Rysher Entertainment was founded by former Warner Bros. syndication executive Keith Samples in 1991 as a television syndication company, expanding into TV and feature film production. Cox Enterprises bought Rysher for $15 million in 1993, and merged Television Program Enterprises into it. Rysher was briefly renamed Rysher-TPE for a time, and that gave them the TPE, Operation Prime Time and Bing Crosby Productions libraries. Rysher was shut down in 1999 by Cox, and the distribution rights to the company's library was acquired by Paramount Television (now CBS Studios and CBS Media Ventures). The ownership of the library was later acquired by 2929 Entertainment in 2001 and by Qualia Capital on March 29, 2006, who merged the library alongside the recently-acquired Pandora Pictures and Gaylord Films to form Qualia Libraries (now owned by Village Roadshow through Vine Alternative Investments).
Most of the company's film library is currently owned by Paramount Pictures, except for The Opposite of Sex, which is still owned by Sony Pictures Entertainment via Sony Pictures Classics. As for the television library, it is currently owned by Paramount Global and distributed by CBS Media Ventures, while the Saved by the Bell franchise and California Dreams are currently owned by NBCUniversal Syndication Studios (MGM International Television holds international television and digital rights to the former).

1st Logo (September 1991-May 22, 1993) | 2nd Logo (1993) | 3rd Logo (1993-1996) | 4th Logo (April 28, 1995-September 23, 2003) |
Visuals: There is a black/dark blue gradient background with dozens of stars. The words "RYSHER ENTERTAINMENT" in a white Belwe font then fade in. "RYSHER" is on top of "ENTERTAINMENT", both words are centered, and two stars fade in on the left and right of "ENTERTAINMENT".
Variants:
Technique: Early CGI.
Audio: A very low chime sound followed by a saxophone solo. Despite sounding similar to the style of Kenny G, the logo was composed by George B. Flowers.
Availability:
Visuals: A print version of the Rysher TPE variant of the next logo on a purple gradient background, albeit the text is separated with a dot.
Technique: None. [possible misuse]
Audio: Same as the last logo.
Availability:
Visuals: On the top half of the screen, there is a silhouette of a city skyline (with hills in the background) at sunset. As it becomes nighttime, the lights in the city buildings are turned on as stars appear, along with the words "RYSHER ENTERTAINMENT". "RYSHER" is in a large, condensed Times New Roman-style font and "ENTERTAINMENT" is seen in a smallish font below it. A comet then flies by.
Variants:
Technique: 2D computer animation.
Audio: A mellow horn tune with synth drums plays, with what sounds like a bird screeching or a flute at the end of the music. The music was composed by Mike Greene.
Audio Variants:
Availability:
Visuals: Modeled on the last logo, this time with more detail; the lights in the buildings flicker on and off and we see car lights moving, the hills have been changed to mountains, and the sky is more blueish (it was purple on the last logo). The words are now done in CGI and copper, with "RYSHER" fading in with a zoom-in and "ENTERTAINMENT" just fading in. The byline "A COX COMPANY" (with " COX" being the corporate logo) appears beneath the logo, and shortly afterwards, a comet streaks through the sky.
Variants:
Technique: CGI.
Audio: None.
