1st Logo (October 17, 2000-November 16, 2004?)
-
Without "It's a Secret Studios" text"
-
With "It's a Secret Studios" text
Logo: We see a DVD disc in the center of the screen with "3rd Sector" on it, with two green beams of light coming from it. Over it is this text:
DVD compression, menu design, and
authoring services provided by:
3rd Sector Entertainment
Manhattan Beach, CA
www.3rdsectorent.com
Variant: Select DVDs have the text "It's a Secret Studios" alongside the main text. This can be seen on the 2004 DVDs of The Cooler and the first season of Home Movies.
FX/SFX: None.
Music/Sounds: None.
Availability: Rare, as this logo only appeared on a few known releases.
- The first known release with this logo was the 2000 DVD of Annabelle's Wish.
- This appeared on some pre-2006 Artisan/Lionsgate releases, such as the first two Cube films and Cabin Fever.
- It also appears on most early Shout! Factory releases, such as the first season of Home Movies.
Editor's Note: None.
2nd Logo (May 31, 2005?-2007?)
Logo: We see the previous logo on a background with things happening. "Menu Design" in blue then wipes in next to the logo. Three rings appear, followed by the text "Encoding & Authoring" next to the logo. The rings appear again, followed by "3rd Sector Entertainment" appearing on the top right corner of the logo, with "It's a Secret Studios" under it. The company's web address and their location appear under the logo.
FX/SFX: The background animation, the rings, the text appearing.
Music/Sounds: A low hum plays all throughout, while two bleeps are heard when the rings appear.
Availability: Rarer than the previous logo, as it appeared on fewer (known) releases.
- Seen on most Shout! Factory releases of the era, including the second and third seasons of Home Movies and volume one of The Super Mario Bros. Super Show.
Editor's Note: None.
