authoring services provided by:

3rd Sector Entertainment

Manhattan Beach, CA

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, The Cooler, 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.
