On April 14, 1990, as part of a corporate restructuring, the Hearst Corporation decided to rename the [[King Features Entertainment]] company as '''Hearst Entertainment''', or '''Hearst Entertainment Distribution''', while the [[King Phoenix Entertainment]] company, which Hearst had acquired in 1989, was renamed to '''Hearst Entertainment Productions'''. The company stopped making telemovies around the early 2000s.

Line 35 ⟶ 34:
*The word "{{color|blue|{{Font|serif|'''''Entertainment'''''}}}}" is sometimes replaced with "{{color|blue|{{Font|serif|'''''Broadcasting'''''}}}}". The eagle logo is smaller, but the name is bigger than usual. The animation is also different; the finished eagle logo appears and zooms in to its spot, while the text "PRODUCED IN ASSOCIATION WITH" fades in above the logo and the name "{{color|blue|{{Font|serif|'''''Hearst Broadcasting'''''}}}}" comes from below and slides up to its place below the eagle. The background is more of a lit, slanted double gradient background.
*A version also exists where the background is {{color|blue}} and the eagle and text are in {{color|#FFD900|yellow}}. This was seen on ''The Rendering'' and ''Deadly Betrayal''.
*On the ''Phantom 2040'' videogame, the logo is {{color|purple}} on a black background. The colors were opposite on the Game Gear version.
'''Technique:''' The normal and "Hearst Broadcasting" variants have 2D animation. None for the still variant.
'''Music/Sounds:''' None or the closing theme of the show, but, on some King Features distributed films, thanks to sloppy editing, the 1981 [[King Features Entertainment]] "Crown Trail" music plays over this logo, and the animation plays much slower and choppier in a poor attempt to make the music blend in better. NBC and CBS airings used a generic theme starting in 1994 and ABC airings used a generic theme starting in 1998.
'''Availability:''' Uncommon.
Line 50:
*Nowadays, Hearst's library is mostly owned by [[Lionsgate]], and any of their logos (following or plastering it) may appear instead (in the case of FXM's and Amazon Prime's print of ''Wildflower'').

'''Availability:''' The only known sighting of this logo is at the end of streaming prints (as well as some TV airings, like on Epix's print) of ''An American Werewolf in London'', such as on VUDU, Amazon Prime, and Tubi, among others. It might also be seen internationally on any original programming.

Logo: On a grainy white background, two blue wings (one from the left side with five feathers, and one on the right with three feathers) comes sliding toward each other. As it gets closer, the wings make up a head of an eagle. after the wings stop sliding, the ends of the feathers come sliding in. Halfway, the ends reverse itself with the tips reversed sliding and then stops in place. The words "Hearst Entertainment" in a blue italic serif font zoom in from the bottom.
