Background

In late 2005, Liberty International Entertainment was renamed to Liberation Entertainment under co-founder Jay Boberg. In America, all of the company's releases were distributed by Genius Products under its resurrected name. Once Genius crumbled in 2009, Liberation folded the same year, with its library being sold one year later to Camelot Entertainment Group, which in turn went on in 2013 to be acquired by Liberty International co-founder Irv Hollender's then-new outfit Multicom Entertainment.

1st Logo (2006-2007)


Visuals: Over a black background is a white-outlined, blue rectangle with the text "LIBERATION" on it, along with a yellow-green arrow with a cartoon hand holding a black torch (with green fire) on it, and the word "entertainment" at the bottom. Plus, there's a slow shine on "entertainment".

Technique: 2D computer animation.

Audio: The sound of a projector starting, an organ like-note playing, and a deep note that plays throughout the logo.
