O Entertainment was a production company founded by Steve Oedekerk in 1990. O Entertainment produced the Thumbs! series (Thumb Wars, Bat-Thumb, Thumbtanic, etc.), Santa vs. the Snowman 3D, The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius and Back at the Barnyard among other shows and movies. Oedekerk later founded Omation as an animation subsidiary in 2002. Following the cancellation of Planet Sheen, which was poorly received and a ratings flop, the studio, along with Omation, closed down in 2013.

Visuals: On a black background, there is a light yellow "O", with "ENTERTAINMENT" also in light yellow below it. The "O" then rotates, turning into a lip shape, and says "Ha-ha, Oedekerk!".
Variant: On a 1997 ABC broadcast of Santa vs. the Snowman, there are snowflakes falling.
Technique: CGI.
Audio: A 3-note synth theme and the "O"'s high-pitched dialogue (provided by Oedekerk himself) playing over it.
Audio Variants:
Availability: It only appeared on The O Show (a.k.a. steve.oedekerk.com) and the TV version of Santa vs. the Snowman.
Visuals: On a black background, a giant, gelatinous purple "O" falls to the center of the screen. As it jiggles, "Entertainment" (also in purple, in a handwritten font) appears below in a blur effect.
Variant: On Thumbs!, "WWW.OEDEKERK.COM" appears below the logo.
Technique: CGI made with Alias Wavefront Maya.

Legacy: This logo is best known for appearing on Nickelodeon's The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius in conjunction with DNA Productions, and is a favorite among fans of the show.
Visuals: In black and white, a thumb depicted as a human is sitting on a chair while winding a camera with stacks of film reels next to it in front of a black background. As he does, the camera projects to reveal the O Entertainment logo (the same one as the first, except that the "O" is in a slightly different font and bolder) while it pans briefly.
Technique: Live-action and CGI.
