Logos[]
1st logo (1991-1993):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.
2nd logo (1993): A print version of the Rysher TPE variant of the next logo on a purple gradient background, albeit the text is separated with a dot.
3rd logo (1993-1996): 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[]
- When Rysher merged with Television Program Enterprises in 1993, 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.
- One version of the logo featured the text "RYSHER ENTERTAINMENT" in a smaller font with "and" below.
- Another variant exists where the animation seems to be slowed down.
4th logo (1995-2003):Modeled on the last logo, this time with more detail; the lights in the buildings flicker on and off and we see car lights moving, the hills have been changed to mountains, and the sky is more blueish (it was purple on the last logo). The words are now done in CGI and copper, with "RYSHER" fading in with a zoom-in and "ENTERTAINMENT" just fading in. The byline "A COX COMPANY" (with " COX" being the corporate logo) appears beneath the logo, and shortly afterwards, a comet streaks through the sky.
Music/Sounds[]
1st logo (1991-1993): With a pindrop sound, we hear a jazzy saxophone tune that sounds styled to Kenny G.
2nd logo (1993): Same as the last logo
3rd logo: A mellow horn tune plays, with what sounds like a bird screeching at the end of the music.
4th logo: None
Music/Sounds Variants[]
- CBS airings of Nash Bridges and Four Corners used a generic theme.
- On some shows, the first logo's music can be heard.
- On Three Wishes, a whoosh is heard as the comet streaks.
