▲=== 1st Logo (2005- ) ===
▲'''Logo:''' On a dimly-lit white background, there is an orange line with a light tip at the front flying in from the left to the center of the screen. The light would get a little bright and the rest of the line would later merge into the light to make a curve and half of the letter "R". Growing out from the other half of the "R" is half of the letter "E" with a diagonal line in between the "E" and "R". The entire logo would zoom-in while animating and "EMBASSY ROW" in red-orange would fade-in and zoom-in at the same time. The light would travel down the "R", through the name, and half-way up to the letter "E".

Embassy Row is an American television, global-based format, and digital production company based in New York City, that was founded on May 12, 2005 by British television producer Michael Davies, entertainment marketer Tera Hanks, and filmmaker and former LivePlanet CEO Chris Moore.

Growing out from the other half of the "R" is half of the letter "E" with a diagonal line in between them. The entire logo zooms in while animating and "EMBASSY ROW" fades in and zooms in at the same time. The light travels down the "R", through the name, and halfway up to the letter "E".
Variants:
