'''Saban Brands''' was established by Haim Saban through Saban Capital Group, Inc. after re-acquiring the rights to the ''Power Rangers'' franchise from [[Walt Disney Pictures|The Walt Disney Company]] on May 12, 2010, who previously acquired his former company [[Saban Entertainment]] in 2001 and was reincorporated as "BVS Entertainment". During its lifespan, Saban produced the franchise's newer installments for [[Nickelodeon]] and [[Netflix Originals|Netflix]].

'''Saban Brands''' was established by Haim '''Saban''' through Saban Capital Group (SCG) after re-acquiring the rights to the ''Power Rangers'' franchise (as well as all the ''Power Rangers''-related series) from [[The Walt Disney Company]] on May 12, 2010; Disney previously acquired his former company [[Saban Entertainment]] (as part of a deal that included the rest of Fox Family Worldwide) in 2001 and reincorporated it as "BVS Entertainment". Saban would later acquire Paul Frank in 2010 and re-acquired the international rights to the ''Digimon'' franchise (including its English dubs) on September 25, 2012 as well as other properties such as ''Popples'' and ''My Pet Monster''. During its lifespan, Saban produced the ''Power Rangers'' franchise's newer installments for [[Nickelodeon]] as well as other programs such as ''Luna Petunia'' (with Cirque du Soleil Kids) and ''Julius Jr.'' among others for other platforms and broadcasters. It also operated a film division, '''SCG Films'''. International distribution rights to Saban Brands' library was handled by [[MarVista Entertainment]]. On May 2018, [[Hasbro]] (which was recently named the master toy licensee for ''Power Rangers'' four months prior, replacing Bandai) acquired several of Saban's properties including ''Power Rangers'', and in July 2018, the company was shuttered. However, the Paul Frank brand would be retained by SCG but was later acquired by Futurity Brands in 2020 since it was not included in the Hasbro sale. Sometime around the beginning of the 2020s, Hasbro's rights to the ''Digimon'' anime series expired and were transferred back to [[Toei Animation]].

Background

Saban Brands was established by Haim Saban through Saban Capital Group (SCG) after re-acquiring the rights to the Power Rangers franchise (as well as all the Power Rangers-related series) from The Walt Disney Company on May 12, 2010; Disney previously acquired his former company Saban Entertainment (as part of a deal that included the rest of Fox Family Worldwide) in 2001 and reincorporated it as "BVS Entertainment". Saban would later acquire Paul Frank in 2010 and re-acquired the international rights to the Digimon franchise (including its English dubs) on September 25, 2012 as well as other properties such as Popples and My Pet Monster. During its lifespan, Saban produced the Power Rangers franchise's newer installments for Nickelodeon as well as other programs such as Luna Petunia (with Cirque du Soleil Kids) and Julius Jr. among others for other platforms and broadcasters. It also operated a film division, SCG Films. International distribution rights to Saban Brands' library was handled by MarVista Entertainment. On May 2018, Hasbro (which was recently named the master toy licensee for Power Rangers four months prior, replacing Bandai) acquired several of Saban's properties including Power Rangers, and in July 2018, the company was shuttered. However, the Paul Frank brand would be retained by SCG but was later acquired by Futurity Brands in 2020 since it was not included in the Hasbro sale. Sometime around the beginning of the 2020s, Hasbro's rights to the Digimon anime series expired and were transferred back to Toei Animation.

Then, three red ribbons, two from the right and one from the left, fly in and form the Saban logo (which appears as a revised version of the 1996 Saban Entertainment logo). Once the logo is formed, the words "SABAN Brands" appear letter by letter, both set in Avenir. Finally, the sun fades from left to the center.

Variants:

  • A 4:3 version also exists. The same goes for the short version. However, it is in 16:9 squished to fill the 4:3 format.
  • A short version of the logo in which the ribbons come from the sun to form the Saban logo exists. The text appearing and the sun fading are also faster.
  • On Power Rangers Samurai for the Nintendo DS, the logo is an all-black print on a white background.

Technique: CGI.

2nd Logo (February 4, 2017-December 1, 2018)


Visuals: On a black background, the camera pans around a glass globe with gold continents and transparent oceans (which looks to have lights inside of it) and zooms backwards to the center of the screen. As this happens, the transparent oceans get filled with gold as well. The globe stops in the near-center of the screen and the gold letters "SABAN Brands", and the trademark symbol in tiny print, fade in below the globe. Three streaks then draw themselves into the globe from the left, forming the Saban logo, as the continents disappear from the globe.

Trivia: This logo was inspired by the previous Saban logos, as well as the CBS Films, Lionsgate, Relativity Media and Universal Pictures logos for reference. The logo's case study can be found on designer Yawar Raja's YouTube channel here.

Variant: A longer version exists. It starts with three gold strands zooming past and several other strands spreading from the corners of the screen, tipped with bright lights. More strands slowly spread, drawing in the globe as hexagonal lights appear, which draw in the continents. The rest of the logo follows normally, except the animation is slower and the text reads "SCG Films". The final composite had "SABAN Brands" instead.

Technique: CGI by Yawar Raja and Shahriar Rahman at Factorial Productions.

Audio: A proud five-note fanfare with the last note held for a couple of seconds.

Audio Variants:

  • The longer version uses a repeating four-note twinkling buildup with a violin underscore, before going into a 12-note fanfare, with the 11th note held out mid-length, and the 12th note being held out longer.
  • The final composite had a different version of the fanfare.

Audio Trivia: For the long version, notes 3-6 match the short version, and the last note is held longer than the short version.

Availability: It debuted on the third episode of Power Rangers Ninja Steel and was seen on further episodes of the series (and its second season, Power Rangers Super Ninja Steel) as well as Luna Petunia: Return to Amazia, Glitter Force Doki Doki (the English dub of Doki Doki Pretty Cure), and Treehouse Detectives.

  • The SCG Films version was only seen on the 2017 Power Rangers movie.
  • Starting with Power Rangers Beast Morphers, the Allspark Pictures (or, as of Dino Fury, Entertainment One) logo is used instead due to Hasbro's acquisition of most of Saban Brands' properties.

Molten Gold (2017?)

Visuals: Molten gold splashes like waves in between three white bars. The gold hardens as the screen zooms out to form the Saban logo as a globe with some golden continents. When it's done zooming out, the text "SABAN Brands" appears to the right in an unknown way and the logo turns to print.
