Logo[]
1st logo[]
On a cloudy sky background, we see a shady blue card with a logo on it zooming-out rapidly. The logo is a teal abstract segmented cloud with a sunburst popping out of its top. Below the sunburst on the cloud is the words “GENESIS ENTERTAINMENT” in a white old-fashioned serif font. The logo shines.
Variants[]
- There was an earlier variant which showed the logo flipping toward us on a light cornflower blue/black gradient background. There are four “still” sparkles and a “pop-up” shadow effect surrounding it. Also, the cloud is given a more sapphire color and the body of the sunburst is white. The cloud sometimes lacks segmenting lines.
- A variant with the byline "A DIVISION OF GANNAWAY ENTERPRISES, INCORPORATED" in dark blue was used until 1988.
2nd logo[]
On a space background, we see legions of shooting stars. From the right, a giant “G” (looking as if carved from a block of ice) zooms out, turning at an angle towards the screen. As shooting stars fly by the “G”, it sparkles, and turns into a TV-tube ice shape with the “G” appearing as a cutout with small streaks flying from the left. Below the “G” tube, a bunch of sparkles form the words:
GENESIS
E N T E R T A I N M E N T
.
3rd logo[]
It's basically the same as the 1995 New World Entertainment logo, except the text below reads “NEW WORLD/GENESIS DISTRIBUTION”. Occasionally, only the "explosion" is shown.
Music/Sounds[]
1st logo[]
The end theme of the show or none.
2nd logo[]
- 1989-1995: Starts with skittering effects as the starts shoot by, leading into a droning, atonal synth track that adds an ominous bass note when the "G" comes in. "GENESIS" shines in with a strange, distorted bell-like effect.
- 1991-1995: A series of laser-shooting sounds, then an ascending THX-like synth note that leads up to a calm synth note and a shimmering sound when "GENESIS" shines in.
- Some series would use the end-title theme from any show.
3rd logo[]
Same as the 1995 New World Entertainment logo.
Scare Factor[]
1st logo[]
Low to medium. The graphics are tacky, and when combined with the dramatic end themes of certain shows, may be startling to some. But even this logo is pretty harmless.
2nd logo[]
- 1989-95 version: Low. The end sound may be freaky, but it is a great logo, and it is a favorite of many.
- 1991-95 version: See above.
3rd logo[]
Same as the 1994 New World Entertainment logo.
