Liberty International Entertainment

Background

Liberty International Entertainment was a home entertainment company, known for acquiring and selling film and television content worldwide, and a former member of AFMA. It was co-founded in 1997 by Irv Hollender (founder of INI Entertainment Group) and Jay Boberg (ex-MCA Records president/I.R.S. Records co-founder), with offices in Los Angeles and the UK. It was later rebranded under Boberg as Liberation Entertainment in late 2005.

Logo (1997-2006)

Visuals: A human right hand holding a torch with file is shown. The camera slowly zooms out slightly circlewise from the top as the Statue of Liberty, with wiggling film curled around it, is unveiled. The text "Liberty International Entertainment Inc." is also unveiled from the bottom of the statue, as it moves circlewise and counter-clockwise horizontally. It ultimately stops beneath the statue, and the logo fades out shortly after.

Variant: A variant exists where the "TM" logo appears near the right of the company text.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: Orchestrated music composed, arranged and performed by organist Dave Siebels (also responsible for the background music in the opening of Phenomenon: The Lost Archives and writing the songs for The Return to Treasure Island, both of them distributed by the company).

Audio Variant: One version of the logo has non-orchestrated sound.

Availability: Some examples of where you can find this logo include You're Driving Me Crazy!, Hotshot and former Disney animator Phil Nibbelink's adaptation of Puss in Boots and Leif Ericson: The Boy Who Discovered America.
