1st Logo
(2014-2016)
Logo: On a gradient gray background, parts of the words "ENDEMOL" and "SHINE", stacked on top of each other, appear by flipping. "GROUP (or STUDIOS)", in brighter shade of gray, flips below. The text is stacked like this:
ENDEMOL
SHINE
GROUP
Variants:
- There is a variant for each country as per the last logo (i.e. "ENDEMOL SHINE AUSTRALIA" for Australia, "ENDEMOL SHINE NORTH AMERICA" for North America, etc.)
- A still version exists.
- In Turkey, "TURKEY" replaces "NORTH AMERICA". Also, the logo is brighter.
FX/SFX: The flipping.
Music/Sounds: Short wind and xylophone tune. On Big Brother, the CBS generic theme plays over.
Availability: No longer current. The NA version is seen on the fourth season of MasterChef Junior, replacing the Shine America logo. The regular version appears on newest episodes of MasterChef around the globe, replacing both the Shine Group or Shine International logos. The North America logo reappeared in the nineteenth season of Big Brother on CBS, as well as the first few episodes of Celebrity Big Brother.
Scare Factor: None.
2nd Logo
(2016- )
Logo: We see close-ups of words drawing themselves in and turning grey, we then cut to a shot of the final logo, the words "EndemolShine Group" in a font similar to the old Endemol Logo. The text is stacked like this:
EndemolShine
Group
Variants:
- There is a variant for each country as per the last logo (i.e. "EndemolShine Australia" for Australia, "EndemolShine NorthAmerica" for North America, etc.)
- A long version exists.
- There is a version where the text simply slides in. A longer variant of this exists as well, where the text slowly zooms in after its animation completes.
- On the 2017 revival of Fear Factor, the text "EndemolShine NorthAmerica" are all in one line and appear in-credit at the bottom-left of the final scene.
- OnMasterChef Australia, starting with the eighth season, the copyright stamp appears below "EndemolShine Australia".FX/SFX: Just the words drawing in and turning solid. Good CGI.
Music/Sounds: A majestic fanfare (long variant of the normal logo), the sounder from the Shine Australia logo (normal logo), or a mechanical-sounding electronic tune (sliding variant).
Availability: Current. Seen on former Shine and Endemol Productions such as The Voice, MasterChef and Gogglebox. It began to appear on later episodes of Celebrity Big Brother as well and the twentieth season of the regular summer edition. This didn't appear on the eighteenth and nineteenth seasons of Big Brother.
Scare Factor: None, this is a clean logo, but it's boring compared to the previous logos.
