Hearst Entertainment was founded in 1980 and later became the parent company of King Features Entertainment. Most of the Hearst catalog, with some exceptions, is held by Lionsgate.
Nicknames: "The Eagle", "The Sliding Eagle"
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.
Variants:
FX/SFX: The normal variants have the wings slide and the text zoom. The "Hearst Broadcasting" variant has the eagle zoom in, the name slide up, and the "Produced IAW" text fade in. 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.
Availability: Uncommon.
Editor's Note: The logo has some rather rough animation, as the sliding seems to move like construction paper.
Logo: On a black background, we see the letters "HEARST" unfold as it zooms out in place. While that's happening, "entertainment" writes itself in.
FX/SFX: The folding of the letters and the drawing of "entertainment".
Music/Sounds: None.
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.
Editor's Note: None.
