with dozens of stars tingling away. The words "Rysher Entertainment" fade in on the background in a white, generic font. "Rysher" is on top of "Entertainment" with both words centered.
Variation: On the first season of Highlander, there is "Distributed By" on top and "ENTERTAINMENT" is replaced with "DISTRIBUTION".
FX/SFX/Cheesy Factor: The animation is extremely cheap and reeks of early CGI. The font is pretty ugly, too.
Music/Sounds: With a pindrop sound, we hear a jazzy saxophone tune that sounds styled to Kenny G.
Availability: Common; still seen on Saved By the Bell reruns on TBS, The N, and on the DVD box sets.
Scare Factor: Medium; the cheap animation mixed with the dark background and somber music don't give this logo a clean slate, but fans of Kenny G might like this logo.
2nd Logo
(1993- )
Nicknames: "The Buildings", "CGI City Skyline".
Logo: On the top half of the screen, there is a picture of a city at what appears to be sunset. The sun "sets" and stars and the lights in the city buildings appear, as do the words "RYSHER ENTERTAINMENT". "RYSHER" is in a large extremely condensed Times New Roman-style font and "ENTERTAINMENT" is seen in a smallish font below it. A comet streaks in the city sky as the animation finishes.
Variants:
FX/SFX: The sky fading and comet.
Music/Sounds: A mellow horn tune with synth drumsplays, with what sounds like a bird screeching at the end of the music. In other cases, it used only the opening/closing theme of the show or TV movie, or it's silent.
Music/Sound Variant: A very few number of times, this logo could be heard with the 1988 theme. This is usually heard with the "Cox Company" variant. An extended version of the 1993 music may also show up from time to time.
Availability: Common; appears on syndie reruns of Saved by the Bell: The College Years on TBS and The N, and Nash Bridges. And on Nash Bridges reruns, the Paramount logo proceeds after this logo. The Rysher TPE logo is rare, but still remains intact as it plasters the original logo on all 4 episodes of Saved by the Bell: Hawaiian Style on TBS/The N, original prints of Highlander episodes from 1995-1996, and appears on the pilot of Robocop: The Series entitled "The Future of Law Enforcement" on VHS. There, the end theme of the show served as the logo's music and the words "Produced in association with" are at the top of the screen. The film version can be seen on VHS and DVD releases of Private Parts.
Scare Factor: None to minimal; the music is actually quite soothing, but some may be startled by it.

"RYSHER" is in a large extremely condensed Times New Roman-style font and "ENTERTAINMENT" is seen in a smallish font below it. A comet streaks in the city sky as the animation finishes.
Variants:
- This logo was redone for movies. The notable differences are: the words are now done in CGI, the city and sky look nicer, and the hills have been changed to mountains.
- Around 1996 or so, the words "A COX COMPANY" appear beneath the logo.
- When Rysher merged with Television Program Enterprises in 1995, the text read "RYSHER TPE", with a line under "YSHE", and the text shrinks as it sets.
- Sometimes, "in association with", "And in Association with" or "Produced in Association with" would be seen above the logo.
