Background

In February 1989, Phoenix Entertainment Group was acquired by The Hearst Corporation, who owns distributor King Features Entertainment and it was renamed to King Phoenix Entertainment. The division was later renamed in 1990 to "Hearst Entertainment Productions" after parent King Features Entertainment was renamed to Hearst Entertainment.

Logo (May 14, 1989-May 22, 1990)

Visuals: On a black background, a orange light glows at the bottom-left of screen. From the glow, a pinkish-orange streak swoops up and curves around clockwise forming a giant cursive "P"; the orange disappears when the "P" is formed. As the tip disappears, "KING PHOENIX ENTERTAINMENT" appears under the "P". There is an orange gradient crown that stands next to the word "KING".

Variant: A prototype version of the logo exists where the orange tip stays on when the text and the crown appear.

Technique: Cel animation.

Audio: Synthesized beeps with a whoosh when the "P" forms and ending with a synthesized fade out. An electronic "ding" sound is heard as the company name appears. Jerry Goldsmith is the composer.

Audio Variant: Sometimes, the end title theme plays over, or the logo is silent.

Availability:

The prototype version only appears on the TV movie Out on the Edge.
The standard version made its debut on Blind Witness.
It also appears on the 1990 TV movies Challenger and Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.
The logo is usually followed by either the King Features Entertainment or the Hearst Entertainment logos.
