PolyGram Entertainment

Background

In February 2017, Universal Music Group (owned by French media conglomerate Vivendi S.A. and unaffiliated with Universal Pictures since 2004) revived the PolyGram name for UMG's new film and television unit called PolyGram Entertainment.

(September 15, 2016-)

Logo: Just the word "polygram" in a bold font, with "ENTERTAINMENT" in a smaller, spaced-out font below. All the text is white against a black background. Sometimes, a byline saying "A UNIVERSAL MUSIC GROUP COMPANY" (or "A UNIVERSAL MUSIC GROUP PARTNER") will be below it.

Variants:

On Beastie Boys Story, the text is smaller than usual.
On Mary J. Blige's My Life, the logo is zooming in.
On some episodes of Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist, the logo is inverted, and is next to the Zihuatanejo Productions logo.
- On the show's Christmas movie entitled Zoey's Extraordinary Christmas, the logo is next to the Feigco Entertainment logo.
On Happiness Continues: A Jonas Brothers Concert Film, the logo is next to the Federal Films logo.
An animated version exists, where it shows the vinyl record covers flipping in with a shadow of the logo while the camera rotates to the logo's center. The finished product is glitching and then is flashed.

FX/SFX: None for the still version. The covers flipping for the animated version.

Music/Sounds: Either a strange guitar tune with the sound of the amplifier, none or the theme from any given soundtrack.

Availability: Seen on The Beatles: Eight Days a Week; however, it doesn't appear at all on the digital prints of the film. Also appeared on Pavarotti, Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist on NBC, Zoey's Extraordinary Christmas on The Roku Channel and Beastie Boys Story, the latter of which was released on Apple TV+. The animated version appears on The Go-Go's on Showtime.
