1st Logo (September 14, 1994)

Visuals: The screen is divided into two parts, which is a white rectangle at the top and black at the bottom. A stylized "N" in an orange oval with "N A S H" underneath slides on the top, and the white text "E N T E R T A I N M E N T" slides in at the bottom.

Technique: 2D animation.

Audio: The ending theme of the special.

Availability: Only shown on Angels Among Us.

2nd Logo (October 5, 1994-)

Visuals: After we see a strike of lightning, there are two golden parallelograms quickly zoom out on a black background, which reveal to be the stylized "N" from before inside an oval also outlined in gold. the words:

NASH
E N T E R T A I N M E N T

fade in below and the text shines.

Trivia: The logo was produced by G Man Productions and Kelly Shelly Design on September 13, 1994 (this is known because you can see a frame of the logo's production slate before the logo appears on 50 Years of Soaps: An All Star Celebration).

Variants:

Starting in 2008, an updated version has most of the logo being smaller in size (except "ENTERTAINMENT", which is bigger), with a reflection below, and with a green aura around the stylized "N" tilted towards the right.
Sometimes, the words "IN ASSOCIATION WITH" (in white) appear below the logo.
A still in-credit variant exists.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: There were three themes throughout this logo's lifetime:

1994-1995(?): A thunderclap-like whoosh sound.
1995-1996(?): A whoosh, then a calm synth tune, with four drumbeats at the end.
1996-: Same as before, but the whoosh has been changed to a zap sound.
NBC and Fox airings used a generic theme.

Availability: It debuted on the CBS special 50 Years of Soaps: An All-Star Celebration. It is currently seen on (Top 20) Most Shocking and Most Daring on truTV. The IAW variant can seen on the original NBC and Spike TV prints on World's Most Amazing Videos. This logo also appears on some TV specials from time to time.
