The company has tapped into feature films, TV movies, TV series, and documentaries. The company also has a production and international distribution branch.
1st Logo (1995-2000's)
Logo: On a gradient blue background, two text from different sides slide into the frame: one is in a normal font with a black color, white outline, and shadow, while the other is in a more action-like font with a blue gradient underneath, a white outline, and a shadow. The text "ENTERTAINMENT" in white pops up one by one while a maroon gradient-shaded filmstrip wipes in behind the "N" in "DOLPHIN". A chrome dolphin then fades in above the text, with the filmstrip afterwards reflecting and the dolphin shining. A subtle ripple effect is seen on the background with it getting more darker. The gradients on the top text also grow bigger.
FX/SFX: The text panning and appearing, the filmstrip and the dolphin reflecting, and the background rippling and getting darker.
Music/Sounds: A dramatic wind track as the logo forms in which drums can be heard when all of the text appears. Whooshes and beeps sync-in with the text animations whereas a ding is heard when the dolphin shines. Then, and electronic synth sound is held when the background ripples.
Availability: Can be seen on a VHS tape of Street Sharks.
Editor's Note: None.
2nd Logo (2000's-2016?)
Logo: In an underwater setting, we see three dolphins swimming along together up and down. Once passing by the screen, the logo fades in with a ripple effect accompanied with bubbles appearing.

While this is happening, the underwater background fades to black with several more bubbles appearing before disappearing.
