all against a stylized brown or plain black background. There are lines above and below the name.
Variant: Sometimes, "Distributed By" would fade in after the logo forms.
Nicknames: "The H Ribbon", "Hallmark Ribbon"
Logo: On a black background, we see a stylized H made of ribbons, which is surrounded by a box zooming up on us, while "HALLMARK ENTERTAINMENT" in a grey Times New Roman font moves up the place itself under the box. When it's completed, the logo zooms back from us a bit.
Variants:
FX/SFX: The zooming.
Music/Sounds: The closing theme of the show, silence, or a short fanfare.
Availability: Rare. It was also seen on TV shows and movies made by Hallmark Entertainment of the era.
Editor's Note: It's a well-crafted logo for its time, though some might mistake the H ribbon as resembling an X.

Nicknames: "The H Ribbon", "Hallmark Ribbon"
Logo: On a black background, we see a stylized H made of ribbons, which is surrounded by a box zooming up on us, while "HALLMARK ENTERTAINMENT" in a grey Times New Roman font moves up the place itself under the box. When it's completed, the logo zooms back from us a bit.
Variants:
- A filmed version exists.
- Sometimes, "Distributed by" would be seen on top.
- At the beginning of some TV movies, "PRESENTS" appears below.
- Occasionally, the copyright stamp is omitted.
- There is a version where the logo appears on a dusty light yellow background. The border is smaller while the text is much larger. Both of them are in black.
- A still variant without the "H" logo can be seen in The Poseidon Adventure.
FX/SFX: The zooming.
Music/Sounds: The closing theme of the show, silence, or a short fanfare.
Availability: Rare. It was also seen on TV shows and movies made by Hallmark Entertainment of the era.
- It's seen on The Secret World of Alex Mack and Farscape, which was retained on DVD releases.
- This can be seen on the TV movie Sabrina, the Teenage Witch, followed by the first NBCUniversal logo.
- On recent prints of Alice in Wonderland (1999 TV movie), the Sonar Entertainment logo plasters this one.
Editor's Note: It's a well-crafted logo for its time, though some might mistake the H ribbon as resembling an X.
