Background
Rigel Entertainment was an American television production and distribution company that was established in 1992 by John F.S. Laing.
1st Logo (March 18, 1994-January 8, 2008)
Visuals: On a space background, a red meteor crosses the screen. Then, the metallic "RIGEL" word with a blue star behind "G" appears with the star sparkling just after the meteor passes by.
Variant: Later TV movies have the logo still or in-credit.
Technique: Low-grade logo and effects suitable at least for the '90s.
Audio: Silence, or an eight note guitar tune composed by Christopher Franke.
Availability: Appeared on various movies and TV programs made by the company, like RoboCop (1994) and Universal Soldier parts 2 and 3 (TV movies made in 1998). Also appears on RoboCop: Prime Directives and When a Man Falls in the Forest.
2nd Logo (May 10-December 24, 2008)
Visuals: Light beams from the complicated surface full of repeating pattern - a four-point figure in a circle. After the screen zooms through the surface, we can see intensive bluish light spreading into four directions, but then it decreases to show white "RIGEL" and light blue "ENTERTAINMENT" below, while the light beams from "G". The logo slowly zooms out.
Variant: The closing version used for TV movies is still on a white background.
