Background

Marvel Entertainment Group was the then-name for Marvel Entertainment, Marvel Comics' parent company.

1st Logo (October 31, 1992-January 31, 1998)


Visuals: On a black/gray gradient background, the former Marvel Comics logo, along with a blue burst next to it with the stacked words, "MARVEL ENTERTAINMENT GROUP" inside of it, is seen.

Variant: On season 3 onwards of Spider-Man: The Animated Series, the copyright stamp appears on the bottom left of the logo.

Technique: A still image.

Audio: The end theme of the show or none.

Audio Variants:

  • On season 1 of both Iron Man and Fantastic Four (1994), the first portion of either the 1991 or 1990 Genesis Entertainment music is used.
    • On episode 10 of season 1 of Iron Man, it abruptly switches from the 1991 music to the 1990 music.

Availability:

  • Most 1992-1998 Marvel shows have it, but X-Men's logo on non-DVD prints has been updated with the Marvel Animation logo.
  • This logo was last seen on Spider-Man: The Animated Series.
  • The logo is also intact on BVHE DVD releases of X-Men and The Incredible Hulk (1996), respectively as well as Disney+ prints of the shows it produced.

2nd Logo (September 21, 1997-May 29, 1998)

Visuals: In space, a globe of the Earth spins around. From the bottom of the screen, a red, bold "MARVEL" zooms up, and from the top, the Marvel "M" made out the same way as the Marvel Films logo but with nothing written across it, zooms towards the bottom. When they both reach their respective points, both logo flashes, and the words "ENTERTAINMENT GROUP, INC." appear under the Marvel logo, and the word "Studios" appears on the Marvel "M". After the flash, the countries on the globe are now filled in with pictures of the Marvel Comics characters.

Variant: On Silver Surfer, the text "Based on the Marvel Comics Characters" appears below this logo.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: The end of the show's theme.

Availability:

  • Seen on Silver Surfer, the second season of The Incredible Hulk (1996) (a.k.a. The Incredible Hulk and She Hulk) and on the TV movie Nick Fury: Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.
  • It's retained on reruns of the 2 aforementioned shows on Disney XD and also on their Disney+ prints. However, Netflix prints plastered this with the 5th Marvel Studios logo.
